Some of the rest of us in other parts of the US get a shitty alternative: Jungle Growth.

Not bring up a dead thread, but there are a couple of alternatives that kellogs makes for us easdt coast fellas.
I have used both of these with great results.

I use them both to mix with my other soil amendments.
I use
Buffaloam
Worm castings
Sphangam peat moss
Bonemeal
And a cup or two of perlite. Grows like crazy

To reply to a bumped dead thread haha. Truthfully, I would avoid kelloggs soil, I opted to use it last year to fill up a few holes and although the price was very cheap, there is definitely better alternatives that wouldn't cost you much more, since you still have to add stuff.
Before using it online, I read that the kellog bags are full of some kind of mushroom spores and actually grow mushrooms in your soil (Non-toxic, non-psychedelic). This year, I think it was on one of my plants I had these big all white mushrooms growing out of the soil, which would attract lil insects like ants.
When the time came at the end of the year and I went to turn the soil, literally more then half the soil beneath the first few inches was a giant thing of mycelium growing literally like 30-40 gallons of soil was the size.. Idk if you know mycelium, but it's basically mushrooms root system, no roots will grow through it, and mycelium also is a big competitor for nutes in the soil.

Parts Hydrogen
But really it is a measure of acidity.
a scale of 0-14.
0 is extreme acidity.
14 is extreme alkaline(opposite of acidic)
7 is a neutral ph.
Weed growing in soil prefers around 6.4-6.9 usually closer to 6.5.
Hydroponics requires a different ph and is more ph sensitive
Old post and thread . Is mushroom compost bad ?

On Farmer's suggestion, come late May, I'm using Kelloggs (organic potting soil, in der green and yellow bag), and tap water. No amendments, no silica, no Cal-Mag, no Humboldt Snow, no buudswel, no nothing. All I have is a watering-wand and hose water at whatever the city pH is plus their cloromines, which replaces chlorine and is suppose to cause nutrient lock-out. Farmer says everything about growing weed other than these basics is pure-D hype. When the leaves start turning yellow, I'll add Cal-Mag. He says our water has plenty of magnesium. He lives 100 miles away in ta completely different water district, with completely different water. We'll see how it goes. If it doesn't go farmer's way for me..... he's paying. Yeah he is.

Ouch! This is probably why there's so many problems in the world. I feel like "Tool Time Tim", whose told something important, and then goes home to explain it to Jill, and twists it all up. Here is what Farmer actually said about Kelloggs. And I quote:

Good morning. Before going into the garden this morning, I decided to quickly peruse RIU, and I was surprised to see your post about Kellogg's. That thread has to do with Kellogg's Patio Plus, the one in "der green and yellow bag," as you noted. That is the wrong type of Kellogg's.
In your email below, you sent me a link asking if the "raised bed and potting mix" was the correct Kellogg's product. I replied, "Yep, that's the correct product." I hope you did not purchase the Patio Plus, which is the one in the green and yellow bag, as the "raised bed and potting mix" is in a yellow and red bag, pictured below:
I also suggested that you only use Silica, and Jack's 20-20-20 at 50% strength in the beginning, then switch over to Jack's 10-30-20 at 50% strength, and finally, finish with Jack's Aqua Gold 7-15-30, mixed with Epsom salts.
Your RIU post intimated that you were only going to use plain water, which I did not suggest -- and additionally, "you would be using Cal-Mag if the leaves start turning yellow". (Cal-mag will do nothing to reverse yellowing leaves.)
I get the feeling that I am not communicating effectively with you, as it does seem as though my message is not getting through.
Reefer is a weed, plain and simple. Give it the right environment, nutes, water, plenty of sun, and it flourishes, but even without the right environment, being neglected and abused, it still persists to grow.
••••••••••••••••••••
Yeah, but that's the one part I got right, Raised Bed & Potting Mix from DePo, under 10. bucks, and mixed it (pH'd, and very h2o damp) with 25% perlite. The plants loved it until I had to take them down for a much needed vacay-shonez. But I'll be back late May for a greenhouse session.
