Michigan supersoil growers?

I need to order the shit over the next two days and mix my soil, or buy a bunch of Michigan mix.

2 things I like about the Michigan Mix (have NOT used it yet) 1. Convenience. Only need to add water, no more mixing shit up every feeding. 2. Michigan pride.
2 things I don't like about it. 1. Price (what's it cost in the real world, cuz it's $30+ per bag. Anyone buy it by the pallet, or two? 2. Doubt about how good it is. The way I understand it, is that you can veg and bud without adding anything but water through duration of grow. With the supersoil, It is too strong to put plants directly into it, it only goes in bottom half(ish) of pots. Well, that tells me that the supersoil has much more nutes in it. With that train of thought I have been rolling down the supersoil avenue. I bought the ebay charge packs. Not doing that again.

First sentence I realized that I am going to do both, and use them in a grow thread. Last time I looked, Amazon had all the shit needed (obviously I will pick up worm casings and soil), the problem was most of the items did not include shipping and that ended up expensive. It takes four weeks to activate, and it'll take prolly a week to have all the shit shipped. None of us are getting any younger...

Because of the terrible back issues I am having already in life, I have been wanting a cheap cement mixer from harbor freight to mix the soil in. I heard subcool or another weed nerd mention that renting used ones is risky cuz they just don't get clean enough.

We need to find best super soil recipe and decide which soil to use. Ocean Forest is easiest to get. I have been tempted to try the Roots Organics 707 mix. I used the original roots and wasn't impressed.

Do tthe nutes and this stuff rinse when you run your water to fast or water to much? does it matter if its a wick bottom feeding pot and is this reusable ? should i ammend it with new soil throw it out? mix it with cocoa ? and or give it nutes to finish the second time i reuse it, if possible? I want to use 420gs.com self watering pots with soil system. I requested this at my local grow shop I cant wait to try it. I have Jedi 41 , Elephant , Lord: Vader diesel ,Jedi pure (backcrossed), pure Power plant and Deathstar ) more.
Yes, there is only so much 'food' in the soil, so depending on the size of the pot, amount of super soil in the pot and methods of watering all are determining factors in whether the plant will run out of gas before it is ready to harvest. I have heard that if you don't add enough ss, then you will need to add food before you actually harvest. I have also heard that you do not need to rinse because there is nothing to rinse, you only add water. Well I do not think both things can be true. Common sense tells me that the goal would be for the plant to run out of gas a week before harvest THEN you are only adding water.

I'd like to maybe try the Michigan Mix, where is it sold at in SW MI?? I'm tired of Fox Farms, I have consistent cal/mag issues growing in it because it drops PH after about 4 weeks.. Maybe some extra dolomite would help I dunno... I still get fat gnarly buds but I hate seeing leaves turning colors prematurely. I sure as hell dont have the room or amenities to mix my own super soil.
