Building intial living soil for KNF grow

[rlslmshdy]

I'm sold on using KNF methods for growing. Ive been watching Chris Trump and PureKNF videos. Im getting ready to start my first grow. It will be indoors. The one thing I havent seen. Im wondering about. Is building the soil. I dont want to add anything that would kill the IMOs. Im not sure. But do you add any nutrients to start, to the soil. This will be a no till living soil. Is there a starting recipe for a KNF living soil?
Thanks guys for your help.

I know some KNF people who started with Cootz mix, but I think they became interested in KNF after their initial interest in living soil. Now I'm curious too.

I would agree with the Cootz mix. After having my potting soil tested multiple times, I always had high phosphorus, so I was very compelled when I found a recipe with low P. I've been adding iron and manganese sulfate to my mix lately.

Thank you for taking time to reply. I found a 3 hour youtube video of knf course specifically for cannabis. The instructor gives a soil mix recipe he recommends. When I get chance. Ill find it and post the link.

If i may add- Start with house plants and herbs first. Basil is a quick reacting plant for these techniques. And uptakes it well too. Basil lets you see where you went wrong relatively fast ~2days. And, lets see you where you did right. I had a 26" basil plant with 5 other shoots in 1.75months from seed. Leaves were huge and stems were thick as a pen.
