No till receipe question

Hey everyone. I'm starting a new grow and am doing no till this time around. I made my mix @ 1:1:1 peat,lava rock, compost or at least I thought.... When I did my calculations I used 3.8 cu ft bails for my peat moss but didnt realize that 3.8 fluffs out to about 6 cu ft. Is this going to be an issue or should I be fine?

Not going to kill anything but you might get a little slower growth due to less oxygen in the root zone and it will take longer to dry out that's about it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just going to do it the right way and get more rock and compost. I was trying to be lazy and not have to take everything back outside and dump it out and blah blah blah. I need stuff to go smoothly from here on out no sense in cutting corners.

Well no especially with no till. Once it’s setup and properly maintained it’ll be good for year to come.

You are better off mixing aeration in beforehand for sure tough one to get in after the soil is mixed especially a no till/ living soil that could be going for years maybe even a decade. So mixing that soil should be done with great care. I like to use a cement mixer to mix up my soils really well , have a cheap harbor freight one.
