Organic Soil Mix. What are your thoughts

Ok guys after reading for weeks I have put together a soil mix, and would like to know what some of the experienced folks here think of it.

(5) Parts Jungle Growth top soil with fertilizer 0.16-0.06-0.08
(1) Parts composted cow manure 0.5-0.5-0.5
(4) Parts perlite

Each plant in a five gallon bucket

Mixed in each five gallons of soil is the following

(1) Cup bone meal 6-9-0
(½) Cup blood meal 12-0-0
(1) Cup Plant-Tone 5-3-3

I intend to have a total of nine plants under a 400w mh light during veg and will change over to a 400w hps for flower.

My intent is to give each plant ½ cup of water daily as a base and adjust the water as needed. I do not intend on giving any other fertilizers unless you guys think it is necessary.

Is this all sufficient or am I making major mistakes.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Im a newb on my first grow and ur mix looks awesome to me but Im pretty sure all those nutes in the soil from day one will be pretty much gone after about day 15 or so. I only say that from readings, not from experience at all.

your best bet would be to get over to the organic section of this forum and try to get subcool to take a look at your soil mix. from what ive seen that man is an organic genius!!!

Perlite isn't organic.

i use a organic mix that i airated just sifted it and put it n the pot then i waited for my lil seedling to sprout then from there waited 3 weeks before adding any nutes just bcuz the lil seedlings are super sensitive and can die easily from nutes at that age so check out sum more about organic soil and think about ur mix just a lil more just a thought
