Not really. My big thing lately is trying not to add anything but water, by mixing in dry ferts in advance.
Mix is basic like:
2 parts potting soil
2 parts vermiculite
2 parts perlite
1 part casings
and just dry micronized poop and rocks.
Round 2 in this mix.

Sure bro. I used to use innoculants and think I might have last round in this soil, but I don't think they really need to be added.
I'm not real big on telling anyone they specifically 'need this or need that', most of the 'soil beasties' (as I like to call them) are already in your ingredients and base soil. I buy everything I use from my local nursery and don't use any liquid fertizers at all other than molasses. I'm not saying there aren't fabulous products out there, I'm just a cheap bastard. I think it's more important myself to just setup their environment and try and leave them alone, I like smaller pots and really aerated soil....basically passive hydro or hand watered hydro I guess. I want to move to amended coco, and have been doing so slowly. I want to thank Kosmo for posting his mix and those amazing pix also, might get me off my ass and looking for some bokashi and coco.

I listed all the ingredients in the post just above yours.
After adding the dry amendments to the medium mix(coco,soil,perlite,wormcastings) I brewed a Tea of Wormcastings, Blackstrap molasses & Humic/Fulvic acid. Using the brewed tea, watered the medium mix. After 48hrs after watering, you can start to see the results. Fresh medium mixes i "cook" the mix, keep it moist n wet with teas up to 3-4 weeks before planting freshly rooted cuts.

sure,_____________________________________________________
Handful of locally produced or homemade Wormcastings+2tbsp Blackstrap Molasses+5tsp Humic Acid(Fulvic Acid during flowering) added to 3gallons of RO water, & brewed @78f for 36-47hrs. I normally use 4x4 beds, it will take anywhere between 3-5gallons to water a whole bed. So after brewing i add 1-2gallons RO water to the finished 3gal tea. Making 4-5gallons, enough to water the bed. Every few weeks i;ll toss in some Bokashi into the wormbin, and the finished wormcastings.
I also do some foliar teas the first 3 weeks of flowering, & after the 2nd week of veg
I want to try something similar, if u have some bud pics i would love to see some...
thanks for all the information bout the tea.
