Help with soil recipe

So I’m trying to get as close to a water only soil as possible. Haven’t had the best game plan from the door on this one. To start I have 30 gals of promix as my base. I have more but I only need 28 total gallons for my flowering run. I added Jobes AP 444 @ 33g/g. Blood and blood meal @ 1oz/gal and alfalfa meal @ .025oz/gal. I also added 12lbs of ewc. I have compost but I’m unsure of how much to use. Is this mix too hot, what should I add bc I feel something is missing. Thanks for the help in advance.

I am new to soil but FWIW I would think about Azomite for micronutrients and lime for Ca and pH (although not familiar with ProMix so it may be fine w/ pH). Maybe an inoculant (bacs. mycos), molasses, and kelp meal or flakes. Good luck!

PS - I have seen recommendations for compost from 1-3 to 1-5 ratios if that helps. IMHO, YMMV, etc.

I overlooked your reply earlier. Thanks for the recommendation for the compost. I have a ton of it so I’ll add it when I add the kelp meal and guano. I’m going to use molasses with the teas. Do ppl put that directly in soil?

Some do, but if you are doing teas w/ molasses that's an effective way to feed microbes plus get the other benefits. I would think you're good.
