Here’s what I’m using. Jobes 4-4-4 and jobes 2-5-3Has anybody found this stuff in the US or something similar? I want to go organic but don't want to deal with a bunch of smells or animal waste.
Ho yah but its worth it !Gaya green also has that strong smell?
Mixing first with EWC then spreading it out seems to tone it down a little.Gaya green also has that strong smell?
This is my mix exactly.2 cups kelp 1 cup frass,alfalfa, 444.Mixed into 2 cu/ft of base.No problems in veg but starting to run low at 4 weeks flower.Next round Ill top dress more and earlier.The tablespoon a week of 444 starting just before flower should help next time.Looking forward to running with Gaia in the spring - have 4-4-4, 2-8-4, alfalfa, kelp, insect frass, and galacia dust on the way- plan to mix up a living soil and cook for a couple of months before potting. Also planning to add myco to the roots before transplant.
Anyone have experience building a soil with Gaia - also I don't hear very much about insect frass but seems like a great input. Anyone use frass?
Thats great insight, thanks man - reading through the tread, the consensus tends to me that if lagging during flower, low available N is to blame? Right away I just assume needs P and K, but I imagine we're talking about overall vigour and not flower production, right?This is my mix exactly.2 cups kelp 1 cup frass,alfalfa, 444.Mixed into 2 cu/ft of base.No problems in veg but starting to run low at 4 weeks flower.Next round Ill top dress more and earlier.The tablespoon a week of 444 starting just before flower should help next time.
Was over 40 days,I have some now thats over 60 days. may have to top dress it lol.forgot to ask, how long do you cook your mix?
Every time I top dress my dry nutes (roots organics uprising) it straight up smells like dirty butt holes for a couple days. .Has anybody found this stuff in the US or something similar? I want to go organic but don't want to deal with a bunch of smells or animal waste.

I'm planning to do a 1:1:1 peat, EWC and perlite (would rather have pumice but can't source it locally and don't wanna pay shipping lol), I'm considering swapping out half of the peat for leaf compost, was also going to add biochar - thinking of it now, it could be a potential solution for lasting available N if you charge it properly.

Keep the humus part lower,i did two in veg,one 1/3 1/3 1/3 and one 40/20/40.less humus was more airy.
I follow @kratos015 posts,do a search.
I follow his thread as well, great infoKeep the humus part lower,i did two in veg,one 1/3 1/3 1/3 and one 40/20/40.less humis was more airy.

Not sure what i did in above post.
After reading here in the organic section for awhile ill definitely be looking for soil from the backwoods area.Snow covered now so will have to wait.Will be filling my veggie garden with it.I follow his thread as well, great info
That’s sorta what I’m thinking as well, taking the 1/3 ewc and splitting it with a leaf/pine needle compost (basically the organic layer of the forest around me), it’s consistency is extremely similar to peat so should lend itself to better aeration, but will provide additional micros and myco
My friend room is ready to go

Top dress 1/4 cup each product 444 , 284 and ewc .
Hello there. U seem to have some great advice on Gaia green is there anyway to can ask some questions about very similar set upI wouldn't even bother adding 25% 4-4-4 in last feed and would do this in my first feed of flowering instead.. The last month should be water only do let the plant deplete from ut available soil nutrient since there is still nitrogen in the 2-8-4 (1,82% insoluble nitrogen) which mean will be slow releas thru decomposition. Nutrient need to decompose in order to be available. I've been all about organic soil growing and have more then 20 years experience. And have and horticulture diploma. Organic is more forgiving. My suggestion would be to add some great white mychorize for the beneficial bacteria and the thricoderma that are within the mix, they will help in the breaking down of nutrient and make them aivailable faster to your plant without been harmful. Remeber to keep the last month for water only no nuts added for nutrient depletion and awesomeness .
