Right on Kell glad your stoked, I hope rare earth has changed since you've used them cuz you got me a lol worried but oh well everything happens for a reason. What strains you running this year, I just grabbed some Moolah and The Truth in Grass Valley figured there proven to yield well in the foothills.

I used Kinney nursery last year, didn't have any issues with their soil, overall I'd say it's worth what they ask for it. However, I feel I got kinda screwed by the self owned and operated truckers who brought it out. The load seemed light (they are supposedly responsible for making sure each trailer is loading correctly so it's goes to full capacity), and they literally overcharged me A TON for the delivery. The receipt they gave me was unreadable and I didn't have the luxury of spending too much time discussing the final cost, as they parked both trucks in the middle of my one way main road (while neighbors were trying to pass no less). So, overall I'd say avoid, or get a firm estimate (and be firm yourself if they try to overcharge).
