i have recently started using a humus/manure mixture i get from the depot for $1 a 40lb/1cu bag and i add a 15lb bag of earthworm castings and 2 small bags of perlite
to that mix i add some subculture from general hydroponics and some mychorizzae tablets in the pots

here recently i have added some peruvian seabird guano 10-10-2 to the mix at 1cup
and i am getting some seaweed/kelp extract to add to it cause that is supposed to naturally have growth harmones and cheleted nutes and a few other good benefits

i keep on mixing it up alittle but this seems like its a good mix

and i have used it on freshly rooted clones with success

I always use 40% Organic Spagnum Peat Moss and 60% Vermiculite (you could use perlite instead of vermiculite)

That is a perfect mix IMHO as it is essentially sterile with no nutes (so you can precisely control what the plant gets without worrying about what was already in soil too), the peat moss holds a bit of water, and the verm or per provides excellent airation for the roots and eases drainage.

good luck and keep us updated bro.

Peace

If you use peat moss you must buffer its extreme acidity with lime. All commercial peat-based potting and garden soils are buffered in this manner.

good thing to know stinky. what pH is the peat moss at if it hasn't been buffered and about how much lime should one use?
