Help with a supersoil

I was wondering if I could get help with a supersoil. I have been reading a bunch and come up with a recipe that I like with a few minor tweaks due to not having certain product ect..
SLAUSON SUPER SOIL (i put together a soil mix based off of a couple other ones ive done, just took the pieces from each one that i liked)

one bail pro mix bx (3.8 cf) 70% peat moss 30% perlite
one bag coco coir (1.7)
or one bail of canadian peat moss (3.8cf) one bag of coco coir (1.7cf) and a bag of perlite (1.7cf) instead of the promix
two smaller bags of earthworm castings (1.7)
1 small bag of pumice
7 cups ff peace of mind or organicare pure
2.5 cups fast acting pelletized lime
1.25 cups blood meal
1.25 cups feather meal
5 cups fish bone meal
2.5 cups bulb food
1.25 cups soft rock phosphate
2.5 cups kelp meal
5 cups alfalfa meal
12 cups steer manure

and if you can find these and want to add some extras then these are perfect but i dont find them all mandatory.

2.5 cups greensand
5 cups oyster shells
2.5 cups dolomite lime
2.5 cups gypsum
2.5 cups azomite
2.5 cups epsom salts
5 cups humic acid ore
1 cup high nitrogen bat guano

sprinkle mykos at the bottom of the root hole in each pot

let cook for 20-30 days or more. water with chlorine free water and turn every day to every few days. cooks faster in the sun. fills up a big kiddie pool. no nutes necessary, just water and a few AACT's. once at beginning of veg and once at at beginning of flower or every third watering. teas have ewc, alaskan humus, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, seaweed extract, fish hydrosylate, humic acid, molasses


Currently I have Canadian Peat Moss (3.8cf), FFOF (2.55cf)
Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Rock Phosphate, Greensand, Epsom salt, FF Peace of Mind, Mykos, Bat Guano,
I have some Azomite, Alfalfa meal, kelp meal, Dolomite lime on the way.

Does this seem like it would be a good mix. I have never fixed up a super soil before and would love to start it up. I have 2 55gallon drums I got and plan on using those to cook the soil. I know the FFOF has some amendments already in it so I will probably not add as much. Would I need the palletized lime if I'm adding dolomite? Would I need the coco coir, I am not using the Pro Mix BX as there is none around me.

So are u looking for super soil or a organic living soil there is a difference! Super soil is more for a just add palin water! Where as your rols is using compost teas, cocnut water, and other types of "feeding the soil" bc in your msgs I was inder the inpression your were lookong for a rols recipie!

Yea I am looking for a rols recipe. That's the what the one listed is I'm pretty sure. He feeds with AACT's and I plan to as well.
Thats how i do mine ive changed over the years as ive learned more! Aact and seed sprout teas, and some coconut and aloe feedins! It feeds the soil and makes life easy! If you like to read and learn, a few books that are worth 10 times the amount they cost!

Jeff somebody teaming with microbes
Same guy teaming with fungi

And one buy the the rev called true living organics

Also blood meal and feather meal together is like over kill! I personally would also leave out the dolomite lime and Epsom salts! But each person will tell you a different way to do it! But ive heard bad things about those few amendments even tho i own them i dont use them anymore!
Hopefully some more ppl can chime in and give some more information I'm still learning myself!

To explain it a tad more I don't use dolomite lime anymore bc I use gypsum and oyster shell they cover the pH and have good source of calcium! Plus I was told dolomite take a long time to break down! And Like u told me your mix is already good on nitrogen, as is mine, plus a lot of my amendments have a good source of nitrogen already so no need for any blood or feather meal! Other than that looks like a pretty solid mix to start with! Over time you will add and remove things depending on the strains your grow and what each one favors! ( for example Some strains like more nitrogen then others) good luck hope I was able to help in some way!

Ok this is what I have so far
Spagnum Canadian Peat Moss (3cuft)
Fox Farm Ocean Forrest Unused (.75cuft)
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Partial grow (.75cuft)
Earthworm Castings (.5cuft)
Perilite (and what is in the ocean forest
5 Cubic Foot of base

Per cubic foot

2/3c. Alfalfa Meal (3 1/3c.)
1/2c. Kelp Meal (2 1/2c.)
2/3c. Fish Bone Meal (3 1/3c.)
1/2c. Bat Guano (2 1/2c.)

2/3c.Rock Phosphate (3 1/3c.)
2/3c. Greensand (3 1/3c.)
2/3c. Azomite (3 1/3c.)

I need more Potassium so I may go grab some langbeinite and do 1/2 cup per cuft

The fox farm is high in nitrogen and already has the oyster shell and the dolomite lime so I probably wont add any of that. It also has EWC and Guano and such. Would adding some ground oatmeal and mycorrhizae to the mix be good? I know it says to sprinkle some Mykos at the bottom of the pot but I have read that people put it in their soils as well.

It's looks good u got a Lil bit of everything! And I also use azos and mykos but only sprinkled on the roots I don't add it my soil bc the everything gets expensive lol! And teas are great there is so many you kinds you can make!

Awesome I will try it out and let it sit for a month or so. I have 2 photoperiod plants in flower right now, Week 4, So by the time they finish this soil should be ready to go for the next round.
I am going to be doing autoflowers next. Should I start them in something else or would starting them in this be fine?

With autos I was always told to start in their ending pot! But to be honest I hate autos! The only reason their faster is bc the pretty much skip the veg! And if you have any problems in the beginning you yield will be shit!!!

Yea I just wanted to try them out. I have a bunch more photoperiod seeds. I have just never grown an auto and thought it would be cool. But I have definitely read they can be a pain, especially for less experienced people.
