Any good Soil recipes?

Does anyone have a good soil Recipe? I am using pre-made soil from fox farm and just wanted to know if anyone out there makes there own blend and works better for them. Thanks

my buddy uses this one.
1 Bale sunshine mix #2 or promix (3.8 cu ft)
8 cups Bone Meal - phosphorus source
4 cups Blood Meal - nitrogen source
1 1/3 cups Epsom salts - magnesium source
3-4 cups dolmite lime -calcium source & pH buffering
1 tsp fritted trace elements
4 cups kelp meal.
9kg (25 lbs) bag pure worm castings

damn, that one above me must be good because it's so specific and technical. I use Kellog's because it's local and has nothing added then I mix in an equal part of pearlite and 1/2 part spagum moss, then I top it off with 2 inches of sterilized sand after I plant for bug control and light reflection.

you are so disciplined. Let it set for several weeks would never happen for me. hahaha

1 part (25%) earthworm casings is too rich for my blood, but you could substitute some high nitrogen poultry manure or guano there.

Earth juice also make a good dry fertilizer you mix into the medium it's called "Rainbow mix" http://www.planetnatural.com/site/rainbow-mix-grow.html

Also comes in bloom formula if you plan to transplant going into flower (12/12)

Hmmmm....It's only 1-0-0. The Guano or poultry manure is hotter stuff for sure.

Ok so Im on a budget with no shops around. Do you think I can get by on MG organic choice. Like the soil + bone meal + Blood meal and add some perlite? I have heard mixed things about it.

Dude dont use MG
buy something else
do NOT get soil that has ferts / extended release ferts, it will extended kill your plants at about 2-3 weeks, or atleast burn the shit out of em before you know it.

Here is what I use
worm casting are great, cant use too much. they are costly, $2 per pound for me.
make sure it has perlite andor vercumlite.
again dont use MG, it's for suckers, they are far from organic btw (even their "organic" line)
