Nutrients Has anyone made their own version of FF Big Bloom?

Hello All,

I am a huge fan of Fox Farm Big Bloom in particular, of the trio. I use the heck out of the stuff, going through multiple gallons per grow cycle in just a 4x8 tent.
I read the ingredient list on the bottle, and of course they aren;t going to list everything they put in it, I wouldn't. However, the ingredients they do list are easily obtainable, and relatively inexpensive in bulk separately. I know they use Norwegian kelp and worm castings and Peruvian seabird guano.
I am going to make my own, maybe 5 gallons at a time. I would appreciate any input and/or experience with doing this.
Don't be shy, lets hash this out people! LOL

As an example of possible discussion: I think I would probably use 3 pounds of wormcastings, a third cup each of seabird and bat guano, third cup of Azomite, third cup of hard rock phosphate, half cup of bone meal, third cup of kelp. and myself, I would add 2 Tablespoons of unsulphered mollases. All of this, mixed with 5 gallons of water with a high speed electric paddle stick for a day, then bubbled individually just before each feeding.
Whatcha think?
