Yes, but not talking about sales points. I'm talking about reading stuff, it says you need x. I look, see if x is there, what quality, purity, source, results the x is, then compare to others. If different, I research why, is it good dif or bad dif. Then I buy. Then use, THEN repeat. After many many runs I might have the knowledge to say, yes ff needs xyz. Or has too much abc. But, with those other 5,942 things to get right, and the soil I picked works .. I just don't see it as so bad or expensive, not when I could have picked some other stuff and not had the resources available with ff.
I'm complaining of the lack of real data. And pointing out that you add to the no real data issue by all this. I can grasp that your preference is not ff, but that (I'm assuming) took you years and grows galore to deduce, and it could have been easier on the next guy if all that experience could be expressed in real data. Like the ph thing, if one bag is low, others right then why, what component in that one bag is "off" why wasn't it disbursed to all the bags in that lot, did you check all other variables, etc. Did you get the bags, check each prior to any outside influence that could effect it? I'd it 1 in 2 that are low, 1 in 10, 1 in 1000? What ratio is the difference, is it the same substance each time causing the ph difference... Just so many facts that could be shared instead of the personal put downs.
I'm sorry, but I saw the thread and thought I'd find some good info. Some numbers to note and research, anything that could inform my next buy. But I was disappointed and might be just pitching a fit, I do that some days
