Purple Cow Organics IndiCanja 1 Cubic Foot Bag, Organic Living Soil, Clean & Natural Plant Based Water Only Super Soil for Professional Indoor & Outdoor Growers

Living in a legal-grow state, I decided to try my hand (actually, both) at some cannabis. I'd never really grown anything, previously, other than some houseplants and some mold in the fridge. Even then, it's not so much growing as it is maintaining, so I have to temper my ego a bit, in regards that.Strange thing is, I don't use cannabis, but I had this bizarre desire to see if I could grow it. Why? Wasn't it Bonnie Tyler that sang "...every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild'? Ok, she also seems a bit needy in that song, so maybe that's not a great explanation as to why I decided to grow.But I digress - as I did my research on growing cannabis, I started to get a bit frustrated at what I was seeing. In most cases people were discussing having to meticulously measure nutrients, monitor the pH level of their water and soil on a daily basis, test run-offs, flush their grow pots to mitigate salt build up, test slurries, knock three times, daily, on African black-wood planks that had been cut under the harvest moon by albino pygmies, and on and on.Seriously, when you read about some people's experiences growing a strain of weed, that flourishes by itself in nature, they make it sound more complex than the Manhattan Project.Also, from what I read, it seemed like once problems started with their plants, additional issues would spring up from trying to correct the original problem, which created MORE stress and frustration. Nope, if I wanted this level of misery, I'd get married. Or become a Browns fan.So, having done my research and having navigated through the over-abundance of 'bro science' and 'hippie knowledge' that exists on the inter-webs, I decided to try and mimic mother nature as close as I could, which meant finding a quality organic living soil that would let the dirt and plant 'go do that voodoo, that they do, so well.'Which led me to Purple Cow Organics IndiCanja.And let me tell you, the plants loved it...well, I'm assuming, of course, since I don't actually speak to plants. But they grew very quickly, their color was bright and vibrant and they handled the low-stress training and topping that I performed, like a champ (which is more than I can say about some people that I know...you know who you are).The entire lifecycle of the plants was stress-free: I simply watered and that was it. And at no point did I experience a yellow leaf or issues with the plants. Even now, in the 10th week of flower, the plants are vibrant and the leaves are not dying or turning brown.Ok, so I did add a few additional pieces, but I'm not too sure how much it would have/have not impacted the grow, overall. I did add additional perlite and compost to my grow-pot soil and I did use a mycorrhizal fungal when I transplanted the seedlings into their final home (I originally started my seedlings in red solo cups).Also, my water? I boosted it with liquid seaweed and molasses. But really, that was it. The soil does what soil is supposed to do (ah, the secret, exciting life of soil) and the cannabis did its part and I wound up with bushy plants that are happy and healthy.I will also end up with a lot of yield - which means my friends and family are going to have a 'green Xmas' whether they like it or not. Maybe next time I will grow something that I can actually benefit from, like veggies...or maybe a girl friend.Hey, don't judge - it sort of worked in 'Weird Science'.

Amazing growth hard stems with this soil the bag will fillat least two 5 gallon pots stays moist for a good bit then dries out when needs to definitely worth the money. Be careful with a little Nats. Just don’t keep it too moist.

Great soil. Going into my 5 cycle using this soil .So good I can run it on 2 to 3 cycles. I mix a bit of perlite in to lighten .No bugs and perfect grow. Highly recommend. I no bot

The smell is a bit off from the P-C soil I used last year/Unpleasant, and the color looks infected pale and off a bit. It does not smell healthy/Earthy had had to remove it to the outdoors.

Purple cows Indicanja is amazing, especially for someone who is looking for an easy all purpose soil. I work in botany and have used many commercial soils and this stuff is by far one of the best. Being all natural with no harsh additives or pesticides I’d highly recommend this for anyone who does no till or just wants an all organic garden at an affordable price. 10 out of 10.

Came with a hole in the bag and tape over the hole. Opening the bag I discovered the fuzzy white mold. Just dumped the bag in the compost pile. Waste of $40 for me being on a strict budget. Didn't think to take pictures.UDATE: Guess the white fuzz was ok. Was told by more than one person that it wasn't bad to have the white fuzzy stuff. I will give it one more try. Hopefully the bag won't have a taped up hole with soil missing.... Updates to come.After ordering another bag of this soil turns out it IS a great soil. Talked with the manufacturer and they explained everything to me. My girls are loving it. Kinda hot but they are loving it. I've only watered it. Added a little perlite is all. Following the directions help. Happy growing.

Plants love the indicanja!

This is absolutely the WORST soil you can buy. It's chock-full of bugs. Don't believe the bots on here telling you it's not a big deal. This is the absolute WORST soil on the market. Amazon should pull it. The fact that they have the nerve to even sell this is beyond my comprehension. After I finish warning all of you who are reading this, I will be contacting Amazon to see if they WILL pull it. You ruined my crop. Hundreds of dollars waisted because your pathetic product. You should be ashamed. I'm furious. The genetics alone are worth more than you can imagine. I even separated my plants into 3 areas to ensure that if I had any problems it could be contained. Your soil is such a horrendous product that it spread through my entire house. DO NOT BUY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDUpdate: After filing a claim with their insurance company, I just wanted to update this. They obviously didn't pull the product. They say this is acceptable. Order refunded and they basically told me my genetics were not worth anything to them. They didn't pay any damages at all. Amazon said they would "review" the item to see if it should be removed from their site. Obviously Amazon doesn't care if you ruin your plants either. Again, stay as far away from this garbage as possible. We FINALLY managed to get rid of all the flies in out house. It took close to 4 months. Take my advice. Go get yourself some Fox Farm and leave this trash alone
