Where Are The Soil People????

Hello everyone,
I have a question for all you indoor soil growers.

WHAT IS THE BEST COMBINATION?

What is the best as far as the total picture?
Has anyone figured it up as far as a per plant price vs. quality?
I know that people get loyal to what works for them.
Well, I have not been growing longenough to have a favorite.
I am about to buy about 20 cubic ft of soil and was wondering who liked what?
I have been using a mirical grow/cactus/perlite mix that was ok for starters, but not good for now.
What about soil/nute combo's? I have seen that canna ad for the biocanna.
Organic soil and Organic nutes made for the soil.
And in the same breath I continue to read FDD's thread "it's all bullshit"
I dont know if maybe like a soilless mix like Sunshine #4 and maybe some organic nute's.
I am really buying into this whole bullshit movement.
I have been using about 100 dollars of Technaflora shit with problems.
I slide in a 8 dollar bottle of MG 12-4-8 and those plants went crazy.
Now see I am an ex-military man that does better with a well laid out plan.
I dont have that plan with the plants. I am in foriegn territory.
What I think myself and all the newb's running around this site need's is for one or more of the more experianced growers to make up a thread about soil combo's and nutes.
Can I use Organic nutes and a soiless mix? Organic soil seems so high priced.
What about a homemade mix, I have checked the FAQ's on soil with no luck.

Why does senthetic nute's attack mollassis? I went and got some grannies mol. and then read that it only works with organic nute's:sad:

What is fine dolimite lime?, Where do i find it? Is there a good soil mix I can get at WalMart?(or piece together)

I am so tired of these company's relying on the fact that I dont know if what they are selling me is shit or not.
And ofcourse the age of ethical, moral, decent contributers to the cause is GONE.
I figure that most of the people that share these boards with us are here to convey there trials, compare victories, ponder the unthinkable, and share in the dream.....PERFECTLY RAISED,MANICURED SMOKEABLES:weed:

I hope one of you is out there.
PLEASE
Help me with my problem.
A steady supply of soil and nutes year round, keeping in mind quality, price, and availability.

Is it Organic, Is it Senthetic?

Is it Organic, Is it Soilless?

Just wondering what you guys think on the subject?
Thank you for your time.

PS Just one more thing; this is not for all you haters out there. I am just looking for honest opinions not a bunch of the whole you are wrong crap.
I will listen to everyone that puts up a line.
Then, while burning my first ever bowl of self grown grass, I will consider all that have come forth and spoken, and make my soil purchass.
After I wake up,I cant find my wallet.
This is me.

Come on guys, 50 people read this post and 2 post info.
You dont have to be perfect, what kind of soil are you using??????
Just tell me what u have had luck with.;)
You dont even have to be happy with what you are using, missing a pot hole would be nice..LOL
I guess a bunch of hydro growers have stopped by and understandably they had nothing to say... For I have asked for people that grow in soil.
I JUST WANT IT FOR THE PLANTS!!!!!!!

I PROMISE I WONT USE THE INFORMATION FOR EVIL DEEDS!!!!
maybe....

I'm using Pro-mix bx right now.. first time using it but it seems to be working very well. I know some people like to add perlite, something i'll prolly try next time around.

Am using FF:OF atm, have used it quite a bit in the past.... not my favorite by any means, but right nowI don't have enough money fer a good soil mix, and the OF makes maintenance easier(no nuting, just waterin[unless they're in need of a nute]). I just don't like it cause I can't grow quite a few strains because it just burns em' alive, others love it though, all depends.

P.S.- A quick google of "cannabis soil mix" ended me here:
Great Soil Recipes For Mixing Great Soil For Your Marijuana Plants

Top too bottom, there's about 8 soil mixes I believe. I also have a growing article somewhere that has like 15 good soil mixes for organic growing. Will try and find them, but no clue where they could be(lost flash drive).

Gardeners Bloom potting soil (it's sterile) plus 1/4 perlite. Has enough organics for first couple of weeks without running risk of nute burn. Nice and light so allows for rapid root growth and harder to over H2O. After 2 wks can start nutes at 1/4 strength and gradually increase to full strength. GL HH
