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.

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.
