Reuse coco/peat for organic soil?

I have 3.8 cu ft of sphagnum peat moss and about 3 cu ft of coco coir mixed with 3 cu ft of perlite.

I was wondering if anyone felt generous enough to help me come up with a recipe to use some of the ingredients I have on hand to make a really nice water only mix. I'd like to try and fill a 30 or 45 gallon container and just go for a monster. I just dont have the knowledge to be confident in my abilities to make a really well rounded soil and not fall back into running salts, because it is familiar.
 
I'm running 25% coco in a a subcool type recipe. I didn't like the result by 3 weeks into flower so I looked at Clackamas Coots recipe, it has I believe 3x the calcium content so now my soil is getting a healthy tripling of calcium and mag.

Prep coco first with gypsum and Epsom salt, make sure to load it up.

I can't say for certainty if it's going to work but I'm going to give it a shot
 
Blood meal
Bone meal
Soft rock phosphate
Epsom salt
Dolomite lime

It doesn't call for any potassium in subcool recipe so I am also backing off the phosphorus and nitrogen on his recipe and added potassium in replacement.
 
For calcium and mg enrichment I'm going to use egg shells and gypsum and more dolomite lime for both.
 
Well, for now I'm just waiting on current run to end before I make a trip down to grab everything. I'll update you guys on the direction I'm going by the end of the month.
