So the time has come to start stepping away from the bottle and get into organic soils. I have some new beans on the way thanks to all the Christmas specials, I would like to do them up right with organic soils and teas. I'm hoping the fine people of IC can help me build an organic soil with what i have. If there something essential missing from what i have there's no problem getting it if need be.
Originally i was going to build subs supersoil. I bought a kit to make 100 gallon batch I just don't have the proper facilities to do this big of a batch. I would like to be able to make small batches
(5 GALLONS) at a time i just cant be doing this with bails and bags.
Some of the complaints of the super soil is that it's to hot,Not enough K ,and doesn't last all the way through the grow. Also you have to fill the bucket half way with super soil,add a buffer layer of regular soil ,then fill the rest of the way with regular soil.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to be able to add to the mix i all ready use if possible.
I basically mix by volume of a 5"x6" pot which breaks down to
roughly half Happy Frog (20 cups) , Half Sunshine mix #4 (24 cups) perlite(9 cups) EWC(8 cups) 3 tbsp dolomite and 2 tbsp calcium carb lime.

Here is what i have on hand
Happy frog
sunshine mix #4
EWC
dolomite and calcium carb lime
5 lb. box Steamed Bone Meal 3-15-0
5 lb. box Bat Guano 0-7-0
5 lb. box Blood meal 12-0-0
4 lb. bottle Epsom salts
100 grams Powdered Humic Acid
Granular Endomycorrhizal 2 ounce package
MicroFlora Inoculant 2 Ounce Package
Colloidal Phosphate and Calcium 1 lb. bag
Glacial Rock Dust 1 lb. bag
Azomite Powder 1 lb. bag
3 lb. kelp meal 0-0-1.5
3 lb. fish meal 4-0-0
3 lb bone meal 1-15-0
3 lb alfalfa 2-0-0
2.2 lb seabird guano 12-11-2
hopefully that's enough to get me started. After skipping through the soils thread most all are done on a much larger scale.

Again I'd like to be able to do this in 5 GALLON buckets at a time.
I have other things too like budswel,liquid karma,earth juice meta-k,b1 red and green ect if they need a little boost during the grow.
Any help as to how much of what i can add to my mix is greatly appreciated. I hoping the organic soil gurus will be willing to help me out. Thank you.
