Adding other nutes to Gaia Green

Phreakshow · Dec 28, 2024

I'm currently in 1 week into flower. I have some seabird guano and wondered if it can be used or does Gaia Green got it covered. My plants look great but I don't want to over fertilize.

Are you using gaia green soil or just the all purpose fert.? 4-4-4

All purpose 4-4-4 and power bloom 2-8-4.

Then that's all you want. I would not mess with using anything more, that's good stuff on it's own.

Yep it’s plenty and makes a great starting base and is useable as a complete mix … but I add so much more, but have done plenty of runs with just Gaia and they’ve done very well also

Lots of trial and error to balance once you start adding more

If you want to start playing with adding in stuff I suggest doing it on. Single plant and taking lots of notes to see the effects of your changes to the mix so you can adjust each run, very fun and awesome to see results of good mixes

I add to my Gaia Green mix. But I'm not anywhere close to sane. I use Ocean Forest, Happy Frog and other retail compost mixes and reclaimed soil. I add Gaia Green, DE, worm castings, sometimes bat guano, recharge, Mykos, Kelp, Sampler packs of stuff if I get any. This time it was a packet of Azos and CalCarb from Extreme Gardening. When I feed I use the Gaia Green then add a handful of worm casting or bat guano and mid grow add a cup of DE. When I water I might use Recharge or a couple of tablespoons of molasses or some Power Si. I don't call my soil living soil or even super soil. I refer to it as one arm super soil with no fingers. I do tend to run on the hot side and have nute burn on the tips of leaf petals. But I have been doing it this way long enough to know I'd rather be a bit rich on the nutrients then be low and behind the 8 ball and chasing the bump so to speak. Nothing happens fast when using any of the organic dry ferts on the market. Here are picks of a mix I have setting here cooking right now I made up a week or so ago for transplanting a GG4 from a 7 gal. bag to a 15 gal. bag I want to completely fill up a 3 x 3 tent with and let it run wild. After the transplant operation I have another bag of Ocean Forest to go in the tote. Add some more Gaia Green and let it cook and be ready when a grow finishes out in the 2 x 4. I told you I wasn't sane!

I know I've been successful when I'm done with a grow and I pull the root ball out and all that's left is mostly perlite a bit of dirt and silica. All the organic matter has done it's job and the plants have been dinning right. Good Luck!
