So I just made about 13.5 cu.ft. of Self Branded "TKO's Super Soil" ( T.K.O. are my Initials). In this mix I'll be using the following for my base soil mix:
Two (3 cu. ft.) bags of Roots Organics 707, approx. (6 cu.ft.)
Two new bags of (1.5 cu.ft.) Roots Green Fields approx. (3 cf),
One 1.5 cu. ft. bag of Fox Farms Ocean Forest,
One 2 cu.ft. bag of Fox Farms Happy frog,
.75 cu.ft. of Roots Organics Coco Palms,
One Large Bag of #4 Thick and Chunky Mother Earth Perlite,
A single .5 cu.ft. bag of General Organics Ancient Forest (Alaska Humus),
and approx 15L of Hydroton. (clay pebbles)
3/4's of a Bag of Roots Organics Big Worm EWC (?-?-?) approx. 30lbs.
one 15 lb bag of Wiggle Worm (1-0-0)

I've amended this to the soil already:
6 lbs Bat Guano (0-7-0) Budswell Super Bat
4 lbs Steamed Bone Meal (3-16-0) Happy Frog
2.5 lbs Fish Bone Meal (3-18-0) Dr. Earth
5 lbs Blood Meal (12-0-0) Miricle Grow -1lb and 4 lbs Down to Earth
3 lbs Rock Phosphate (0-3-0) Epsoma
1/2 cup Epsom Salt from Local Dollar store
1 Oz. ( 2 tbsp.) of Powdered Humic Acid (0-0-4) Raw brand
1.5 lbs. Kelp Meal (.6‑.5‑2.5) Dr. Earth
1.5 lbs Neem Seed Meal (6-1-2) Down to Earth
2 cups (approx. 1 lb.) Oyster Shell Ground Flour (35% ca) Down to Earth
2 cups (approx. 1 lb.) Azomite (0-0-0.2) Down to Earth
1 cup Rare Earth (?-?-?) General Hydroponics
1 cup Glacial rock dust (?-?-?) unknown brand
3/4 cup Granulated Dolomite Lime (22%ca, 11% mag) Grow More Brand


Mixed and re-mixed, then Watered in with 6 gallons of undiluted Progress Earth Tea. I Plan to incubate indoor's around 70-85 degrees stirring once weekly for approximately 8 - 10 weeks adding water about half way through, but only if needed.
Anything else I should have added, or left out???
What do you guys think of the mix?

My previous super soil batch is about cooked!!! Very excited 9 weeks on 10/3/15 !!! Time for a new batch before winter sets in and cold weather slows down and prohibits the de-composition or "cooking" process from happening. Here's my newest tweaking of tko's super soil!image.jpeg

You're way light on the lime. You should have at least 1cup/cf. Either the oyster shell flour or the dolomite, or a combination of the two. Like, 14 cups total.

Don't need to have pH problems later in the grow and that's a pretty hot mix. But should be fine once limed properly.

Good to hear wet, I've been thinking about upping the dolo actually. Know anywhere with a soil amendment calculator for mixing super soil? Or any apps that might help me balance things a little better? If not we should make that app!

I would add gypsum, langbeinite, more neem meal, and drop the d-lime, and Epsom.
personally.
Nothing wrong with that mix though, i'd just tweak it a lil...
OH, and if re-using (you obviously are)
ditch the azomite...
the ph in the compost process, and the humic acids will break the aluminum down.
