Roots Organic: So far the best soil I've tried.

Seriously. Too bad it's so damn expensive.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I started using it about 2 years ago and it was just over $15 a bag. Now the local growshop want $26-28.

i didnt think it was that expensive, but I just picked one up and left and didnt look at the price.

Sounds like grow shops here, I thought the dude was my homeboy at a popular shop gettin over on me n tryin to act like he's giving me a deal marking the price 10 bucks on some light warrior.... ReAlly 13 dollar... Cause it's 22.99 but he says it's regularly 31.99 but he'll give it to me for 25.99... It's on there site for 22.99.... I love roots organic though.. The first And only I've used besides the light warrior for seeds...And that was toward the last grows I did, But even then I'll mix up alil RO with it.... It's the perfect dirt to have all stage long, n also a good base for super soil mixes... N dirt to start off with/keep..... don't know if I'll try ff though, shit can't try anything right now though... But yeah I agree gotta love the roots

Love roots first tried roots won't change..roots love to move around in roots I pay 14 a bag at my hydro store wish it was 5 a bag tho or 10..

This?

That is way expensive. Would be cheaper just to make your own wouldn't it? I mean it would cost you more initially but after that I think it would be fairly cheap.

If you go to a shop that buys RO (non 707 blend Im guessing) in any quantity of around a half pallet or more, they will make enough margin selling it at $15. Try to haggle em with another purchase or something.

where do you guys live cause your gettin screwed ! I get my roots for 15 a bag and light warrior for 13 .

yeah screwed i pay $12/$13 per bag here in so cal. i'm content with it. i notice that it tends to dry a little faster though.

when i bought some last year it was cheaper than all the other name brand soils, and i think it worked the best.

I use soiless mix now, but when I used soil I tried every brand I could get my hands on. RO was my preference

What is your soiless mix? Just curious.

I use a mix coco, peat moss and perlite.

I like having total control of nutes, once you get it down it's great. The mix has no nutritional value at all so you the grower take control. My yields and quality have both improved

For nutes I use GH Flora series, Cal Mag, and Bud Candy. I feed lightly daily w/ 1/2 strength nutes all week and then plain water on weekends. Easy to remember, my plants thrive and no burn. To say I'm happy would be an understatement

Thanks, something I will consider.

I got mine here in TX yesterday for $20/bag. Not cheap, but good mixes are worth it when they produce solid results.

I love roots!!!!!!!!!!
wait for it, wait for it ..... where's the "Roots sucks!!! use Fox Farm instead" lobby

and before it's even posted ..... yes they did have pest problems in production last year.... not saying much .. but it's a good soil

pest problems last year. now its running hot. yea, gotta love that RO!

1.5cu ft bag $25 in NY. Reamend and reuse it so you only have to buy it once.

anybody heard about bugs being/not being in the 707 this year?

I had great success with it last year but I heard alot of RO guys saying they got bugs...
