[1ST GROW] SOILMIX INDOOR

Hello all! I'm French and new to this forum, excuse my english :) So, I'm here to present you my first indoor project using the famous soilmix by sir subcool! As I said, it is my first grow so I will need you guys, professional growers, to give me some advices and recomandations... I will start by giving you the details of my install:

- Dark Room II 120 (120x120x200cm)
- Electronic Ballast by Lumatek NXE 600W
- Carbon Active Activated Filter
- Adjust-A-Wings - AVENGER (Reflector)
- Sunmaster 600W MH light bulb
- Lightbulb Philips Son-T Pia 600W
- LTI Fan 160mm
- G-Systems digital fan controller for climate

And I will be using the soilmix by subcool as said above, I adjusted the quantities as I will be using 6 pots of 25L for the and 6 pots of 6L for the :

- 20L of BioBizz Light-Mix
- 60L of organic potting soil with coco and Mycorrhizae
- 2.5kg à 5.5kg of organic worm castings [http://goo.gl/GU4EX]
- 500g of Fish Bone Meal 6-16-0 (3-16-0) [http://goo.gl/zzOHD]
- 500g of Bat guano 1-10-1 (0-5-0) [http://goo.gl/6iiR1]
- 500g of Blood meal 13-0-0 (12-0-0) [http://goo.gl/ptlqt]
- 45ml of Epsom salt
- ¼ Cup of Sweet lime (Dolomite)
- 25ml of Azomite (Trace element) [http://goo.gl/Ijo0e / http://goo.gl/CEjuE]
- 7,5ml of powdered Humic acid (mine is liquid) [http://goo.gl/V1vK6 / http://goo.gl/87ju9]

I've added pictures of each item I know it's in French but we never if anybody speaks French here might can translate...

First of all, I couldn't find any soilmix with coco and myco in growshops so I had to go to one garden shop and found one but I don't know if it is really good for my future babies, is it? The pH is at 7 is that a real problem? Here you can find pictures of the bag:

As the products I found here locally are not exactly the same as the ones used by sir subcool so maybe I will have to modify the dosage for certain ingredients?

- The bat guano being used by subcool has a npk of 0-5-0 and mine has 1-10-1, does that mean that I will have to put half of the dosage? (500g/2)
- The humic acid of subcool is in powder, mine is liquid, can someone help me establishing one perfect dosage?
- As I have no experience in growing I don't know if my "azomite" is the right one but in a french forum someone said it was "oligoelements" and so one guy in the garden shop recommended me this...
- My fish bone meal and my blood meal are in granule form, does that change anything?

If you guys have any advice, recomendation to give me please let me know, I count on you my friends because in French forums nobody was able to help me...

Thanks A Lot!

Also guys, as my soil has a pH of 7, I had the idea of adding dolomite & azomite to my base soil. What you guys think about this? Please also let me know what you think about my base soil. Thanks!

Thanks sir! So, a guy talked to me about doing my own mix for the coco as my base soil is not that good so if you guys have any recommandation...

Those mixes available in your country are not in mine, only the biobizz are available. I don't know yet if I will do my own base soil mix by adding myself coco etc. but if I do it, I'll let you guys know... I don't see much people giving help on my thread, is there anything wrong with it?

Not much info on France probably...I know there is much more of a grower scene in Spain & Switzerland. Maybe hit up some gardening/grow stores closer to the border for a more chill info on a good mixture.
