Hello there LisaSativa, You could mix your own and premix it a few weeks in advance. I would recommend that you buy organic soil from a highly reputable dealer. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

How does this soil mix look?
Running 65% ProMixBX, 25% Castings, and 10% perlite. With 5 tbsp each of crab, feather and fish bone meal as well as 2.5 tbsp each of kelp meal and bat guano. (20 tbsp total for 10 gallons, 2tbsp per gal) Is this too hot for autos?

Maintaining the soil pH
I give pH'ed water, never more than 800ppm and I still always end up with lockouts. I used to not give water untill runoff but now I do. What to do after testing the runoff? It's currently at 6.0 even after a flush with 7.2. Ask many questions I need to know what I'm doing wrong.

Chicken Poop
We have chickens and ducks which provide all kinds of poop. I have a pile I use to age it for about a year. It is a mix of poo, oyster shell and broken down leaf mulch. I am not sure exactly what it adds as for as nutrients. Does anyone have a guess?
