super soil question

Hiya

So, I'm gonna whip together some ingredients, then dampen, warm.. stir..etc. for 6 weeks. 25-30 gal
The base medium is Promix BX and perlite. Adding ewc, compost..

How much in tablespoons/cups etc of each should I add?


Down to Earth ferts:
Fish bone meal 4-12-60
Blood meal 12-0-0
Dolomite lime
Rock phosphate 0-3-0
Kelp meal 1-.01-2
Langbeinite 0-0-22

Plus:
Bio-Ag Ful-humix
Mykos
Epsom salt

There are lots of recipes out there but I'd omit the blood meal and use some other high nitrogen amendment.

I don't need a recipe per se, I need to know the quantities of how much to add of the above ingredients.. for a 30 gal batch

and I'm sure blood meal is fine in a pinch

3 cups max per cuft =7.5 gallons.
4 cups rock dust. “. “
I’d go light on domo lime. Promix has already

Blood and bone meals are hard to judge and should be used sparingly.

as @myke said 3 cups npk inputs. But I would NEVER use 3 cups of the amendments you have listed in any form. Maybe 1/2 cup each and add kelp/neem/alfalfa/crab/insect frass/ instead to make up the other 2 cups per cf.
or just getting a base nutrient like down to earth vegan mix… or Gaia green all purpose or similar product to cut the Hotness of bone and blood meal in your nutrient regiment.

but you also missing minerals. You need basalt or rock dust/ greensand/ azomite or something to mineralize your soil and increase CEC. I would also add oyster and gypsum as opposed to Dolomite

I use a lot of these nutes, your NPK value look off compared to mine there not even close.
for example:
sulphate of potash is 0.0.48
bonemeal 3.9.0
Fish bone meal should be something like 4.12.0, your is 4.12.60

I mix the nutes up to get a good npk value
for example, one plant has some purple on the leaves, this is a phosphorus deficiency 45 days in flower (12/12) water the plants this morning


this is the food for 6 plants (total)
so I mixed up 6tbsp fish blood and bone 4.7.4 (all-round good plant food)
and 2tbsp of seaweed meal(with add plant food) 3.6 4.8 4.1 (lots of trace nutes)
mixed it up in some sand and top dressed the plants the NPK value worked out 3.8 6.3 4 (NPK)

gave them 1ltr of water each so the roots start getting the phosphorus

in veg you want 5.5.5 (npk)
and early flower 4.6.7(npk)
late flower 3.6.7 (npk)

in a 30ltr pot,
Fish bone meal 4-12-60 the Potassium is really high at 60, 2tsp
Kelp meal 1-.01-2 all very low NPK you could give each pot 4 tbsp

Blood meal 12-0-0 don't think this would be any good

All good.. just another stoner overthink after some internet research situation

Maybe, just trying to keep my plants healthy on a low budget, unless I am careful my leaves start going yellow week 5-6 in flower, purple stems etc
Having a good understanding of NPK and how they affect the plants goes a long way.
That's without talking about how the environment and light intensity can affect the uptake of food.

I remember making when making soil for 1 pot at a time seemed like a chore. Now I'm adding 30lbs of rock dust 15 lbs of alfalfa, ect.. jeez, WTF happend. Lol
