Soil Fertility Testing

Has anyone ever had their super soil tested? I have made some and had it tested and most tests were above optimal. I know super soil is suppose to be mixed and should be hot to some point. The main question is when you send it in they want to know what you are growing so they can give recommendations on what to add. Last time i said general vegetable because options were limited. But what other veggie, fruit, herb, etc could I list that grows like cannabis? What would be nice is to find a soil test of of some good super soil and see what the N-P-Ks are.

You could probably just say medical marijuana.

Are you in a legal state?

And I doubt the place youre getting it tested at is a "federal" tester so you should be fine just sayin marijuana.

Its legal so many places most people know.

The place i sent it to was http://www.aasl.psu.edu/Default.htm and they are out of PA so i do not think they would help with that, I also have to pick from a list they give of crops. Now that you say that though i guess i could sent it out of state to get tested. If so i bet there is somewhere that would almost specialize in testing soils for cannabis. I am gonna cut some of the soil in half w/ coco fiber and sent it back to be tested again, so if someone knows of a place that i can just put medical marijuana let me know cause that would be ideal.

Hope my magnesium is not too high cause i added dolomite lime which has mag in it instead of calcitic lime and the calcium to lime ratio should be like a 7:1 if I am not mistaken. Right now i just need to add more cal some how and split one of my cans in half with coco fiber then send it to be tested.

honestly, If you want a good soil right out of the bag... fox farms ocean forest, is probably the best thing you can get. I like to take FFOF and mix it with happy seed and thats all I do. Seedlings seem to love it, and they tend to veg well in the mix until they get too big and need a Xfer to a bigger pot.

Thought i should post what i actually mixed up, made about 100 gallons.
Since I had it tested i added the lime they recommended but it was dolomite and not calcitic
Added a little over half a bag of Fox Farm Big and Chunky Perlite

1.5 Sunshine Advanced Mix #4 3 cu ft Compressed
1 Dr. Earth Natural Choice Compost Mix 1.5 cu ft
4lb Dr. Earth Blood Meal
4lb Fox Farm Steamed bone meal
5lb Sunleaves Jamaican bat guano
4lb Dr. Earth Rock phosphate
8oz Myco Maximum

16 cups Soil Secret EWC
3/4 cup Epsom Salt
1/2 cup Grow More Dolomite lime
1/2 cup Azomite

Mixed and then cooked for about 30 days then tested
Could not find any powdered humic so i added some diamond black in some of the water.

As far as using Ocean Forest and Happy Frog as mediums i love it and use that all the time, i just wanted to make something that was super alive and would just be able to add water and go.

Anyone have any luck with amazon bloom from Earth Juice, was thinking of using light warrior for seed/clone then re-pot into ocean forest for veg , and then into amazon bloom for flower. should not have to feed much then only for last couple weeks.
