Growing with Gaia Green - Shaded's Method

[Mikedin]

Your plants look good, but the quantities of gypsum and rock dust aren't per gallon. They're per pot. You also didn't list Epsom salt, which adds magnesium. Be sure to amend it before and during the first few weeks of flowering. I prefer to add it to the water. One tablespoon per gallon is recommended.

You’re right about the epsom I didn’t see it said per gallon, also when I was running rh is when shaded was active I remember updating the recipe we changed it to 2 tbs epsom 2 tbs gypsum I believe

I’ll look back I may even still have the PM between me and shaded about us talking about it back then

Oh damn i was certain it was per gallon when mixing and then per pot when top dressing. Yes i intended to mix epsom salt in my water at week 2, and then biweekly from there.

This way of growing is such low maintenance im loving it. hoping flower goes well!

Thanks

Thanks. I'm interested in knowing what was decided, too.

I doubt you'll have a problem. Organic growing is forgiving. Just watch to see how the plants respond. Chances are they'll be fine.

I've found that the plants have a high demand for nutrients, especially magnesium, while stretching and early flower. I've seen some research that indicates the reason has to do with the LED light spectrum. That may be changing with the newer lights, though. It wouldn't hurt, however, to water in some Epsom salt (1 tbsp per gallon) before flipping the light. Excess magnesium usually isn't a big problem.

Will definitely add epsom salt earlier than i planned then.

In my previous grow (using bottled nutes) i had massive magnesium problems with my plants during the first 3 weeks of flower as i was increasing my light intensity (ACI Evo 8). I definitely dont want that to happen again.

I had the same problem with bottled nutrients, aka synthetic nutrients. This is a big part of the appeal of organic growing.

Hahaha that brings back memories! A few years ago when I was figuring out my style I did the exact same thing with epsom and gypsum per gallon instead of pot
Not only on the initial amending, but also on the top dresses lol

I use a TBLSP of Epsom Salts per gallon of water, every watering. Along with Gaia Green 4-4-4, and Azomite.

I started out 1 TSP per gallon, for seedlings, in RO water, and 18oz Solo cups. Magnesium is extremely important. Quickly used up by marijuana, and is one of, if not the #1 container growing plant deficiency. Weed, is also a Mg hungry plant.

Day 7 of flower, growing has never been so easy!

Plants are happy and so am I.

Next watering im top dressing 25% 4-4-4 and 75% 2-8-4 with some epsom salt and EWC.

Had to switch to tap water. I now use 1 tsp gallon epsom salts.
