hey there I am using the house and garden line for soil and it works great!!!!!!!!! I have been a soil/hydro grower for 7 years now and have tried fox farm, GH, SA umm I know I'm forgetting others but, by far House and garden is way better. The PH is very stable you wont believe it, The grow chart you must follow to the T. I honestly think house and garden designed this company around cannabis. I have never had a grow go this easy. I have pics but dont know how to post them yet I will try to figure it out later. If you need any more help or have any questions let me know. by the way I live in san diego too what a small world huh?
