Help with soil mix!!

sup ppl so soil around my country sucks.. but i found a delear that has sunshine mix #8 and finally perlite too... so would that mix with some pelican guano, perlite and finally maybe potting soil to fill around. would u think it will be ok? here is the ingredientes of sunshine mix #8

Formulated with Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, coarse perlite & vermiculite, starter nutrient charge (with Gypsum) and dolomitic limestone.

Someone?? ?????

It really depends on the nutrient values in the soil and the guano. You haven't listed them, so I assume that you don't know. I'm sure you could dig them up. If you do think about re-posting somewhere else as the subject matter has little to do with advanced cannabis cultivation. It's not that people don't want to help out, it's just that we all had to go through the proper channels to learn. For the first year I was on this site I didn't ever log in. I was reading about growing for over a year, so by the time I started I knew what I was doing. Advanced cultivation is a place for people to discuss techniques that got them substantial yield, wanted results that are hard to attain at a specific stage of growth, or to debunk false information spread by people who don't know what they are really doing.

I would check out some other parts of the forum, you will find plenty of people using Sunshine #8 or something similar like promix.

With that said if you have the internet it's assumed that you could order granular nutrients, rounded vegging nutrients capable, with only 1 application, of feeding your plant for weeks at a time. They have flowering nutrients of a very similar nature as well. Don't give up! Just don't post this shit in advanced marijuana cultivation any more.

Hope this helps,

should be alright as long as pH is good, and you're going to add nutrients

Yeah im adding nutes normally

the more complex you make your blend with organics the better. composted manure, if you can find it is always a good thing to have in your soil. home brewed compost from plant based food scraps (meats etc. encourage parasites) is even better. a little bit of earthworm castings never hurts either.

if you just start with a good soil to begin with in a large enough container and keep it properly watered, your plants will do all of the hard work for you. you can grow weed in straight up clay dirt. it tastes freakin' nasty and gives you a headache, but it shows just how hardy the plant can be. giving them a more complex mix just makes them "happier" i think, like they're at an all you can eat buffet. more than one grower has just used foxfarm right out of the bag as/is.

i like using organic grow and bloom formulas too. as you just use a tiny amount every couple weeks, those $20 or more bottles could almost last a lifetime. if there ever is a nute problem, your leaves will tell you. if you're all green, it's all good.

use the sunshine mix with the perlite and add compost or worm shit instead of potting soil. also add lime, and yes the guano would be good but i cant give you advice on ratios cause i have no idea what it is you have. look up, lc's soilless mix and that willl give you a good place to start.
