i believe your asking about the N-P-K, right? it all depends on what you plant on using the soil for... seeds, cuttings, transplanting bigger plants...

then your going to want to use a soilless mix! You don't want any N-P-K in the soil, they will burn the shit out of your seeds and most likely kill them.

You can always order online. People here rave over "Fox Farm" soil and nutrients, but I have yet to use them. The X-X-X is the amount of Nitrogen(N)Phosphorus(P)Potassium(K) in it. I guess the amount you want is opinion based. over use, or deficiencies of one of NPK can lead to issues (Usually yellowing)
