top soil, humus, compost, and perlite/sand. seedlings just need topsoil/perlite no nutrients

horticultural mollasses can be used at all times and stages
high nitrogen for veg, fish emulsion or hydrolized fish
high phophorous for flower,
seaweed/kelp meal or liquid can be used for most feedings(good for immune system and had natural vitamins and growth hormones)
compost tea can be used at all stages of life
