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?
10 plants in a 4x2... o .O ?
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.
