Hey guys so I found this soil mix while cruising on rollitup and I just had a few questions that popped into my mind, am wanting to try this soil and the amendments on my next run

But instead of 10 gallons of soil I will be using 5 gallons and cutting everything in half, and will be using jiffy starter seed mix, soilless seed mix like coco
10 gallons reused soil mix (or new FFOF/HF, roots organic etc etc)
2 gallons perlite
2 gallons Vermiblend (or any quality green compost or EWC)
1 cup bone meal
1 cup dolomite lime
1 cup alfalfa meal
1 cup kelp meal
1 cup greensand
1/2 cup neem meal
1/2 cup azomite
1/4 cup insect frass
1/4 cup dry humic acids
1/4 cup epsom salt
Questions:
1. With these soil amendments do you require any feeding in the veg stage?
2. Wouldn't you be better off to employ both the organic soil method and nutrients such as fox farm instead of just an organic compost tea?
3. Would you think these amendments would work well with a soilless mixture such as jiffy seed starter mix?
Thanks!

oh ya that information was ausome! I like chemicals but I think if a person where to incorporate both chemicals and organics the grow would be 10 times better so im going to be doing that on either my next run or the one after that and maybe doing a grow journal on it

im actually goin to be doing something very similar in next week or so....5 out of my 8 plants will be in soil i ammended(and let sit for 6+ weeks) and i will only add water, various teas, and some top dressings. other 3 will be feed bontanicare pure blend, couple other botanicare products, and in roots organic soil. im fully sold on no-bottle organic growing but i would like to see how the other stuff goes just for little comparison. im fairly sure i will only continue ONLY TLO after that.
