currently I use peat/pearlite/organic soil/dolomite lime, I ammend with blood meal and bone meal and feed with Big Bud and Pure blend. I want to change over to more soil ammendments and get away from feeding with anything except water

I was thinking so far that I also want to upgrade the mix, I was thinking of changing my mix to peat/pearlite/soil/lime/blood meal/ bone meal/ humates, fulvic acid/ high P guano/kelp meal/ a Mycorrhizae innocuculant/blackstrap molassass

I'd also add the ammendments and then let the soil rest/cook for about a month before I needed it

is this just way overboard or a recipie for success?

i dont think its overboard, but i do think your plants will thanks you for feeding them throughout the cycle with compost teas and foliar sprays

Apartment growing doesn't lend itself well to tea's and foilar feeding unfortunately.

CE that new richer mix sounds nice and will lead to less fertilizing for sure.\

Most growers will agree that despite the amount of ammendments you add you'll need to fert with something a mid flowering to max their potential.
N is easy to have enough of in the soil that's why ammended veg mixes usually require no ferts depending on veg time.
P and K are another story, solid sources run out fast in flowering so a tea at some point will be necessary, appartment or not I'm sure making 1 tea in flowering won't be the end of the world just make it strong and time it right.

CE I'm in an Apt too, what I do is mix 2-3 Tbs of Jamac Bat and 2-3 Tbls of mollases in a gallon milk jug. This gives me 2 or 3 gallons of tea, once I dilute it in half or thirds with water. Stick a glade next to it. Hide it, it will be gone in 2 or 3 days. You could bubble some of the other stuff you have too, I'mn working my way to thier too, l like the choices of amendments. Reading up on Mycorrhizae, pretty interesting.
