We’ve tried different coco based products because salespeople have approached us to try their brand, claiming it’s better than 420 DAKINE. NO KIDDING AROUND…We will not change anymore! This is the only thing my girls’ roots will ever touch. PH has never been an issue with DAKINE soil. My yields have increased tremendously, the girls are so happy in their 420 DAKINE! Talk standing hairs & lovely crystals, is all I have to say! 2 green thumbs up!
