)))))))))gonna be honest this topic is covered all over this place and gets reposted a bunch..
every one is going to have their fav's (some are fox farm sub soil or something etc..)
I prefer composted reused soil from each year I used super bloom last year and will be doing it again.. I dont use much veg nutes as the composted soil does a pretty good job..
pic of a bubba kush I had last year using reused soil + composted and super bloom
(super bloom is about $14.00 lowes home depot etc..)

I've found that regardless the "name" given, it comes down to chemistry, N-P-K is what most {if not all plant life} requires in order to survive so if you're giving them those chemicals in a organic form or in a more potent and direct form as in super bloom, the plants really don't give a shit...but care and understanding is the difference between the two fields of thought and the results can been seen for both parties.
Soil was reused from the 2011-2012 grow I added perlite and added in some more manure added a bit of time release veg nutes (specifically for tomatoes.. forgot the name?) and then once I see the flowers I will add 1/2 ratio superbloom.
(I may add more then 1/2 this year to compare yields to last years too.)
this year I am testing yields on LST-SCROG-SuperCropping-and potsy turvey...

I use (getting my flame suit ready ) Miracle grow organic garden soil. It's cheap, and I dont have to add anything to it besides my nutes.
For nutes...
veg - I use the high nitrogen bat/peruvian sea bird guano, I'll take 1/4lb and top dress it into the soil. Then, once a week, I mix fox farms grow big at triple strength, and feed with a gallon of that.
Bud- I use the high phosphorus guano, same method as above, added once every 3 weeks to a month, and fox farms big bloom once a week, also mixed at triple strength.

as far as soil and nutrients goes you want to use something that has all three main nutrient groups and isn't synthetic. Primary nutrients- Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium.. Secondary nutrients- calcium, magnesium, sulfur.. micronutrients are the third and are not as important but surely help in metabolizing and helping your soil health and what not. I use General Organics Biothrive grow and bloom for main nutrients, my water has calcium in it and sometimes I like to add a little Epsom salt. as for micronutrients I use Spray-n-grow. works amazing. but you should only feed your plant nutrients if it needs it, because your soil should have plenty, hope this helps
