My first time is like 3/4 Black Gold Potting Mix and a 1/4 Botanicare Soilless Aeration Mix (basically coco and perlite)

the miracle grow organic i am using seems to be doing good but is there any thing i should add to it like perlite or worm castings ? Should i use the same soil to flower with or something different?

if your not growing outside guano is useless it takes up to a year before it becomes available to your plants

Ummm I've never heard that, where did that come from? Guano works fine as is, how do you think people make their organic teas and feed their plants? If it didn't work no one would use it and plants would severely under fed. It's not a matter of composting either, from what I understand it's super old and they use fossilized guano.

im just saying when you put it in the soil its not going to be available to your plants until some time thats why people use it in teas so it can be use up by the plant immediately. thats why the sell liquid guano now

I use the worm casting in the veg soil only/it's a personal choice of mine-the theory is that the worm castings give off slow nitrogen so you really don't need it that much in flowering(my flowering nutes have plenty of nitrogen----get the guano---I love to mix a little in the bottom of my pots with the soil---I also add Bat Juice every other watering. When the roots hit that guano in the bottom they go ape-shit crazy, they get a supercharge of phos week 4 to 6.

I couldnt get the worm castings or bat guano so i made my own:
Using this mixture gives you a ratio of this :
52% potting mix
23% peat moss
5% perlite
10% sand
5% blood meal
5% bulb tone fertilizer
------------------------------
100% organic mix
