Do these look ready for first nutrient top dress? Switching from GH Flora 3 part to organic Gaia Green.

These two blueberry muffins we very slow taking hold in their final pots of happy frog and perlite. They had a little yellowing and have been getting a steady diet of 3ml micro, grow, and bloom. 1ml calmag and 1ml silica on plain watering day, without nutrients. Ready to top dress now with Gaia Green 70% grow 30% bloom for next 3-4 weeks.

Are you still vegging or did you flip? I'm organic but I don't use Gaia. My 1st top dress is usually 1 week before flip, then every 3 weeks after. Not sure if Gaia is the same way. If you make a thread about this in the organic section, you will probably get more replies.

Good luck.

No, plants are just over a month. Short and busy. I feel like I want at least another month to flip. Has been getting gh flora trio at 1/4 strength a couple weeks. All green and lush is appearance. I did the top dress of 1 tbsp per gallon. They also have a reccomendation for pre amending all the soil but I did not as I like happy frog with 70% perlite alone to control nutrients. With the organic ferts I imagine it will be at least a couple weeks to breakdown and start showing. The mix was the suggested 70 grow 30 bloom. I’m thinking I won’t top dress again until transition at 50-50. Then a third top dress at 70 bloom and 30 grow mid flower. I like the organic route so I don’t have to worry about nutrients feeds often, and I can supplement my extras in my plain waterings.
