Trying new soil, help needed

Whats up everybody. I'm about to start a new grow and I've been wanting to work on a new soil mix. I've been reading posts for the last hour and just can't find exactly what I'm looking for. This is kinda what I have in mind. Equal parts of Roots Organic soil, coco, and worm castings. Hefty scoop of perlite. A few handfuls of high p guano, high n guano, epsom salts, and lime. Later on to be fed with some organic teas. I'm just wondering if this combination sounds good, bad, horrible, whatever. Maybe I need to add something, take away, change ratios? I wanna know what you all think. All input is greatly appreciated.:weed:

looks good bro, be careful not to burn your baby girls with the guano.

i use nutrientless soil (well a little worm castings for N) then i ease in to nutrients and add them as my plants need them

Damn. Kinda disappointing nobody else jumped in on this. I was really hoping for alot of different opinions before I went to the grow shop today. I guess you gotta offer +rep to make anyone give a shit. Oh well.

Here is a good mix that I found online. You will need to of course adjust the the ratios like said but doing the math should be easy. Just divide into parts.

1 soil mix (3.8 cu ft)
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source
3-4 cups dolmite lime -calcium source & pH buffering
1 tsp fritted trace elements
4 cups kelp meal.
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings

- Mix thoroughly, moisten, and let sit 1-2 weeks before use.

That looks like a pretty spicy meatball. Is that mix to be used straight up or cut with base soil? Thanks for the input
