Official Gaia Green Grow Method

[Week4@inCharge]

How far does this go in your grows? I'm not sure what size I should buy. 2kg? 10kg? Let me know, thanks.

2kg is what most folks buy (indoors), almost 4.5 lbs tub. Top dressing is 1 tablespoon a gallon (when to top dress is another discussion). Preparing your soil before adding it to your pots is 3 tablespoons a gallon. You'd have to know the density to get an accurate number of tablespoons to 4.5lb. If it was sugar you'd have 163 tablespoons...but it's not sugar. So anybody's guess. How many pots are you preparing?

Small setup. 2x4 tent, I'll be popping 10 beans in solo cups. Then transferring to 1 gallon. Picking the best uniform 1 to 3 females. So at most 10 1 gallon pots. Then up to 3, 5 to 7gal pots for flower. Nothing major, just wanting to get things dialed in. This will be my first post prohibition run.

Lol ikr! But it's not what it seams perhaps I miss spoke. I'm popping 10 *regular photos. Maybe 7 will make it. I'll get *females into 1 gallons. Then cull my best 1 to 3 female plants. Then flower in 5 gallon. Lmao! 10 in a 2x4 is hilarious

I wouldn't use the Gaia Green until you've settled on what your gonna grow out as final cuts. The way your doing it some fresh bag soil will hold you over till then. The Gaia is a slow release and you wouldn't get any gains from it from the start imo. From all the up potting. Regulars are a lot of fun to play with. Worth the little inconvenience of picking out winners. They are so robust and grow super fast compared to feminized. What you growing out?

This is my dial in grow. Genetics are the freebies I received from GLG. GRAPE SODA something. Again this is for my baseline. Get my environment and feeding, air exchange,water etc. Frequency down. Practice some LST strategies. Imma play with some coco based soil mixes and go from there. I'm really gonna push the envelope with this first run.

Make sure to get some compost in there with the coco. There's a popular soil mix (Coots) that recommends at least a third of compost in the soil mix. You'll be better off for the entire grow if you mix in that compost.

I'm a newbie but I'm using gaia green for autoflowers with promix hp mixed with extra perlite and and 20% worm castings and some dolomite lime. I mixed 2 tablespoons of 4-4-4 per gallon and germinated directly into my final 3 gallon pots so i don't accidentally transplant shock and stunt the autoflowers. At 4 weeks I do 1.5 tbsp per gallon of 50/50 444/284

I'm at 4 weeks now in my 2x4 tent with 4 autoflowers and they are just starting to stretch and i'm about to top dress 50/50 of all purpose and bloom tomorrow. Every two weeks I've been doing a earthworm casting and kelp meal tea steeped in water from my rain barrel for 24-48 hours (more determined by my schedule than any reason to let it steep). 2 of my autoflowers are fast flowering and this is their last feeding for the other 2 xxl strains I will give them another tea in 2 weeks and another feeding in 3ish weeks with 1 tblsp per gallon of 284 bloom.

I sort of mixed and matched this method from mr canuks grow on youtube, and a blog called marijauanamama420 http://www.marijuanamama420.ca/my-nutrient-schedule/ and my own experience using pro mix to grow fruit and veggies in my garden.

I'm using this method this year and having great results.

I'm planning on trying this Pro Mix HP here soon. Heard nothing but good things about it.

Just finishing up my run. Dank as usual.
This time I top dressed double the usual amount at week 3 I believe so I could skip the last top dress. It worked on most cuts but a couple of the bigger plants look like they aren't super happy. But they are all dank none the less.

Here's a pick of Chimera 3 I think

I’ve been having the same idea and had just posted asking bout this last night I plan to use pro mix hp+ with the mycos and the Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 with worm casting and Dolomite lime what do you ph your water to I like around 6.2-6.4 would that be okay to use with the pro mix I’m a newer grower and used to using coco and perlite 70/30 ratio and liquid nutes

If your bottle feeding you probably don't need the worm castings. Bottle feeding and organic feeding are two entirely different concepts. Both will get you the end result but the ideas and philosophy of them are two different animals. Pick one and stay the course.

Currently I use liquid but here in the next few months I’ve been wanting to switch it up to more pro mix hp and Gaia green dry amendments

Currently I just use coco and pearlite and liquid nutes and but plan to switch to pro mix and Gaia green my next grow

Finished up last flower run. Used 444 and a couple of extras plus top dressed a few times in flower with 284
Here's some pics

beautiful I’m always been a fan of purples and reds what’s your opinion on using coco and pearlite 70/30 ratio. with the Gaia green nutes and then some worm castings and Dolomite lime?

And would pro mix hp work better with the Gaia green or would the coco I know when it comes to dry nutes different soils can play a diffrence

I don't see to many people succeed with coco and dry amendments. I may be wring but to me pro mix is a much better option, I've witnessed alot more success with pro mix/dry amendments vs coco/dry amendments

Mr canuck originally tried coco and hand a hard time. Then gaia gave him living soil to use and he did much better.

Ahh. Yes, then the worm castings would be very nice.

I could be wrong ..so maybe I should just ask about it instead, isn't pro mix coco as well?
