Can't wait to start my journey!
Can't wait to start my journey!Glad I can help others who might want to try this route! It was pretty painful once I hit week 3 of flower the first attempt I had with the Gaia Green, but I was being "careful" and used WAY less than what I should have. I'm sure there will be variance from strain to strain and environment to environment but at least there's a baseline here for people to start with.

This link you posted has good info! I'm starting to have a better understanding what feed your soil actually means.
I was mad excited during veg, but once i flipped, the nightmares started.
Nice! Lots of good info.View attachment 1269875
This chart is pretty cool. Also explains the usual "week 3 of flowering" issues a lot of people experience!

Have you grown using salts fertilizer like Masterblend?
I hear ya on the 3 different strains… I did the exact same thing. It seemed like a GREAT ideaI haven’t read through the entire thread but I think I’ve found a treasure here.
I’m using the same Gaia Green (veg & bloom), EWC, just a bit of cal mag, kelp meal, and a tiny percentage of Bat Guano (10-3-1).
The big difference is I’m growing in Coco….Fox Farms 70/30. I jumped in before I read the many negative reviews of a coco w/ dry organic amendments…..
So for over 12 weeks I’ve been waiting on my grow to implode but it hasn’t happened. As a matter of fact, it’s been the most vibrant and vigorous grow I’ve personally done.
I water similar to soil….I feel the weight of the pot but am cognizant of the coco drying out in places. I’ve settled into every 3 days. I PH my water to 6.0 and have not had the first blemish.
I get a fair amount of runoff, which is likely washing out some of my amendments but to make sure there are no dry spots I have no choice.
I ended up vegging for about 8 weeks because I was waiting on a couple of autos to finish……and flipped 4 weeks ago tomorrow.
What has surprised me was my initial amendments in their final 5 gal pot, lasted all the way through week 2 of flower….basically I transplanted into 5 gal of amended coco and didn’t top dress until 6 weeks later.
I was sure the runoff situation would leech out some of the amendments and require me to top dress more frequently.
Anyway, I included pics from yesterday….like a fool I’m growing 3 different strains. Don’t ask why, it just happened that way.
I look forward seeing what everyone else has going on and picking their brains. View attachment 1269891View attachment 1269892
Do you Ph your water? i have my tap water coming in at 8, usually takes 3 to 4 drops of ph down to get it to 6.5
do you top dress your gypsum and epsom salt the same time or separatly? thanks for the reply! gonna be trying your grow to the tee!!Most organic grows should be self regulating to a certain extent especially if your base soil contains lime. My tap water comes in around 7.8-8 and I never adjust or check my pH.
do you top dress your gypsum and epsom salt the same time or separatly? thanks for the reply! gonna be trying your grow to the tee!!
sweet thanks bro! last question, for your epson salts and gypsum is the dosage per gallon? so bi weekley itll be 3 tbs each for 3 gallons?Yep they get mixed together at times!

alright thanks! ill be doing the bare minimum for now, dont have a dehumidifier so if i get those big nugs on what im growing i dont think my 2 x 4 can handle the humidity lolThe Epsom/Gypsum and Rock Dust are flat dosed so not dependent on pot size(s). You could always use more based on what you are seeing with the plant
I am going to play around with doubling the amount given near week 3 or 5 of flower though on my next runs
Getting ready for my 2nd organic grow. On my last grow I noticed a huge difference in the same strain in a larger vs a smaller pot ( 7g vs 3g). This makes me think I should do 10g pots, perhaps 2 plants in a 4x4 tent, vs my typical 4 plants in 5-7g pots.
Just wanted to bounce that off folks if they have any suggestions.
