Gonna look into it.  I'm basically using your general mix right now but with the coir and perlite quantities swapped and osmocote and worm castings for the nutes instead of plant tone. 
Cheers!

Found the link.. But it links to a site focused around cannabis cultivation.  Is this OK to link too?  I have used this grow method for Tomatoes, Salvia, and Psychotria and it worked great.

I'm not sure what the other moderators think about posting links to cannabis websites for their non-cannabis info, iirc others have posted links to websites like that before but I can't remember the outcome. Do you think you're experienced enough with this method to type a thread for us explaining the ins and outs? That would make the link unnecessary.

I use to use castings in the mix as well.  After I ran out though I didn't add them since actual earthworms were present in my compost and continued to live in the tubs I added them too.  They even reproduced and thrived as well.

We've pretty much outlined the process and given enough Google hints that the proactive forum reader can get the jist of what we are talking about.  By all means if anyone has any questions though just ask.

I plan on Daisy chaining one of these systems into an aquaponics system in the future and will make a full thread with pictures when I do.  My plan is to allow a high nutrient plant (tomato) to thrive in an aquaponics system with no additional feeding or watering.
