first grow soil mix question

[jfatty78]

first off I have looked and didnt find what Im looking for. Im planing on using Ocean Forest Potting Soil, I have Perlite, Vermiculite and coco nut fibers. for nutes and ferts I have Worm Castings, Peruvian Seabird Guano, Mexican Bat Guano, Jamaican Bat Guano, Indonesian Bat Guano, Earth Juice Bloom, Earth Juice Catalyst, Earth Juice Grow, Earth Juice Microblast. I need to know what the right mix I need for my soil and how much nutes and ferts do I use for veg and flowering cycles. I know I will be fine for the first couple of weeks but after that I need help. Im planing on growing afghani and train wreck under 1000w lamp and using Co2.


thanks

I just use my judgement when mixing my perlite with my soil I get alot of white because drainage is very important.
I dont like coco it doesnt drain well.
As far as your nutes go each should have directions on how much to use and how often and what can be mixed with what.
For example, Some of my additive nutrients will say mix 1/2 tsp with 1 gallon of water or nutrient solution which is letting me know I can mix it with my other nutes.
Very few additives cant be added with nutrient solutions.
Always follow the directions on the nutes more is never better trust me.

IF this is your first grow. I would not get to fancy. It is fine to use a 80% soil / 20% perlite mix.

I also would stay away from the coco.. Many peopel have had over watering problems using the coco...

perlite is KEY!!! You may also want to put a 1/2 inch layer of perlite on the bottom of your POT as well.. This will help with drainage.
