5 gal pots.What size are your pots?
You don't mix Gaia Green into the water. You add it to the soil when you make up your pots and top dress and water in from then on out. So if I have read your post right your soil is Fox Farms Ocean Forrest. It's referred to by many as a hot soil. But if you put good healthy seedlings in it going from say solo cups to 4 gal to 7 gal plus pots at 1 to 3 weeks old they will need some nutrients right off the bat. Ocean Forrest has a jolt of food in a oragnic way built in to the soil but depletes faster than most think as they slowly go into low nitrogen and phosphate starvation. Gaia Green is a basic organic amendment. So it really needs to go into the soil before it's needed so it can get to making the good stuff the plants need. It's not instance gratification. Same with Earth Dust and others. For help right now I would work in a 1/2 cup of worm casting with your fingers into the first inch or so of the soil add 2 tbsp of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2 tbsp of Gaia Green 2-8-4. Your lagging bad on the nutrients. And it will only get worse from here. The worm casting will give you a fast shot of nitrogen. And water it in. A picture of the plants as a whole gives us a better over all look at whats going on. A single leaf leaves a lot to guess...5 gal pots.
i need to add nutes to the water but the plants only take 1/2 gallon max of water
just wondering how much to mix in the water

looks OK to me...I started using TerpTea on this grow and I'm impressed with how the plants have done. Are you oxygenating your water before giving it to the plant, i.e. air-stone aquarium pump for 24 hours prior? It makes a huge difference, wish I'd started doing it earlier but I have a weed-based learning problem.here's a shot of the girl. overall i'm happy, i just wanted to avoid chasing issues.
ignore the white spots on the leaves, i panicked and sprayed milk mixture when i thought i might have powdery mildew. lol
funny you mention that, i just heard about using a bubbler yesterday and am getting onelooks OK to me...I started using TerpTea on this grow and I'm impressed with how the plants have done.

solar w/electric backup I am a neat freak (not)funny you mention that, i just heard about using a bubbler yesterday and am getting one
Don't need hurricain force wind in the grow enviroment. Just a bit of air movement,,, just a wisp of a breeze.sucks having to learn things the hard way.
today i learned to shut off all fans before top dressing with GAIA.
i spent 2 hours with a new make up brush ( which i stole from my daughter) dusting off all the leaves because that shit is so fine it covered everything.
some day i'll get this all down pat. lol
