Soil mix question

whatsmyname

New member
Hi there,

I am starting my 1st grow .everything is all set and ready and I juz mixed my own soil. where I come from there isn't alot of choices of soil to buy .therefore I had to mix myself.

Rough estimation :
33% sphagnum peat moss
33% organic Compost (All it says its a blend of decomposed empty fruit bunch with added Microbes.)
22% Perlite
12% Vermiculite

Is my mix okay and enough for me to get started or am i missing anything crucial. Thanks =)

powdered dolomite lime 2 TBS per gallon and up to 1/3 worm casting if you can find them. That should get em through about 3 weeks before you have to feed them i would think.
 
Great suggestion

earthworm castings are great for the soil and the plant.I start with a quality soil like ocean forest and add perlite and castings with extra lime..It works for me but if you go with the formula you posted with lime and castings youll be very happy.
