"cooking soil" should you stir it ever so many days?

Just like the title says, should you mix it and turn it every so many days?

I am currently "cooking" the following>>

Happy Frog
Earthworm Castings
Perlite
Bat guano
Blood meal
Bone Meal
Mykos
Dolomite

I have a similar mix. I water it, mix it and let it sit for a month. I stir ever 7 to 10 days.

Works great for me. I put in 5 gallon pots and top with potting soil, and put 3 week old veg plants, and it lasts perfectly until 8 weeks of flower.

You could probably go up to 20 gallon bags with the mix with similar timeline results.

Remember that the first 24 days of your plants life should be in potting soil, you will burn your plants if you put in this soil mix that early. Wait until they have 4 or 5 nodes. These plants can feed themselves for the first 3 weeks.

sounds about right. remember to use RO water when possible. if you don't have access, and are using tap water, make sure it's not soft and remember to ph balance to about 6.8 or so.
