Boiling coco.....you've gotta be Fucking with me. Lmfao, ok. For the most part there is no wrong mix as long as you don't make it too hot. I have friend who grows with grocery store bought soil adds a little green sand and only uses liquid seaweed and molasses kills it.
I'm going to try your option 2 mix with Pro Mix soil, what size Perlite should I use Large or small have read on here some say go with the large sized Perlite.Not mine but I've been using it for a while, both supersoil and base with nutes.

my new soil mix
3.8 cf peat moss ($17)
a coco brick which i think breaks down to 2 cf ($5)
1 cf EWC ($10)
1 cf compost (free or $5)
1 cf alaskan humus ($10)
3 or 4 cf pumice ($12)
4 cups fox farm all purpose 5-5-5
4 cups organicare pure 6-6-6
4 cups organicare pure bloom
12 cups alfalfa meal
12 cups fish bone meal
12 cups humic acid ore
10 cups oyster shells
8 cups kelp meal
8 cups blood meal
6 cups soft rock phosphate/ rock phosphate
6 cups azomite
6 cups garden lime
also added 10 cups feather meal, 6 cups bulb food, and 6 cups greensand but gonna cut those out once i run out and hopefully add 10 cups neem seed meal once i order it.
i got this one cooking.. my last one was very similar to this one and is doing awesome, i just went light on the amendments so i went a little stronger on them this time to see if they can handle it. i know a lot of these ogs and chems im growing can handle it and want more so we'll see. i wanna eventually give em as much as i can without burning them and see if it helps or not. im constantly making soil i need some more kiddie pools!!
yeah i dont think ill ever buy a soil from fox farm again. too many bad experiences. although i still use their all purpose peace of mind fertilizer product with good results.. but i dont even like supporting them, might change that one out too hahaa.
thats why i dont like moonshine mans soil mix. looks like he was paid by fox farm to make that soil mix and promote it. one of the main reasons of making your own soil is to save money and his soil mix costs over $100. its actually not even really a soil mix. its just combining different soils haha. u can start from scratch with peat moss, ewc, compost, perlite and some amendments for about $6 a cubic foot. and i would think it would be better then anything fox farm has.
moo.cow mix is my mix and it's just basic dollar general soil but the key is to have that constant pH level at 5.5/6.0 you have to let it grow tomato's in it the 1st year in a 1foot by 1foot by 6inch high wooden box's or bigger box's your choosing,put it straight on the ground,then 2nd year pull that soil off the ground and the key is make sure you the 1st year that your tomato's are in a place where they have worm's where them worm's get in that 1st year's soil ,and put your soil in a bucket and you have moocow super dupper 6.0 mix
Boy did I ever fail when I used Promix. My friend uses it and his plants come out fantastic. I try the same method and nothing but slow growth and yellow leaves. Finally I gave up on it after 3 attempts. I have no idea what I was doing wrong. The only difference was he used his local water source and I used mine but that's enough of a difference to make a difference.
