What to add?

Hello all, I am using LC's soilless mix #1 with 1 part coco 4 parts peat, 3 parts perlite, 2 parts EWC and dry amendment mix #1-1/2 cup Blood, 1 cup Bone, 1 cup Kelp, half cup greensand, with a half cup azomite and 2 cups glacial rock dust.

My Amazon Prime membership trial is coming to an end soon and so I want to make sure I have anything and everything beneficial.

as well as some High P guano? and Neem Meal to add to the next mix I make for more diversity, but I was wondering if there was anything else I should get that experts would recommend?

The sky is the limit becuSe I grow on a small scale so even the 5lb boxes last me a long time and the more diverse the amendments/minerals I have the longer they will last....gypsum, soft rock, crab meal, what would you add to the Mix #1 with Bone, Blood, and Kelp with Liquid Karma and molasses waterings? Thanks

Neem and crab. shouldn't need blood and bone if these are added.

insect frass?

Also Some dolo-Lime

Yeah I got dolo lime, sorry didn't put it up there's. I am going to get gypsum and add at 1 cup and add neem meal and alfalfa at 1/3 cup each per cubic foot to my current mix, should be outstanding I hope

i'd leave out the bovine stuff, replace with kelp meal, neem meal, insect frass, and/or rabbit or alpaca manure.
I also would recommend a different mineral lineup, greensand is good stuff, but unless you re-use your soil it's not doing much. it breaks down super super slowly. Basalt, glacial rock dust, etc would be better options
You are looking for an optimal media, i'd go with volcanic rock or pumice over perlite, as well as adding biochar for your aeration.
I like to use only insect meal, crab meal, neem meal, insect frass, kelp meal and that's it for my nutrients
I also have had good results from a more diverse humus source, meaning not only EWC but also leaf compost.
I do not use dolomite lime, the crab meal, biochar, oyster flour and shells help counter the acidity from the peat.

it's also crucial to have kelp MEAL as opposed to the extract, the meal is much much better as a soil ingredient.
the extract is more for teas

I'm no expert but;

Crab Meal, 1 cup per cubic foot. 2-4-0, plus Ca and Mg. With a high calcium to magnesium ratio. I think dolomite lime has the opposite ratio.

Also,I think kelp meal is awesome, and I usually use 2 cups per cubic feet of soil. Not a huge deal tho. You mentioned alfalfa. That's great stuff too.

As far as nutes, some alfalfa, kelp and a little molasses should take you through veg and early flower. Use less alfalfa and add a little of that guano you mentioned and you should have flowering covered too.

More compost or EWC can never hurt.

Good luck! Have fun. Be sure to reuse that soil.
