Hi guys, I've been trying to get a collection of amendments to create a diverse healthy soil, My laziness has been creating a lot of deficiencies lately that I've been having to undo. I wanted to list off what I have and see what I might be missing or don't need because I'm covered with something else. I'm trying to find Fast and slow release sources of all the macronutes and give abundant micronutes.
So far I have..
Sunleaves High-N Mexican Bat Guano
Sunleaves High-P Jamaican Bat Guano
Wiggle Worms EWC
Dolomite Lime
Epsom Salt
Blood Meal
DTE Bone Meal
DTE Kelp Meal
DTE Alfalfa Meal
DTE Green Sand
Organic Black Strap unsulphured Molasses

and from kelp4less I'll be adding..

Myco/Trichoderma Blend
Fulvic/Humic Blend
Azomite Powder
Crab Meal
Rock Phosphate Fert.
Neem Cake
Amino Acids

so am I pretty well covered? As of now, I'm in fox farms ocean forest/verm. 50/50, no extra perlite for my base. Thanks for the help guys!

What's the humic blend? I'm not seeing any humisoil on your list, it's called Alaskan Humisoil. The stuff is amazing and full of microbes, especially fungi! Other than that everything looks great, just go easy with how much you put in your soil because you don't want to burn the plants too much. I'd also recommend looking into compost teas and rather than watering the soil everyday with just plain water, hit it with compost tea to really get a good start on that soil web!

it's a blend of 50/50 humic and fulvic acid. http://www.kelp4less.com/shop/fulvic-and-humic-blend/

30 day rule for cooking the soil i figure before using it right? i wanted a water only mix for awhile then i'll amend it with teas when the bloom starts rocking and the meantime, i'll water with liq. kelp extract/molasses tea every watering.
I'll probably be using some susita humus and fishy peat to mix in, i'm not sure where you can actually find living alaska humisoil in alaska lol
out of the ingredients I'll have on hand, what tea recipes would you go for?

Personally, I would ditch the blood meal and rely on your alfalfa, crab, and neem for N. if you notice a little N deficiency, just hit them with an alfalfa tea.

That'll be much easier than dealing with too much nitrogen. Blood meal is HOT.

According to LumperDawgz over on Grasscity, the Alaskan Humisoil isn't much more that peat: "You can blow off the Alaskan Humisoil from Bountea - it's nothing more than Sphagnum Peat Moss [cite] with some rock dust added.

Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss at HomeDepot or Loew's is around $15.00 for 3.8 c.f."

I'm still doing a lot of reading trying to find the proper mix. What I've done so far has lead to one defic. or another so I'm just going to stock the hell out of my pantry and start playing. I'd certainly like to hear what you guys would do with what I have listed as far as recipes go. I don't have a base nailed down either, as of now I'm 1 gal. Fox Farms Ocean Forest/Vermiculite 60/40, 1 cup WW EWC, 1 tbls Dolomite. Amended in .5 Tsp. kelp meal, 1 tbls Alfalfa Meal, 1 tbls Green Sand, 1 tbls Bone meal, 1 tbls Mex. Bat Guano, 1 tbls Jam. Bat Guano. Watered with Liq. Seakelp/Molasses. I didn't cook it at all and transplanted clones into it that were done in pure vermiculite. They sizzled for about a week and then took off with some nice growth lol.
I need to find a good seedling mix possibly, a good 1 month feed mix and then my veg. and bloom teas figured. Right now I'm tracking down the base so please any info is appreciated. So either Coco coir or Can. Sph. Peat. with EWC, Humus, Perilite, Dolomite?

also after digging around, I think yucca would be a good add on maybe.
