Time heals all wounds as they say. I hope you find a positive and focus on that.
Shit storms dont last long, its how you pick up the pieces each time is what counts.

No shes mostly organic ! No hort chems or hormones.
Just; Worm wee, my special compost tea , seasol, powerfeed, charlie carp, Carbo load , thrive, Epsom salts to name a few.
And will get Hornby Big Bud , outdoor Aussie fertz. Touch of pk13-14 for flower

wow i say 3lbs 2.5oz's....final answer

Also i know you gave a brief run down of whats in the soil but can you maybe break it down in ratio per ingredient. Or if you have a better soil mixture you can give that is easily accessable for someone in a city area to get with no hassle. i currently use fox farm ocean forrest but am looking to go all organic with no ferts

OK here goes.
I dont really think about doing it anymore, as its just a winter thing..... growing a good compost heap and mending soil from season before

What it is in is an old corrugated water tank, cut into 5 ft sections and sunk into the ground with no bottoms. about 5 cubic meters
After digging 2 cubic meters out of the "pits" each year.
I REPLACE WITH;
1/2 to 3/4 with top grade organic soil mix from nursery (about 1 tonne)
200KG + of horse shit
50 kg - Duck shit or fowl manure
10 bags of a potting grade soil in bags. (with wetting agent) (APP 150KG +)
My Compost ( heaps )
My old mushroom compost ( heaps )
sugar cane mulch ( 1/2 of a condensed bail )
15kg of clean sand
Lime
complete trace minerals'
Potash - commercial

All done mid autumn early winter, makes a pile. Then cap it off with tarps and wood board for a few months to let heat be trapped.
And it will maturate/compost further , and good to go for spring !

If anyone wants recipe ... no worries.

here is the 2 I use.

First is FAMOUS ! and worth every drop !

Award Winning Apfelwein Recipe (German Hard Cider) Apple Wine Recipe
Placed 1st in the Cider & Apple Wine category at the BJCP sanctioned Alamo Cerveza fest (out of 11 entries) and took 2nd place for Best of Show for the main category of Meads & Ciders (out of 50 entries).
Ingredients
5 Gallons 100% Apple Juice (No preservatives or additives) I use Tree Top Apple Juice
2 pounds of dextrose (corn sugar) in one pound bags
1 five gram packet of Montrachet Wine Yeast
Equipment
5 Gallon carboy (I use a Better Bottle)
carboy Cap or Stopper with Airlock
Funnel First sanitize the carboy, airlock, funnel, stopper or carboy cap.
Open one gallon bottle of apple juice and pour half of it into the carboy using the funnel.
Open one bag of Dextrose and carefully add it to the now half full bottle of apple juice. Shake well.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, then go to step 5.
Pour in the mixture of Apple Juice and Dextrose from both bottles into the carboy.
Add all but 1 quart of remaining 3 gallons of apple juice to the carboy.
Open the packet of Montrachet Yeast and pour it into the neck of the funnel.
Use the remaining quart of juice to wash down any yeast that sticks. I am able to fit all but 3 ounces of apple juice into a 5 gallon Better Bottle. You may need to be patient to let the foam die down from all shaking and pouring.
Put your stopper or carboy cap on with an airlock and fill the airlock with cheap vodka. No bacteria will live in vodka and if you get suckback, you just boosted the abv.
There’s no need to worry about filling up a carboy so full when you use Montrachet wine yeast. There is no Kreuzen, just a thin layer of bubbles (
see here
). I'm able to fit all but 4 oz. of my five gallons in the bottle. Ferment at room temperature.

It will become cloudy in a couple of days and remain so for a few weeks. In the 4th week, the yeast will begin to drop out and it will become clear. After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a secondary is not necessary. It ferments out very dry (less than 0.999, see here)

Apfelwein really improves with age, so if you can please let it sit in a carboy for up to 3 months before bottling or kegging'>kegging, then let it sit even longer. Here's what some folks think.

Remember to reserve judgment till after 3 glasses. It grows on you.
