Hi man.

Sounds already pretty good.

Try using a bunch of Mycorrhizal fungi. They really help a lot. Also some beneficial bacteria to start up your living soil would be nice to see.

You can save money by not adding liquid fertz. Just make sure you check your pH range of the soil, and your EC values before you start. Also check with different pH's of the water you tend to give those ladies.

Check for absorption capacity and air capacity of your soil. You don't want to get it to hold a lot of water in all places. That way you can get bugs a lot faster and root/stem rot etc.
Perhaps you can find some clay or loam to mix in? Clay is very good for producing big plants and big nugs.

Ow yeah, almost forgot (that's the thing when medicating...) : use some lime (Ca 2+) to make sure the pH is buffered.

Or check some recipes here at ICmag

Hope it helps!
