soil soil making for transplant

Everything has been sown! Most of them are ready for transplant which i will do today. One question on the soil mix though. What should it consist of? I read the mix thread but am a bit overwhelmed with all of them. I have potting soil, perlite, The mix i started seedlings in (peat and some other fluff non organic matter), bone meal, and worm casings.

I have a glog in that subforum where i asked these same q.
 
I do 3 parts potting mix and 1 part perlite. I always try to get something that says potting mix and not potting soil.
 
What of liquid nutrition and ph adjustment? Not sire of my soil admixtures can level out the ph to a pepper standard. I do have a ph meter that i use for my sauces. Not sure if that applies to tHis.
 
I never have adjusted ph with store bought potting mix/perlite.
 
I use 5-1-1 fish fertlizer or earth juice grow 2-1-1 from true leaves to flowers form, then I switch over to texas tomato food after that.
