Like i said shamrock is still the best. they have qualty control and sterilize all thier composts with heat. FYI growise is made by them also only the orange bag with john innes is different than the shamrock compost. I would not chanse using cheap compost as this is the life blood of your plant. Aldi and Lidl compost is made up from mostly used mushroom compost.
Great info there Buds.
When I transplanted from the bat mix that I contaminated with a soil conditioner into the shamrock the plants got better in a couple of days so it definitely has a ph that MJ likes, the soil conditioner from aldi must have been way off because the growth was deformed and small and the compost quite woody so was probably way too acidic.
My soil ph tester although unreliable is showing it to be about 7.2 mixed with perlite.
They definitely like it anyway and anytime I used it I never had ph problems.
The brown gold is for certain types of plants that like acidic soil, I was looking at it one day and luckily it says so on the back.

wasn`t doubting you buds if anything backing you up.. used the aldi this time as when i sent herself to the garden centre thats what she came back with, after fogetting to go to the garden centre and stopped of in aldi on the way home the dosey mare..
its not doing too bad either i have to say, there filling out nicely, and i haven`t fed them anything, also i left a litre or two spare at the top to add more soil so the nutes in it (if any) will filter down and hopefully be used up..
bit of a gamble but fuck it i have to keep it intresting...
emerald soil? was 99% sure that was a scam
it was emerald soil, i thought it was ok but like i said a little hot for the seedlings, i added a bit more perlite to it as well.
did you use it yourself?
nope,happened to visit it when it started, reeked of bullshit and assumed it was a scam, wouldnt use it myself but good to know they ship.
It was good rich looking stuff and had a pungent smell and no woody bits etc.
I fucked it up though by adding a soil conditioner from aldi that messed up the ph and nearly killed the plants so I had to dump it.
I would try it again though.
I have the bat mix liquid nute as well but haven't tried it as the fish mix is kicking ass and I'm using GH flora trio for the hempys.
