Ok, I figured out that I missquackulated. So Here is the new revised edition of "The Ultimate Growing Medium" This makes 32 U.S. Dry Gallons

Hydro-Organic Growing Medium Recipe


Cocotek Natural Mixed Brick-----------------13.33 Gallons


FoxFarm Big and Chunky Perlite-------------10.66 Gallons


General Organics Ancient Forest Humus----4.8 Gallons


Roots Organic's Big Worm--------------------3.2 Gallons


Sunleaves Peruvian Seabird Guano----------2 oz


Woodburn Sul-Po-Mag------------------------0.4 oz


Shellfish Fertilizer-----------------------------8 oz


Espoma Greensand---------------------------12 oz


Espoma Kelp Meal----------------------------2.4 oz


General Hydroponics Subculture B----------2.5 Tbsp


General Hydroponics Subculture M---------5 Tbsp

Just divide however much medium you need by 32 and then times that number by the numbers above

Example: 100/32= 3.125

3.125x13.33= 41.66 Gallons of Cocotek Natural Mixed Coco Fiber

I'm not sure but I think you would have to leave out the General Organics Ancient Forest Humus to make it completely soil-less. I thought it would help the beneficial Bacteria and mycorrhizae fungi. And you can leave out all the fertilizers if you prefer to provide all nutrients by liquid hydroponic fertilizers (I recommend General Organics). Other wise just use this for the first 2-4 weeks
