This is for a veggie garden but whatever.
I was planning on doing 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost, 1/3 rice hulls.

never used rice hulls- is 1/3 suffice?

compost will be chicken/steer/worm castings

adding kelp, oyster, neem seed, granular humid, gypsum, Basalt, and like 12 lbs of crushed oyster shell because I bought the wrong kind originally. I figure it will act as fancy aeration.

I wish I could help but recipe is a bit different than most of what I've used. I suggest the you list your nutes so that the next person can tell better what you have. I do think your plants are going to love all the worm castings.

I use commercial so I can't help you but I've been doing some research on the history of cannabis specific soil (because I had to bitch slap a troll) and you may find some of this info interesting and possibly useful. As you'll see, this info is quite old so if you're young and looking for the newest, latest, bestest stuff, this ain't going to help:

Yea, I read that if it was just the other day. Anyhow, @pahpah-cee, I use one of the newer Super
Soils recipes, It shouldn't matter that much if the nutes are balanced.

Looks like you got the shitty EWC, no offense.

Totally. This is for my outdoor veggies. It’s hard to get like 50lbs of good stuff on short notice.

the chicken and steer compost is cheapo too.
i do have a little of my homemade compost left I will add for diversity.

It's fine. But that brand isn't my favorite. It's all good though.

You've got everything besides the kitchen sink there mate, looks great. I'd add some mycorrhizae, bat guano & bone meal if available myself.

Do you think it would be worth while adding any dolomite?

I have some dolomite. I could do a half oyster, half dolomite mix.
I don’t have any guano or bone meal. But I will definitely start collecting those for my next go. This is my tester batch. The next batch will probably make its way indoors with the cannabis.
