Roots Organic 707

Anyone have any advise tricks or warnings about this product would love to hear your experience

im gonna be using 707 and bio bizz line amended with budswell and sea grean also a comparison grow of same plant in 707 with beneficial biology's line amended with budswell

i am also interested in the 707 havent used it just the regular roots

Rootz apparently has gnats this year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE-d3YhjMuM

just going to use some diatomaceous earth( cant spell anything) on top to stop that, but i have also been, on another forum, hearing that 707 is for outdoor because it retains water better and the pot mix RO is better drainage, soils have to drain well i guess? the gnats are always in RO as i hear

bee carefull diatomaceous earth is very acid

think they fixed the gnat issue.

Not true. It has a pH of 8, which is basic

so has this issue been fixed? anybody know.

I'm using it after a Nematode and BTI dunk. Couple gnats only, as one would expect. So I have no idea if they came with gnats

sub' says most of the major soil brands get mixed at the same facility so.....................

in his video he mentions a company that was storing near a dump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcun2j-WX8A

thxs for the correction

I try to stay on top of dump news!

does anyone know what is diferent about the soils as far as what they are made up of? what is giving the 707 more water retention?

If your going to use the 707 make sure to check the ph!...I just had a bag of Roots with ph of 5.0. My plants locked out shorty after tranplanting into it.

If the soil is really soil, and it's up and running with active microbes, then adjusting pH is futile and measuring pH is a waste of time

I use it and I don't have any problems. I use it rom seed/ clones all the way thru...

No burn or anything. My plants love them
