Baby Shark Auto on Gaia Green and Recharge. I will have to amend it before long. It's around 20 days right now and pretty much been on full ignore. The wife has been in the hospital so the grows become unimportant compared to her,,,, there nothing. I can say without a doubt all grows will be on Gaia Green, Earth Dust or the same type of system. The days of bottle crap, mix, waste time and money are gone.

Oh, I'm sticking with your method. My dumbass will screw it up if I mess with it.Just mix the amount of required nutrients into your 5 gallon container with soil before transplanting, I just use a smaller container to pre-mix with some soil because it's easier than lugging around a 4x5 gallon pots or carrying all of my nutrients close to my pots.
You could do this, nothing says you can't. Personally I like the roots to grow into the nutrient rich soil and it hasn't caused any issues yet. Try it and see if it works for you then stick with whatever method you prefer!

I'm one too! Nice to meet you.Ty for clarifying i'm a dumbass
Hi!!! lolllllI'm one too! Nice to meet you.
What are you growing in?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 sell their product in the USA as well. They have a lot of products to offer and you may find a specific use for some of them due to your variables but I am just going to focus on what I personally use in my stack.

Sprout phase, ~1 week: NO nutrients are being added to the growing medium. Earth worm castings & cotyledons provide more than enough nutrition for the first 2 weeks of a seeds life
-transplant to 1gallon-
Early veg phase, 4 weeks: amend 3tbsp of 100% All Purpose 4-4-4 per gallon of medium eg. 3tbsp of 4-4-4 for a 1gallon container
Late veg phase if needed, 4 weeks: top dress 3tbsp of 100% All Purpose 4-4-4 per gallon of medium eg. 3tbsp of 4-4-4 for a 1 gallon container
-transplant to 5gallon-
Early flower phase, 1 week before flipping lights: amend 3tbsp of 50% All Purpose 4-4-4 and 50% Power Bloom 2-8-4 per gallon of medium eg. 8tbsp of 4-4-4 and 8tbsp of 2-8-4 for a 5gallon container
Mid flower phase, week 3 or 4 of flower: top dress 3tbsp of 25% All Purpose 4-4-4 and 75% Power Bloom 2-8-4 per gallon of medium eg. 4tbsp of 4-4-4 and 12tbsp of 2-8-4 for a 5gallon container
Late flower phase, sativa plants: if you have a sativa plant chances are they may need an additional weeks of growing time so you could do a light top dress 2tbsp of 100% Power Bloom 2-8-4 per gallon of medium eg. 10tbsp of 100% Power Bloom 2-8-4 for a 5gallon container
-harvest-
This is the basic feed schedule and this is a FULL STRENGTH feeding regiment meaning you are pushing your plant pretty hard. Certain strains and different growing environments may mean that you might only need to use 2/3 of what I have here for amounts. I recommend starting off with 2/3 of what is listed and increasing to full amounts if you're certain that your plants can handle it.
Additional supplements that I use are:
Mycorrhizae
I generously dust the root ball EVERY time I transplant and I also add a couple scoops into my soil mix any time I amend some soil to be going into a new container. Do not underestimate your rhizosphere
Epsom Salts - Magnesium Sulfate
LEDs increase the demand for Mg and this helps cover that demand. Overall plant health and nutrient uptake seems to improve when adding 1tbsp of Epsom Salt every 2 weeks
Gypsum - Calcium Sulfate
Decreases soil salinity and improves soil structure while also providing Calcium and Sulfate. 1tbsp of Gypsum every 2 weeks
Rock Dust Blend - micronutrients and humic acid
Used primarily to supplement micronutrients that may be lacking. Overall plant health and lushness improved since I started adding 2tbsp every 2 weeks
Pretty much once you get started you are either amending or top dressing in 4 week blocks, adding supplemental nutrients every 2 weeks, and then you just water your plants. Good luck and happy growing!
What are you growing in?
I was meaning like promix, gaia green soil? My apologies should have said grow medium.Indoors in a tent and/or closet
promix is soil and gaja green is dry ammedments., Read his 1st post on 1st page.I was meaning like promix, gaia green soil? My apologies should have said grow medium.
I don’t see that on my end. Am I missing something?promix is soil and gaja green is dry ammedments., Read his 1st post on 1st page.
Nice write up on the introduction @Shaded_One
How are you mixing this? How do you do you the exact amount for 5 gallon pots?So I already have it in my DM's and your Sig but just incase anyones wondering you just mix this as ur basic soil: Basic Soil Mix: 50% ProMix BX, 25% EWC, 25% Perlite
I was meaning like promix, gaia green soil? My apologies should have said grow medium.
So are you saying half the bag of promix, quarter of the other 2 and mix? Apologies for all the questions. Have been wanting to switch for awhile just wanted more information.Basic Soil Mix: 50% ProMix, 25% EWC, 25% Perlite - I mix this in a large Rubbermaid container and then fill my pots up from the large bin once it's all thoroughly mixed.

Thanks very much. Exactly what I was needing. Much appreciated!No those are just the ratios for the base mix! So for example I fill this container half up with promix bx, then a quarter with earth worm castings, and the last quarter is perlite.
18 gallon container
9 gallon of promix
4.5 gallon of ewc
4.5 gallon of perlite

Thanks very much. Exactly what I was needing. Much appreciated! Also is the 4” inch nursery pots what do you mix in there, like what ratios or promix and ewc?
Damn, should've done more research before starting my first grow lol.
Great thread and thank you for taking the time to educate us newbies.
