Ho yeah i love gaia green !

Product i use
-promix hp
-Gaia green 4-4-4
-Gaia green 2-8-4
-Worm casting
-Tap water no need to ph mine at 7,3ph

From clone straight in 5 gallon fabric pot
DRAGON PUNCH last harvest

Sleeping girl 25 days in the 5 gallon !

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 at the same time that you water the medium.
Its good to have big under pot and To have a little extra water in it that mean that all the soil is wet no dry spot.

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 1/4 cup and 284 1/4cup .

Then i harvest at week 9 or a bit more

Last harvest Dragon punch ...real dragon !Lol

No need for luck with that recipe and dont add nothing else !

So u keep same ratio of 444 and 284 no matter what stage your in ? Flower or veg? Why only half cup worm casting in ammend ?if Iam only top dressing and not amending due to using ffof how much u suggest I too dress wmc ? And have u ever thought or trying 3/4 cup 444 to 1/4 cup 284 in veg then switch that around in flower ? I read lots ppl doing that and gaia green suggests same. But your bud looks like fire tho so maybe no need Success is right. LOl Thanks. U use any microbial inoculates ?

And also I was told that’s gaia takes about a week to break down. If u have any tips for a rookie please share. Growers love

remember he's using clones. if starting from seed and then up-potting before flip you should adjust your ammendments accordingly.

that's how i plan on doing my next run with the Gaia and Promix HP... mix smaller pots with 444 to start and for veg then mix half and half 444/284 for up-pot week or so before flip. top dress 284/ewc 2ish weeks into flower and then again at 5ish weeks.
it's a loose plan.

I herd bloom works with the all purpose cuz N still needed. Have u used 100% bloom before with no burn ?

Like any dry fertilizer it takes time to break down.I pre mix the gaia well ahead of time.So say 15 gallons promix 1.5 444 1.5 cups bloom 6-8 cups ewc moisten and let sit for 30+ days.Then transplant into 1-2 weeks before flip.

i have not. im new to it.

i usually follow the instructions on the package until I've had more experience.
from what I've read in a few places, though, is either straight 444 or a 75/25 mix for veg, 50/50 mix for start of flower and then 25/75 or straight 284 to finish flower.
but, like I said, I'm new to it.
steven seems like he's on the right path, though.

If you like your plant to get yellow just do what you want in it my mix work for all strain ans and type off grow no need for more or less if you use less 444 you get lock top and then yellow very fast told you.

444 in veg for seed then up pot or top dress if you start in final pot keep it simple guys .

I try just 284 and worm casting and they go yellow so fast !

More Gaia green worm casting in veg burn my leaf !
And 444 +284= 6-12-8

THÉ only thing i would add is a bit off unsulfured molases in the begining off flower .

Been there done that haha

You can veg in 444 usually 1 gallon then up pot to 5+gallon 1-2 weeks before flip.For me the one gallon is a mix of old stuff and new,whatever you have will work.Just keep it light and dont add a bunch of compost to it.

I agree with @swedsteven to keep the ratio of 4-4-4/2-8-4 50/50 for most of the grow. And his schedule is on point for big plants.
I also played with leaning heavy on the bloom and fazing out the 4-4-4 and had some plants, mostly my Sativa’s, faded out and were yellow at harvest. My indicas however finished fine.

I had bought one of ea bag 10kg,noticed the 444 getting used up so started mixing them.I use kelp, alfalfa and frass also so theirs lots of N right to the end.

i appreciate your anecdotal evidence and will give 50/50 a try for myself. thank you

This was a couple weeks before harvest and these Sativa coco banners really faded fast. Finished up ok but they were eating up all their N and still had burnt tips. I learned a good lesson.

What caused the burnt tips?

High concentration of nutrients

Will that happen if I let it go a little too dry? I ran a pre mix called kyrptonite and had tips look burnt.
