Hello guys.
Im thinking of making my own organic soil for first time and I would like it to be ph worry free.
I have the following things in my home:

Red Worms Castings
Perlite
Zeolite
Worm Castings
Bone meal
Mycorryza
Οrganic Soil From Sea Algae

Can I make a good organic soil from these ingredients and not have to worry about ph and feeding my plants for a long time?
If yes, Can u give me advice on dosage?
Thank you

If you are starting with a ph balanced base soil and then yes you can add some of this stuff to it. Except the zeolite; no idea what that is. Google says it's an aluminum oxide detox. Not sure you need that. I would just add the compost & perlite to your bag soil and use it just like that.
Add myco in the hole at each transplant and place the root ball in contact with it. Bone meal is good to add as a top dress along with ewc just before flowering.

Humic
ewc
myco
Kelp

This is about the most of anything I would add for supplementing a bagged mix. However I am not familiar with the brand you are
running.

Keep shit simple with your mix ( base ) ... adding this and that often leads to excess of things out of ratio.

I second the mycorrhiza. I mist the newly prepared hole and sprinkle Mykos all around it liberally. Then I mist the root ball and sprinkle more Mykos all over it so it gets all over the roots, and then it goes into its new home. I use a little Azos too, but barely any compared to the Mykos. Great advice again Drysift.

Ηello my friend. When u say compost u mean the worm castings?
So it would be 1/3 soil, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 wormcastings? On seedlings also?
And then at transplant add also the myco?

Yes or compost from a backyard pile or bokashi or what have you.....yes; does not have to be deadly accurate..
For seed starting or rooted clones just use unamended soil; bust up a spent root ball in a tote bin with a rusty ol shovel and pour in some water to hydrate it. If you have no spent soil add a bit more perlite (or coco) to lighten it up for young tender roots.
Yes...
