New to soil. Anyone got any tips?

I know this sounds daft but I have always grown hydroponically ie. coco or DWC or both but never grown in soil. Anyone got a favourite potting mix or does anyone mix suff in like coco peat or mulch?

Google Subcool's mix and Uncle Ben's mix. I seen people mention they come up with potting mix recipe's that work well.
Other than that I would look up organics for fertilizer- now when I say organic I don't mean any bullshit such as "don't use anything un-natural", what I mean is find out how to culture beneficial bacteria and micro biotics. You heard about how good bacteria is good for your stomach- like the stuff in yogurt? Well for plants it's the same. Plants actually send signals through their roots that communicate to friendly live organisms which do things like unlock nutrients and other great things.

Sorry I don't have any actual information for you but I do know you should look in to those things.

Pandan is right on there, or just go down to your local nursery and get a bag of their "house mix"potting soil if they have one. It generally has no nutes, which is good because you know exactly whats in the soil. Nothing other than what you put in it.Try and get some worm castings as well. 25-30% EWC to soil.
As far as nutes go, If you can find the Espoma brand, you can't go wrong. 100% organic. Their PlantTone, BioTone and BulbTones are great, they also have blood, bone and kelp meals.

this is where you wanna research. in the sub cool threads

Personally I am using fox farm and I just love it.

And if you want to not spend an arm and a leg gathering all the materials for "professional" growing soil, just get some sort of potting soil, do about a 4:1 mix of soil/perlite, and mix in about a 1/4 cup bloodmeal per bag of soil. Avoid regular miracle grow potting soil, MG organic is ok to use, but generally any "potting" soil will have the trace neutrients you need + some perlite, but you need the extra perlite to make your soil light and airy to give those roots the oxygen they need, and good drainage. You can give nothing but water for a good 3 weeks with this soil setup, then slowly increase the neuts in your water starting at 1/4 strength over a 3 week period until you get up to full strength, being sure to use fresh water every other watering

Read up on alfalfa.
Read up on algae meal or algae tea.
Read up on endomycorrhizae, Glomus, Trichoderma.
Use lots of granular materials, course silica sand, perlite
Use an abundance of whole raw worm castings
Bone meal
Blood meal
Dolomite lime
Molasses

Read up on how to make teas for feeding your plant. Foliar feed with algae tea really helps to supplement the plant.

Less is more, find your Zen.

Subcools posts are a good place to start.

Man ive always used 50 light warrior and 50 ocean forest fox farms but this year i went with 50 707 roots organic and there soiless mix its got pearlite and coco and i have never been more happy cheers oh and for nutes its cutting edge solutions!!!!

mana mix by vital earth for me. its a soiless mix with coco, earthworm castings, glacial rock, and a small trace of 5-9-4 which cause of the air to root ratio supplied by mana mix wont burn your plants if given nutes during ANY stage of growth

I personally think it is best to go half soil half promix with dolomite lime. Instead of putting lots of amendmants in the soil, rely on fertilizers. Best is bacterial tea. Making it on your own is easy but some find it to be too much. If you want, take organic nutes that you would give.straight to the plant and make tea with it. Its less messy and easier to know what npk the plant is getting. The largest advantage to soil is the ability to make sure it has a largeicroherd of beneficial bacterias and fungi. Wine growers call it terre oir or something like that, hoe the soil affects the flavors in the end. Make use of teas and bacterial populations.
