I'm trying to decide which flowering food will be best for my 3 cannabis plants and eventually 4 strawberries, some lavender and mint and wildflowers.

These are my two favorites so far, but I'm open to suggestions.

Forgot to mention I'm using soil.

Also that I'm using Sure Start from EB Organics 4-6-2 for the duration of vegetation and 1-1-1 Liquid Pump and Grow Dr Earth as a biweekly supplement

I've heard their Flower Girl and Premium Gold are both sufficient for weed.

This is what I use. One application a week to 10 days before the flip and a second application a month after the flip / end of stretch. I use their Recipe 420 Bhang soil too... Fed my winter grow through 3 months of veg with nothing else but water. https://www.ebstone.org/product/recipe-420-ultra-bloom-fertilizer/

How did you settle on Sure Start? Are you familiar with their Recipe 420 line? If you like the Sure Start I'd recommend trying the Bhang Formula dirt, or if you haven't fully mastered your watering technique, go with a bag of the Hi-Por.

I discovered it by accident. One day I was at our local DIY chain and saw they carried it so I gave it a try and it's worked well. Apparently there's a lot of people who grow weed around here, lol. Only reason I can think why they stock it.

"It's great for tomatoes!" (wink wink)

I just happened to buy it on sale at a local garden center.

I guess I could buy another dry fertilizer, but it seemed to work well last time.

I'll look into what you mentioned.
I don't need more soil at the moment though. ā˜®ļø

I like that.

Can't seem to find a 1 lb bag of it though.

Smallest they have is 4 lbs so far.

I found this deal on Amazon for Gaia Green Combo. I already have a microbe package so this would be good fertilizer from what I understand.

I use these and have no complaints. I use other nutrients, too, but these will get you through a grow. Keep in mind that most soils have amendments, as well.

This would last me quite a few grows.

It goes quickly. I started with these, later went to buckets, and still later bought 10Kg bags.

Anyway... Moving on... Here's a good thread about Gaia Green. I suggest reading the first few pages and then skipping down to the last two or three.

Growing with Gaia Green - Shaded's Method

Hello and welcome to my "Growing with Gaia Green" guide! Figured I would just make a post that can be referenced instead of constantly writing this out in DM's or threads. Gaia Green products are 100% organic dry amendments for cannabis use. They are a Canadian based company but they also...

Nah if you have found something that worked for you and it was easy enough to use and reasonably priced, USE IT.

BUT if you want to hunt for something that might work better, you can select something to try, get a small bag and a couple plants you're willing to sacrifice, feed them and see how it goes alongside using what you regularly use to compare. There's a couple different ones I plan to try this summer but while I do, I'll have my regular run going using Recipe 420 so I know I will have good dope to smoke one way or another come harvest.

Well all I have right now for fertilizer is the sure start 4-6-2 and doctor Earth 1-1-1 pump and grow liquid.

I used that last time for my whole grow of 3 cannabis plants but I think I would have benefitted from a dedicated flower fertilizer formula. Also I think the sure start seems like it's better to use the first couple of weeks and then switch to a more balanced fert.

That's why my interest was peaked with the Gaia Green package for $21

I could just get the 4 pound bag of formula 420 bloom and switch to that from sure start.

I'm only going to be growing 3 cannabis plants(3 gallon pots ), 4 strawberry plants (1 gallon pots) and 1 lavender plant (3 gallon pot) plus a few smaller mint plants (not sure which size pot yet) and a wildflower vase. ā˜˜ļøšŸ˜Šāœ³ļø

So something that would cover the gauntlet would be better.ā˜®ļø

So Amazon is selling the combo pack Gaia Green 1 pound of each 444 and 284
For $21, that seems like a good deal for all my plants.

My soil already has worm castings, peat moss and coconut coir and other organic matter and molasses and microbes in it.

Just needed a good solution for my small apartment garden.
