I'm from the United States and can't access Gaia Green Living Soil. I've been working on creating a similar "pre-amended" soil mix, currently using a blend of 40% HP ProMix Mycorrhiza, 30% FoxFarm Happy Frog, 20% earthworm castings, and 444 (3 tablespoons per gallon). I plan on eliminating the Happy Frog from the mix.
Here’s my 2 questions for you:
I'm wondering whether I could add both 444 and 284 bloom to my original 30lb starting soil recipe for 6, 5 gallon plants. Then just go on as normal using only 444 until late veg, and then top dressing BOTH at 3 tbsp per gal during pre and mid-flowering, while also continuing to use main “pre amended” soil that contains both every time I pot up from the start.
Alternatively, rather than preammending with 284, I would be adding a variety of ingredients instead, for instance purchasing "Down To Earth" Alfalfa, Humic acid, Kelp, Oyster shell, etc., that include anything listed on the Gaia Green living soil bag ingredients. Excluding anything that is already in 444 or 284 bloom as to not cause excessive nutrients
What's your perspective on these approaches?
