Now I take no credit for this mix I learned it from c.c. . I have just improved upon it and my results are blowing me away so much I wanted to share with the nerds out there.
1x 3.0 cu ft bale of peat moss no perlite or limestone fluffs out to approx 4.0 cu ft.
4 cu ft of aeration rice hulls or growstones. I prefer to not use perlite.
3 cu ft of high grade worm castings
.5 cu ft of composted virgin forest material
.5 cu ft of oly mountain fish compost
48 cups of mineral rock dust
6 cups of neem or kranja seed meal
6 cups of kelp meal
6 cups of crustation meal
2lbs of growkashi
.5 cu ft of bio char.

I am 3 weeks into curing my first harvest. I am going to cook a SS while I finish second harvest, for the late fall.

I am very interested in organics, have done a good amount of reading especially on SS recipes. There is not much locally I can find so must buy it all online. You are happy with this recipe? They all seem quite similar, just little odds and ends changed up huh?

This sounds dandy. Resin, do you have a comprehensive list of the retailers that you prefer to use for these items and their brands mayhaps? Thanks in advance.

Buildasoil.com is a good place to start. It's funny looking back at this thread because while this recipe does work very well it is a bit expensive and time consuming to mix up but it is simple to use and only requires a top dressing of fresh soil on day 7 of flower and it is water only. I made this mix because I wanted to stop using shit aka bat guano in my mix along with McDonald's cow blood meal and bone meal in my mix.

I have since tippled the size of my garden and massively upgraded my grow environment so much so that this mix has no chance of finishing plants properly even with tea's and top dressings. I guess all the gavita's on 1150w mode and proper temp and co2 will make the plants metabolism so fast that organic soil has no chance to keep up plus I like to grow trees in 10 gallon pots 4'-5' tall and 3-3.5' in Dia. I now use veg+bloom Dirty formula in promix bx.

If you keep the plants relatively small under 3' when finishing you will be fine.

Why not just put them in a bigger container? I spread 2 plants over a 3x3 and I used to use 10 gallon pots. They'd never finish right, upped it to 15 and they do just fine

You have to remember my room is scientifically dialed in. Perfect vapor pressure deficit, gavita de lights on 1150w mode, 1300 ppm feedings, and 1500ppm of co2. I have yet to find any organic soil or nutrient regimen that can even remotely keep up. I tried everything including running 100%ss. If you grow under de lighting soil isnt going to cut it. And with the heavy metals testing proposed in my state plants grown using guanos is not going to pass that test.

This is your problem, using an organic soil-less mix filled with blood/bone meals and guano will inevitably only get you to a certain point. Especially using subcool's dumbass recipe.
You apparently didn't read post #4 of this thread. I now used veg+bloom in promix bruh

Have you grown extremely hard to grow strains that enjoy dry conditions in this mix? My flagship strain doesn't like to be wet and the peat moss worries me slightly so I am wondering would you hold the peat moss out of this mix for such strains? I am brand new to organic soil growing, I am basically a fetus.
