so this is my first time mixing soil looking for any advice. so far i have mixed 6 parts [3-1 mix] from local nursery which consist of peat , compost , and cow manure maybe black earth as well 2 parts perlite 2 parts promix hp 1.5 parts worm castings i mixed together and used on my seeds so far so good , then i planed on mixing a 3 to 1 ratio of gaiai green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 in the remaing soil for my 5 gal. buckets which will be their final home. and then top dress as needed , i also fucked up and bought some cal mag that is not organic but says you can use on soil grows . i would like to keep this grow organic

Your choice of worm castings and perlite were also an excellent move....
