Official Gaia Green Grow Method

From what I have red is that organic grows there is no need for run off. Run off is for salts and to relive salt build up. Which there’s no salt build up in organics. Roughly half gallon per 5 gallon pot is what I seem to hear a lot. Organics needs to be moist all the time. No need for dry periods like salts in soil Dry times kill microbial life or leaves them dormant. But Iam also a newbie. This also my first organic grow.

Cool man. I know in coco/dry amendments I see most ppl don't water til run off. I didn't know if that's the same with a mostly peat medium.. thanks for input!

THE RECIPE FOR SUCCES

Each 5 gallon off promix hp add 1 cup off gaia 444 and half cup off worm casting. And then tap water until the under pot hold a bit off water and mix it in Well.

After 2 to 3 Week topdress gaia green 444 1/4cup and 284 1/4Cup and worm casting 1/4cup

After 1 week i flip 12/12 and i top dress at week 2 and 5 off flowering gaia green 444 1/3cup and 284 1/3cup .

If you dont push your light as strong as me you will need only 1/4cup instead off 1/3 cup in flower.

Week 8 12/12


1 or 2 week and chop chop

I often grow that messy style too, but once I woke up to find literally every cola down in a 5x5 mass of fallen bud. So I had to employ the string and yoyos and whatever else I could prop them up with. Took me an entire day to fix. I find these messes often yield the best for some reason though. That grow netted over 3 pounds of trimmed dry bud from the 4 plants in there, plus lots of popcorn bud for bubble hash:

No i dont ph my tap water i use my cold tap water ;
130ppm
7,3 ph
I Lime my reuse promix every 6 month or second grow to buffer the ph .
And when its not time to lime the soil i use a little volcanic rock dust in the firstmix before transplant.
Peace !

End of week 3. Only fed them some molasses and 2 plants got some cal/mag this week to try and correct rust spots.

I’m Sure you get asked this all the time, but what kind of lights are those? CFL or COB?

I thought you might have some critical kush going too.

Oh haha. No, I don't.

They're just regular household LED light bulbs bought from local sources like dollar stores, Walmart, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, and Costco. I've used them in one form or another for years and they were my first foray into LED after HPS.

Yeah I'm definitely curious to which would be better. Won't be for a few months because I I this run and the next to complete before I'll have all the same pheno but I'm gonna give it a try!

They're looking really good.

What do your cal-mag deficient rust spots look like? I'm getting some rust spots and weird looking leaves on a few of the lower leaves.

Gia Green is a good dry nute to start off with. Depending on where you are at in agriculture you might recommend other DRY fertilizers. The point is just use it people it's not rocket science to use a simple dry fertilizer with the ratio's pretty much on the back.

Are all burger joints created equal no.
Are all car brands created equal no.

Slightly differences in Npk ratio's make differences, in end taste but in general this is the all goto brand for simplicity.

Started with little brown spots but is continuing to get worse. Fingers crossed that the calmag I gave them 3 days ago will stop the problem. I'll be posting some updates tonight when I get back from work.

Your leaves look more like a Potassium deficiency,Just my thoughts.

Safe to say the calmag didn't help?Dark green on new growth from the N in calmag.No burnt tips.The Neptune along with the dry should have enough.Perhaps excess of Ca? Lights too close? pH off?. Just throwing out solutions/possibility's.I really dont know.

Seems to me some kind of phosphorus def... or something around it.
Cause potassium def starts at the bottom of the plant and its burning from the outside in. Google it

I'll have to definitely consider that, because mine doesn't look like @lazypothead420 pictures. And its not recognizable from when I had Cal-Mag deficiencies in coco before.

I still see some progression going on. Now another 2 are getting little brown spots but only a few. I was foliar feeding them 2x weekly up until week 2 flower and shortly after that I noticed the brown spots starting to appear. I didnt add any lime to my mix and they had a 9 week veg so possibly depleted what was in the fox farm. Light is about 14 inches from the affected ones while I have a couple that are way closer with no issues. I'm gonna do a slurry test on them tonight so I'll add that info when I get it. Here's a couple pics from today

And some bud porn... beginning of week 5
