Personally I wouldn’t use any of the tomato potting mixes they have listed because of the slow release chemical nutrients they contain. The slow release mechanism always tend to fuck up a grow imo. Better off with going to your local landscape supply store and grabbing 1/4-1 cube of organic garden soil as the base.

I also wouldn’t use canna coco, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives that would do the same thing including the bagged coco from Bunnings as well as the brick coco from Bunnings if you rinse it correctly.

I’d also switch out the blood meal for Yates professional blood and bone so your getting an extra long release Source of phosphorus since bone meal is pretty fucking hard to source in aus on its own and at least double the amount of gypsum

I use Coco, high quality composite, worm castings, kelp meal, rock dust,Epsom salt, gypsum and cal nitrate to boost levels till gypsum works.
I dont add soil to mine 3 parts coco, 3 parts compost and 2 parts castings is hot but don't chuck seedlings in LoL
