Hello guys, ive read alot about organic and would like to make my next grow organic.What I need is a mix where I can veg for 1week and then go to flower for 8-10week without transplant. The only problem is that I cant find alot of stuff around here. Basicly here's what I got/can find:

Perlite
Anything Pro-mix(pro mix HP/BX)
Biomax Shrimp compost
Biomax seaweed compost
dolomite lime(really hard to find around here)
Blood Meal
Bone meal

So I was thinking of mixing promix HP with some shrimp compost, perlite and lime. I cant find EWC, alfala meal or any guano so its kinda a problem, but i think i can replace the EWC with the compost(EWC is for the humus right?!)
Im still unsure about alot of things.
Im currently growing in promix hp with perlite, but I want a better mix. It doesnt need to be 100% organic, if I can get a mix where I dont need to check my PH when I feed some PBP I'll be happy. I think I can find more compost like mushroom compost but im not sure.

Anyway if someone can give me some advice I would really appreciate. Ive read the sticky but I cant find most of the stuff I need.And if i order online the shipping charge are very high.

Sorry my english sux, im a frenchy :)

edit: I can also find alot of plant food, like food for roses, tomato. tree, flowers,muriate of potash(0-0-60
)

That's all you need except for home made compost, worm castings or mushroom compost.
Use the recipes in the sticky Organics for Beginners.

Why the mushrrom compost? I cant use the shrimp or the seaweed compost?

the shrimp compost is 1-1-1, 2% Ca.
 
You can find dried nutes with most of that stuff mixed in and some more, lot's of freedom in this area. Tons of sites online that cater to organic farming, a nice time to be alive and farm.

wow don't use the muriate of potash, unless it is in tiny tiny tiny amounts. Even then, wood ash would accomplish the same thing, in tiny tiny amounts.

its ok for the dried nute but I can only find forest compost, shrimp compost and seaweed compost. So can I use any of these?

I think forest compost is 1.5-1.9-0.9 and ph is 6.5

this company is making some really nifty concoctions for both synthetic and organic grows. They are a local Eugene, or company. Basically all the stuff you guys are mixing your self these dudes have it all in on nice cheap package. I just bought some of the buddah bloom for 16 bucks. Idk the size of the container, but its like 6-700ml
