After that I bring my ph meter right to the store and poke it through the bag to get a quick reading. There is so much debate about ffof and getting bad batches, people think it cant happen it not possible, but it is.
You are spot on bud even my hydro guy truer to tell me that bad ffof is impossible, he was a complete jerk offering no compensation for 200$ worth of soil and basically telling me I was an idiot!!! I wanted to knock his head in but I held back and walked out with my chin up, but yes ur right through this I've found alot of people have had this issue, and other issues since they recently changed where the get there dirt from, alot of people are disappointed but I've always used it and don't even know what else I'd try, I've seen alot of people getting poorly mixed(big clumps) turning bags extra hot etc... but thank you so much the feed back really puts me at ease and I certainly need it lol!!!
