well i wanted to know if this would be a good mix... plain soil, bone-meal,blood-meal, and perlite. and how much of each should i put, and do i have to put them in a certain order? (perlite first, etc. (however it should go))

I usually stray away from blood-bone meal, as I think it over-fertilizes sometimes, and is hard to get rid of as they provide nutrients you want to lower when entering the flowering stage. Perlite is good ;)

bat guano, molasses, hydrolized fish and kelp are all you need, brewed in a bucket of water and an airstone on a fish tank pump. thats all you actually need to grow a good sized tasty organic crop. just change up the guano ad you need ie mex for veg indonesian for bloom, peruvian and jamacan inbetween. you'll do lovely and grow in any kind of soil other than nute loaded mg

everyone is going to tell you something differnt. all you can do is gather what people say and make your own special brew. we learn from trial and error. I am on my first grow and learning a lot as I go ..... plain dirt with some blood and bone meal in small ammounts sounds pretty good to me, Ive done it and its worked. and you def want perlite in your dirt. like 1/4 part perlite 3/4 part dirt with maybe a tablespoon of blood/bone meal.
I think thats good until you hit the veg stage and then you will need nutes

this is just my opnion, I am not an experienced grower
