Welcome. I've finally decided to do an outdoors spot this year despite being blanketed by clay across the region and unpredictable weather. This is the modified recipe I worked up but I know a few things are missing that I'm forgetting that I just can't think of. I'm making a store run in the next few days so this will give us all a chance to discuss what I'm missing before then. All help,is greatly appreciated. Let's see where the wind takes us...
Procurred:
3.5 cu. ft. compost
3.8 cu. ft. sphagnum peat moss
3.25 cu. ft. coco coir (1.75 CocoRox / 1.5 Coco)
2.0 cu. ft. perlite
1.75 cu. ft. worm castings
6 cups blood meal
6 cups kelp meal
6 cups crab shell (chunky, not powdered)
6 cups bat guano (high phosphorus)
6 cups bat guano (high nitrogen)
6 cups bone meal
6 cups rock phosphate
4 cups Gypsum
4 cups Garden Lime
6 Lbs Greensand
Still need:
Azomite
More Greensand

I've been feeding with compost teas once a week and plain water (8.0-8.5 outta the tap adjusted down to 6.5) between feedings. I have 20 girls that are going in the ground after this finishes the cook. After the first mix, Im not sure if I'm quite happy with the Perlite ratio as my test pot has been holding moisture longer than expected. When i dump everything out to stir it up and add in the final few things I was going to add another cu. Ft of perlite to it as well. Thoughts?
