Soil advice please.

I've germinated my Flash Seed SuperAutos and my LowRyder II seeds. (Both AutoFlower)

I've reviewed several 'Soil Guide's to Growing'

Now I'm ready to plant these babies in their permanent homes. (Airpots and Superpots!).

Unfortunately, here in Asia you have to special order any special organic soil (it's ALL chemicals over here), and I don't even know how to BEGIN to do that! (I can barely tell what is in the REGULAR mixes). Sooo, no bloodmeal or worm casings for me.(ETC)

My question:
I'm gathering Autos have different/special soil needs, yea? What would be the BEST mix/how would you use of the ANY of the following?

Here's what I have access to:
-'Delicious' (I know the word for this) Organic soil mix
-Composted cow manure (not fetilizer)
-Perlite
-Vermiculite
-Indonesian Bat Guano (Low nitrogen/high phosphorous type---special ordered)
-Pigeon poop (collected from under bridge)
-Ground up egg shells (homemade)
-Coffee grounds (homemade)

I also collect my rainwater in barrels with an aquaruim bubbler AND I have access to Flora Nova's Veg and Bloom, Hygrozyme, and Superthrive(I was just trying to go more organic).

I heard they have Epsom Salt here at the pharmacy, not sure that would help though.(?)

Taking ALL those materials into account, which would you guys use and how?

Thanks for the help. I've been getting VERY subpar results so far, so any help will be appreciated. (Best answer would include amounts (in %'s or ratios, not gallons/liters) and methods.)

Trying to get this shit CORRECT.


PS: By the way, several serious (results wise) growers just put their Auto's straight into cow manure(composted). (The safest of the Manure's, I'm told).

I'm actually kinda confused on the manures and soils, if anyone would mind clearing that up. (For example, do we even need soil? Looks like manure has everything the plant needs....)

Sorry, kinda a double post. You get my drift, hopefully.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. (Or just plain men, lol).

k am in africa and the soil here is not perfect out the ground, its red soil its full of goodies but it is very fine so it tends to be sticky when wet, but even though, since i live on a farm i make all the soil mixes for my potted plants from available matts eg , i sterilize humas from our compost pile and i mix it in with the red soil and some sand( all these i sterilize using steam) then i use goat chicken or rabbit manure for the food, and seed meal and sometimes kelp meal<< usually have to buy that

Man i heard the soil in Africa was red from all the blood spill, killings "Blood Diamond" Good movie
Its just sometimes u can get good results with a soil that those genetics are used to, plants found over a gold mine were taken up A.U from the gold, and that was benefitin them like copper or zinc lol

true in fact i am busy building a small green house out side, i wanna see how an outside grow would be here and our daylight is always 12 hours so the plant would go right into flowering after a few weeks unless i grow the sativas from here which go all year

Nice, two guys talking about movies and soil in Africa on my thread. Obviously, not very helpful though.

Um.......anyone have anything RELATED to add to my post? No offense.
