Does Fox Farms suck in your opinion. This whole boards and others seem to think it's gods gift but really, some experts I've talked to said it's crap. The best soil you'll get is home made. Your opinions

I transplanted into FFOF soil during my second week of veg and it wreaked havoc on my plants.
This is a leaf on one of my Satori plants after two weeks in the FFOF soil. My other plants (Ice, Hashplant, Kalichakra) were also burned to a lesser degree.
At the time I was feeding with 1 tsp Cal-Mag and 1 tsp Liquid Karma per gallon of water. It has been suggested that I received a bad bag of soil, which seems like the most logical explanation, as I've been using Cal-Mag and LK on previous grows in the same amounts without any trouble.
It seemed a like a nice soil, but I won't risk my grow to it again. Just think, I paid an extra $10 just to burn my plants. I could've burnt them myself for much less...
I've used FF OF fer 10 years and I have never burned anything in it. This includes seedlings as well as clones. I jus add perlite and go! ..... not sure why some one would only feed with calmag and LK? but it's askin fer trouble. You need ta use balanced nutes if ya want happy plants. My Take care... BC
