All good. That being said, anything else you would recommend adding or taking away? Do the amounts of the amendments seem too little or too heavy?oh sorry I didn’t see the promix.

Awesome, appreciate the good info, sir!Depends on your grow style. I would go lighter and top dress through the season personally, but thats just me.
Rice hulls are a good substitute for the perlite with the additional benefit of providing a slow release silica.
Did you use this mix straight from seedling all the way through? With out adding other nutrients along the way?Here goes my soil mix
1 big bag of Fox Farn Ocean Forest
2 4lb bags of worm casings
1 pound bone meal
1 pound blood meal
3 cups epson salts
2 cups of dolomite lime
2 bags of perlite
Water well, mix well, let sit for at least 90 days prior to using. This is an organic mix and I never have to add any ferts during growing.
Explain :)youd be better off just getn Sunshine Advanced.
Hey everyone I've seen a couple threads with different soil mixes in them and I was thinking It might not be a bad idea to compile them into this thread. I'm also interested to see what mixes everyone is working with. So here goes this is my soil mix I've been messing around with lately.
Soil Mix:
3 cubic ft Master Nursery potting soil(peat based)(1.5 bags)
25lb Napa floor dry(diatomite)(1 bag)
.5 cubic ft Ancient Forest Humus(1 bag)
1 1/6 cup mykos(mychorhizae)
3.5 cups insect frass(2-2-2)
2.25 cups Neem Seed meal(5-1-2)
6oz rock phosphate(0-3-0)
9 oz azomite(0-0-.2)(Trace Minerals)
9oz fish bone meal(3-16-0)
2 cups Dolomite lime(Calcium/Magnesium)
:hi
I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing your recipe. I am very limited on funds and was wondering if you had a recipe that was simple and inexpensive. I do not have the means to buy all of those items.Hey everyone I've seen a couple threads with different soil mixes in them and I was thinking It might not be a bad idea to compile them into this thread.

I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing nuggets of great knowledge. After spending some time online and seeing the different prices on soil, I was just amazed!! I ended up getting Fox Farm Ocean Forest from a Hydro Store right up the street for $16.00 when Amazon wanted $34.00 Plus this might be the best part. They give away tea every Saturday, all I have to do is bring my jug!!!For the humus portion of your soil, scout around wooded areas for rotting felled logs and just scoop out the rotting pieces underneath. If you are lucky, you may snag some worms. As well, dried leaves that have been sitting out will have decomposed enough to use for compost. There is also comfrey and stinging nettle that can be added to your soil mix and/or made into teas for soil drench.
I am like you in that I don't have funds to spare so I use what's available outdoors. You may want to look up KNF or Korean Natural Farming. It will give you ideas on what you can use for plants. There is also Gil Carandang dubbed the unconventional farmer.
