Soil and Whatnot

So for this upcoming spring grow, I've found 3 spots, and plan on having at least 30 plants, maybe more if I can get some more bagseed from these decent mids going around. So my question is, what type of soil can I fill my holes with without breaking the bank? Foxfarm isn't really available in my area so I'll probably go with some sort of organic soil.

I figure I'm gonna need an organic soil, worm castings, vermiculite or perlite (which is better?), maybe blood/bone meal if the plants want it.

I looked in the guide at the top but I'm not quite sure if thats what I'm looking for. If anyone has any ideas as to how to use the above in an effective combo or has a recipe of their own maybe they could help me out? please

Get promix and use hydro nutes the whole way through everytime u water and they will be fucking monsters. Start with clones too. mine in 2007 were like 6.5 feet tall and like 4.5 feet wide but they got stolen 1 pound dry a plant easy. OHH yeah a few other things find a good sunny spot. dig the holes like 3 feet by 3 feet at least. spread them the fuck out cause they will be insane ull see

Yeah, I hade 9 6ft females last year then they all got ripped . I was looking at around a lb each; damn I would've been a happy man. Anyway, that was my first grow, planted em all in soil i found in my shed, used blood meal for veg then made a bone meal solution for flower. Nothing else, no perlite or anything.

This year though, I'm looking for some monsters. If anyone sees anything wrong with this recipe lemme know:

6 parts organic topsoil
2 parts perlite
1 part vermiculite
1 part worm castings

and about a half to a cup of lime just to balance the ph.

The blood/bone meals made animals dig at the base of my plants so I'm not doing that again unless I need to.

Oh and I'm more of an organic soil guy myself. I'm not too fond of chemical stuff and don't think I could get promix around here.
