I opened the bag and it is the same stuff and for me seems a little course for a seed starting aggregate. In case folks would like to know why I am sold on this product here is some pictures of my bag with the ingredients. And the ph is adjusted to 6.3-6.8 which is perfect for tomatoes. Ami

I live a few miles from these guys. That stuff works great for what it was designed for here in Humboldt County California. Not my taste, but it works pretty good. The Ocean Forest is HOT, but works good for locals only growing indoors under lights.

Like I said, not my taste, but it works. Personally, I like Black Gold's products because it is not designed for that Humboldt market.

Cactus mix with Osmocote and a layer of seed starter on top to germinate in. Awesome.
