this is my first outdoor attempt so im doing alot of research.

i was wondering if this work work well as a soilless mix?

equal amounts of potting soil, perlite, vermiculite, and coco. with a few handfulls of hydroton in there to.

i am using 6oz compost tea bags brewed in 5 gal's of water, the tea is a blend of worm castings and koi fish fertilizer blended by mother earth.

 was also going to throw a bit of dolomite lime in there to help ph if i need to. or do i not need to worry when using tea's and worm castings?
all thrown into a 5 gallon grow bag.

im in BC and we are suppose to get a dry season this year.

i am also going to add some fossilized bat guano as it just adds so many good things to the plant in both tea and soil forms. and maybe some dried sea kelp too.

I think everyone hates that idea. Soiless mixes are specifically for auto watering systems. Normally not for outdoor use.

50% organic compost
25% organic worm castings
15% coarse sand
10% perlite

Thats what gave me the best results for last years outdoor grow. I got very little yellowing during flowering.

Why don't you research SubCool's Super Soil or, LC's Soiless Mix #1&#2?

These are tried and true and most importantly, work.:weed:

Quit trying to re invent the wheel after a couple of bowls.:o
