I've never really had great success with soil mixes but subcool has a good tutorial here (http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=301954). I personally like plain ol' fox farm ocean forest with nothing added. Just use my good tap water ph'd to 6.5-6.6 with a 1/4-3/4 strength solution of big bloom and tiger bloom every other watering! Plants seem to respond well!
