Thanks Rad, I was thinking of grabbing some pro mix hp as a base? That should be fine right?

Should be perfect. All the pro mix's that I have used have been very clean. You might want to wear a dust mask when mixing. I have noticed if i don't my throat gets sore and I hack up dust particles. The peat moss is not good for our lungs. Works amazing as a grow medium though.

This is the recipe I found.

4 - 3.8 ft3 Pro mix BX + M
1 33lb. bag of Worm Castings
2.5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal
5 lbs. High Phosphorus Bat Guano
5 lbs. Blood Meal
2.5 lbs. Bone Meal
3 cups. Oyster Shell
3 cups. Kelp Meal
3 cups Alfalfa Meal
3/4 cup Epsom Salt
1 cup Dolomite Lime
2 cups Azomite
2 TBS powdered Humic Acid

I know its changed over the years and everyone has their own touches to add but is this a good starting point for me? Thanks again everyone for your help. I don't know if learning Hydro first was a benefit or set back because soils a whole different beast. If my plants look half as good as some of yours I know I'm on the right path. :joint::joint:

  • 8 large bags of a high-quality organic potting soil with coco fiber and mycorrhizae (i.e., your base soil)
  • 25 to 50 lbs of organic worm castings
  • 5 lbs steamed bone meal
  • 5 lbs Bloom bat guano
  • 5 lbs blood meal
  • 3 lbs rock phosphate
  • ¾ cup Epson salts
  • ½ cup sweet lime (dolomite)
  • ½ cup azomite (trace elements)
  • 2 tbsp powdered humic acid
This is what I like to use. For soil I like Fertilome Ultimate Potting Mix. It's very cheap but lacks coco and myco but I add seperate. Not enough perlite to my liking either. I add extra worm castings, epsom salt, humic acid, and perlite. I also add a little green sand, some vermiculite, Azos, coco, and a bag of General Hydroponics humus. Store in a bin and add some water. Get bins that you could keep on the side without the lid spilling and don't fill all the way. Every several days turn the bin or bins to keep everything mixed. I've used it right away without letting it sit and it did work but I think it works best to cure it for a few months.

Fertilome by itself is too weak imo as a base soil for plants before mixing it with the super soil. I would either just feed or mix the soil with Azos, a high nitrogen bat guano, and extra perlite. If I'm feeling lazy I'll just get a bag of the M3 dirt for base soil in early veg. Clean and works easy.

Changing careers and just waiting for the phone call and I know there will be a drug test. I'm not doing the synthetic urine stuff, I want to be clean and have a clear conscious and not be worried about anything, know what I mean? And I'm not handling it too good either, I'm so pissed off I can't smoke. It's killing me.

Yep I understand. Luckily no p tests for me. Few years ago I had stopped for ~4 months, went for an interview and still spiked the test. These days I'll just borrow a clean sample if I need to, not worth pausing my health, know what I mean :)?

I smoked for over 4 years daily and it took 55 days to get clean (home test kits from walmart) I'm on edge and just taking it one day at a time. Been really hard the past week. Sometimes I just wanna say "fuck it!" but I know I can't :(
