Good to know! Ill have to give that a shot since the medium was mixed for veg and I just used it for transplanting. Ill likely top dress with 2 tbsp 2-8-4 per pot today to let things get going before the switch in a few days. Then continue on the top dress schedule every 3ish weeks aiming for abother 2 to 3 applications of 2 tbsp/g mixing the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 in varying proportions (last grow had 2 top dress applications after the switch to flower but was a bit short and the plants faded a bit earlier than I had planned)Also on using the gia I found hitting them with the 2-8-4 1-2 weeks before flower worked better. I Supplemented with alfalfa meal tea and Alaskan fish fertilizer if I got behind on the top dress with the gia.
The Gaja Green 2-8-4 is amazing stuff. It's a bunch of natural components all milled down together into a powder, all natural. If you cut off all nutes and use Fish Fertilizer in veg and weak Banana peel tea once a week in flower. And recycle your soil. Use half cup of Gaja for every 7 gallons of soil you load into a grow bag. And every run the buds will get sweeter and bigger as your soil starts to evolve. It took 3 runs for my soil to flame on! Never use chlorinated water. It's too easy to dechlor your water. And I add 1/8 teaspoon Dolomite lime to my 20 gallon Dechlorination Barrel and my Calcium uptake by the plant is great. My leaves don't fall off in flower until the trichomes become milky.Also on using the gia I found hitting them with the 2-8-4 1-2 weeks before flower worked better.

Heavy feeder .....1 o'clockHere is my plan:
6 Syrian (10 seeds, 1 mutant, 2 males 1 never germinated)
1 Zanjeer (10 seeds, accidentally let them get too dry I think and lost all but one just after germination)
Here are the plants, just transplanted to 2 gallon pots, switching to flower shortly (~1 week) once the roots get a bit of time to grow.
Currently sitting at 75f 50rh ~500ppfd 18 hours.

Please excuse the beat up look, Ive been busy and the Zanjeer (yellow plant) ate through the nutrients as it was a few weeks older than the others and I have been half assing the liquid fertilizer.
All the plants experienced a bit of phytotoxicity in a pre flower pest control spray that I probably mixed too strong.
Ive taken clones and I am flowering the plants that I grew from seed. I plan to have the flowers tested and then use the male plants to produce the next generation maybe saving some mother plants if there is something special.
Im hoping to find more balanced cannabinoid contents that are different from the modern hybrids.
Medium is promix BX with added perlite, gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4.
Haha yeah I slacked and that one ate all its nutrients ahead of the others as its around 3 weeks older. Its looking good now though, its the front right plant in most recent photos.Heavy feeder .....1 o'clock
Lol
They look marvelous baby
Yup these are the Syrian landrace from The Real Seed Company, planning to hit all the females with pollen for a nice seed run. I am also going to get the flowers tested so I am hoping if all goes well Ill have some seed with data on the mother. Planning to keep the seeds separate allowing for selection in the next round if it makes sense.Syrian pollen ya say?
I hate to say it but its human nature to exploit others. Dont assume otherwise unless you know them well, and even then they may just be waiting for the big score.To be fair the RSC lines were great I never got a chance to see him because I have a feeling they flourished and he kept them and he gave me what he gave me it is what it is I guess we're all due to meet that one guy huh?
