Please Critique My Water Only Soil Recipe

I accidentally used Perlite with Nutes in it. Didn't notice until mixed it. That's not being organic at all but its too late to change it. I mixed it with the FFOF and the EWCs so how can i justify throwing it out. Im sure after it cooks for a while it wont be the end of the world.

I read you should only use 2-3 cups total amendments per Cubic Ft. of soil. Does anyone have anything to say on this matter?? I have 4 Cubic Ft of Soil (Including EWC). I will be using approximately 9 cups, including Diatomite Rock for drainage which i don't think counts. Think it was meant more for Micro/Macro Nutrients

I know to cook this for a month. I will be adding RO water with QT of liquid blackstrap molasses and a Qt of kelp added to this mix to cook it.

RECIPE
------------

-1.5 Cubic Ft. 1 bag Fox Farms Ocean Forest.
-1.5 Cubic Ft Reclaimed/Reused FFOF soil.
-1 Cubic Ft. Nobles Worm Organics Soil Rememdy (25Lbs)
-2 Lbs Seabird/Bat Guano Combo (Seabat Fusion)
-8 Qts Miracle Gro Prelite.
-2 Lbs Diatomite Rock
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Azomite
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Fish Bone Meal
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Bone Meal
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Blood Meal
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Glacial Rock Dust
-2 Cup (1 Lb) CALPHOS (colloidal phosphate and calcium) (Rock Phosphate)
-2 Cup (1 Lb) Humic Acid
-2 Cups Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade)
-1 Cup Lime
-1 Cup Epsom Salt

Am I ok with Drainage??

Unsure about Lime and Epsom Salt so only adding a Cup. Am I wrong?

Tell me whats wrong people please

The 2 cups is about par with Subcools recipe approximately. I ordered these things bulk from bins in 1lb(2 cups) increments. I figure if I can do things rounded off in regular measurements that will be cool for the future. I.E. Bag of this, bag of that, pound of this, pound of that, ETC. Easy to remember, purchase, and explain that way.

I ordered these things. (Not FFOF or EWC or perlite) from "EVERWOOD FARMS" in OR. http://www.everwoodfarm.com/. Ordered from their bulk bins. Things were like a dollar a pound. How refreshing instead of the same thing in a shiny package for 10Xs that. I ordered Friday night. Saturday morning at 8am I had a tracking number and it arrived Monday all good. Dave is the man

Add some more rock dust if you can. I believe the recommendation is 2-4c per Cu Ft. This does not count towards your 2-3 cups of amendments. Amendments only includes your meals and fertilizers. The liming (1c / cf) and rock dust have their own recommendations.

If you haven't bought any of the amendments yet, I'd get kelp meal in place of the blood and bone meal and use 4 cups of it. And maybe add 2 cups of a general purpose organic fertilizer.

If you have bought the amendments get either kelp meal or general purpose fertilizer and add a couple cups.

You can see my recipe in sig link if you're interested.

But im ok?? I get adding more rock dust and also add kelp meal. Im just broke and hoping this will work for this run and i can upgrade later

I think it should be fine, but Im no expert. Just know what I used in mine and it's working really well so far with water only.

Thanks
