Can you use Pro-mix potting soil without nute additives?

  1. Can I just use straight pro-mix potting soil with perlite and dolomite lime wothout adding nutes like guano, worm castings, kelp meal etc..? I plan on using FF Grow Big and Tiger Bloom as liquid nutes when the plant matures. Would that be enough to sustain the life of a plant?
     
  2. It's best to begin with some nutes in the soil. I found a recipe yesterday, cannot locate the thread again but I copied it down:

    60% potting soil
    15% perlite
    10% building sand
    10% worm castings
    5% premix

    The above premix value is a good starter and is pretty much in the correct PH value. Later in your grow add nutes, this is just a premix to get you startted.
