Get a soil test done if you want it won't hurt and is cool. But you don't really need one especially with a fresh mix

Perlite is fine,how can it float and also turn into cement at the bottom ? You don't seem to be grasping the idea of building a soil mix

Its usually 1/3 compost so you can use a mix of compost and vermicompost or just use compost in your mix and top dress with the castings that's what I'll do because I can't get hold of the amount of castings I need till later in the year. The soil mixes posted by people are a really good guide but slightly varying them isn't going to cause any major dramas
true i gues as long theres enough in it but i can always top dress n feed it

I know you want the "best" soil to give you the highest terms and AAAAAA+ bud but when you have a go on Ruby's Sour Kush that hasn't got some of these things in it ,then come back and tell me if you still think you can't grow high grade if you haven't put them in,guys like @ruby fruit could probably grow good weed in a $3 bag of potting mix from woolies. You don't grow quality dope by following a list,soil is just one part of the equation
