What is an easy, simple to make soil, for my autos that I wont have to add nutes too?

Hello, I am trying to think of a recipe(organic or not I dont care) that will last a whole autoflowers life outdoors so I don't have to constantly come in with nutrients and only have to water. Does anyone have any ideas or can point me in the right direction? They are going to be put into the ground and also in large pots.

I put my Critical Jack and Red Poison Auto in 3 gallon Fabric pots. Bottom Half was Super Soil of Jamaican Bat Guano, Azomite, Kelp Meal, Dolomite lime, Dry Molasses and worm casting. They were outdoors and I never had to go feed them. Just bottle water whenever they needed.

1 part (store bought) Topsoil.
1 part Compost.
1 part Perlite.
1 part Composted Steer Manure.

This is the basic soil mix. Add a balanced, dry, meal based, fertilizer (organic or "organic based" such as FoxFarm's "Marine Cuisine" or Whitney Farm's "Organic - General Purpose") at about 1/2 strength, according to directions.

It is important that you "Up-pot" the plant several times - rather than just plopping it in a big container right off the bat!.

This mix should allow you to grow "Seed to Harvest", adding nothing but water. But if you like (I do), you can suppliment with Alaska fish emulsion (5-1-1) and/or "Mexican" Bat Guano Tea, during Veg -and- Alaska MorBloom fish emulsion (0-10-10) and/or "Indonesian" Bat Guano Tea, during Flower.

Looks heavy on nitrogen IMO. I would still add some dolo lime and azomite. Soil outdoors is rarely negligent of magnesium but a handful of Epsom salts won't hurt either

Yea! Sorry, I didn't mention the optional "Tea" is a weak Tea. And the lime is a "Gimme". Good call!

As for the Azomite and Epsom Salt, I've never used 'em (never needed 'em) - but like you said, "It wouldn't hurt!".

OK thanks guy I really appreciate the input! I am thinking ill buy a few bags of organic soil and perlite. To this ill add bone and blood meal. Probably gonna mix in a bunch of worm shit and quality compost also. I think this should do it hopefully.....if I have too ill give them a couple feedings of fish emulsion and mollasses. There autoflowers anyways so they wont nearly need the amount of nutes normal plants do.

I hope you let it cook for at least 3weeks to a month 6 weeks is best. You a be SORRY if you use Blood&Bone meal without cooking... Also not a good idea to use Blood & Bone meal outdoors
