dude's there is so many that are beyond wonderful. I say simple get my vote. So here goes: 1 qt. perlite, 1qt. vermiculite, 2qts. worm castings, 1qt. potting soil ( not Miracle gro), 1/4 bat guano(10-3-1), 1/2 cup horticulture dolomite lime powder,,, This mix is my personal fav. plenty of starter nutes and when its time may I suggest you get your nutes from Blue Mountain Organics(ebay only).. Just search out Power plant organic, and you can get to their ebay store. All organic and cheap on price but kick ass in quality! I will never go back to foxfarm. Love them, but i prefer organic and not a fancy lookin label to charge 60$$$$ good luck
