Issues with Happy Frog???

[mtbazz]

So I went to buy some new soil a few weeks back from my hydro shop.

The folks there have said that they no longer carry Happy Frog, my soil of choice.

According to them, they had recieved complaints from several customers about the soil, people claimed that it had a very low pH. The shop claimed to have sent a sample out for analysis and verified this, and also said it had to do with FF moving the manufacturing of this soil from the west coast to the east coast, and changing the soil recipe.

Anyone else hear about this?

ya I have a friend who works at our local hydro shop and he said stay away from happyfrog soil and he said the ocean one is still the same,I use Pro Mix because it dose not have Ph you have to Ph it your self and that is the way I like it.

for what its worth I called FF the other day with Qs on they're soulable nutes and asked about the east coast op and what have they changed from the original west mix with regard to ocean forrest mix

they said the type of wood used is the only formula change.
give em a call and ask about the happy frog and tell them about the PH.
if the ph has changed that much they must be alter something in the HF quite a bit?
