Blood meal is a nutrient source high in Nitrogen.

Bone meal is a nutrient source high in Phosphorus.

You will need other things to make a "soil-mix" besides just these. These items may include but are not limited to perlite, vermiculite, peat, wormcastings. You could also amend an existing store bought soil-mix with a little of each.

Personally, I make the soil as mild (nutrient wise) as possible and mostly rely on liquid feeding to get the job done.
