I've been growing since 2018 after I was given some cannabis cuttings. I rooted those cuttings and was trying to decide which soil to grow in and I happen to drive by Sohum Living Soil's offices in Denver and it intrigued me so I went in to check them out. I wound up buying 2 bags and I had a pretty much error free, first time grow with using water only. My plants thrived and showed no deficiencies all the way to finish and the end result was excellent. I've grown in Sohum for the next 3 years and have done a side by side with half plants in Sohum and half plants in potting medium using nutrients. The nutrient plants did grow a little bigger but the quality wasn't as good. The one thing I need to give a shout out to is Sohum's customer service. They will respond quickly to any question or concern and they back up their product! They are a great company with great people!
