Will this formula work for my girls?

"Rookie here looking for some pointers from the Pros"

50% Organic Potting Soil N:.05%,P:.04%,K.03%
30% Mushroom compost
20% Perlite N:.04%,P:.01%,K:.06%
10% Vermiculite

I also added a little bit of Sphagnum Moss,about a hand full and mixed it all up in a 5gl bucket. Looks great,very airy and light. Dont know how useful it is yet.

I want to know what if this mixture will allow for decent growth through veg stage?
How long before I have to use Nutes?
Is there anything I can add,replace or take out to make what I have better overall?

Any and all feedback will be considered.

110%? No nutes for the first 2 or 3 weeks after a real plant is above ground. Just water. Pot survives in the wild with whatever water falls its way. Then the root system will be ready to take up nutrients.
 
Thanks man,I thought i was going to have an EPIC fail coming through comments. I did a lot of research,and hoped for the best.

May your thumb be green and your bud burn slow.
 
yeah the percentages are off a bit,but initally i only put 10 perlite and 10 vermiculite. I added more perlite because soil seemed kind of heavy still. So i say 20% on perlite. Its honestly a balance of the two,the soil and mushroom compost were much more precise.

your perlite has nutes in it along with organic potting soil. probably not enough to jack up your plants but seedlings yes... you shouldnt have to feed your plants until the 3rd or 4th set of leaves come through. youll know when to feed your plants, they will let you know.
 
thanks for your help.I was wondering if you know any good organic nutes that are decently priced? I am still lost on nutes for the veg stage>and am wondering if Alaska MORBLOOM (0-10-10) would be good enough for flowering stag? P.S I want to stay Organic.
