Im new to growing and to cann.com in general. Ive been reading up all of the wonderful information thats provided here and can across a question i wanted to ask to someone with more experience.

Is it possible to have a organic soil mix with enough nutrients to where addidtional ferts wouldnt be neccesary? If not neccesary would it still be possible to use other ferts to perhaps increase yeild? I got this one mix from another thread in here:

1 bag of FoxFarm Ocean Forrest pottting soil
1 bag of FoxFarm Planting Mix with bat guano and earthworm castings
1 bag of Light Warrior High Yeild blend
8-10 quarts of perlite.
1 cup of FoxFarm Peace of Mind Fruit and Flower Fertilizer (NPK 5-8-4)

If someone could gimme some feedback id appriciate it a bunch!

another thing to do is to put a small weaker layer of dirt between a stronger dirt and your plants roots, doing this will help in minimizing burning of the roots/plant from strong mixes. it gives the roots a chance to adapt to the stronger soil

No. Not for a newbie. You'll want to be able to control the nutes from week to week. Also, different strains of cannabis require different doses of nutes. (not all have the same nutritional needs)
Really, as a newbie you should get to know the cannabis plant and how to get it to harvest, before attempting a 'hot' soil mix. Too many things can, and likely will go wrong. If you don't know how to recognise or correct problems, it could be disasterous.

Get to know the basics before attempting the experiments. Is this a container grow, or an outdoor grow? The Peace of Mind is a granular time-release fert, isn't it? Not an optimum choice for container grows. (if the fert is too 'hot' for your plants, how are you going to get the granular fert out?)
Also, the more crap you add to your soil, the more difficult it is to troubleshoot problems.
You may read a lot of posts with various radical techniques. (some of my posts, for instance) This does not mean you should go out of your way to copy these advanced techniques, without a proper foundation of knowledge.
