does this sound right?

22 gallon peat,14 gallon perlite,8.5 gallon ewc,3 cups lime for basic mix...add to that,45 tbsp blood meal,90 tbsp bone meal,45 tbsp kelp meal......then throw some humic acid,fish/seaweed,and molasses in the container and let it cook for a month or two...what do ye think?

Sounds good to me...I'm not sure on the molasses though...everything I've read says during flowering with that.

I'm far from an expert though...so if someone else uses molasses in their mix maybe they could comment.

I feed with molasses in both veg and flower.

I usually let my mix which is very similar to yours (except using coco coir) cook for 2 weeks before the ph is stable and the nutes are available. I turn it every 2 days and make sure I keep it wet. You didn't specify, so I wanted to mention that you should be using dolomite lime (I'm not trying to be condescending, I'd just rather give too much information instead of making assumptions).

I wet it the first time with 1Tbsp per gallon of Liquid Karma. After that I make sure it doesn't dry out with just pH'd water. I keep turning every other day and she cooks up a storm on her own without any other amendments

Best of luck!
