Final transplant soil mix

Hey guys,

I'm growing indoors in soil and my baby is vegging away nicely, currently just in John Innes No2 Potting soil, with about 30% perlite mix. I ordered some 'bio bizz grow' which a friend recommended, and I have the proper measuring equipment to ensure that dosages are correct. However, my question pertains to where to go next.

When I move it to its final grow medium for flowering (in the largest pot), I want to make a good 'part soil' based mix. I have an allotment and have access to their shop which includes the likes of cheap bone/blood meal and mushroom compost (completely organic).

How does this sound for the grow medium?

1 or 2 part John Innes No3 soil (used previously in outdoor grow with good success)
1 part mushroom compost
1 part perlite
Any additional ferts required like the bone / blood meal?

These are readily available to me. I could buy other bits online but seeing as the allotment shop is down the road and a very cheap cash only affair, it makes sense to use it.


I've read the organic threads / sticky's but don't have ALL the ingredients right now to go full organic just yet, and I might do that next time round when I have more experience.


I'm open to suggestions :)

with my final and all my mixes i use, 50% fox farm planting mix with 50% advanced sun shine mix#4 (or promix), and add 1 cup blood meal, bone meal, and 1/2 cup Mexican bat guano all in a 5 gallon mix. mix well cause u don't want any hot spots . experiment with different products. but after my mix i use (LITTLE TO NONE!!! nutes when watering!)

Thanks for the reply kedja, I've heard great things about guano. Sounds like a nice mix there. I'll see if I can make anything near it :)
