Long time follower, first time poster. I joined RIU just because of this Gaia Green post and wanted to be a part of it lol. Soooo much good info and I'm only on page 12!!
I've been a hydro grower since 2005 and have made the switch to Gaia Green in early 2020 and haven't looked back. Last grow I feel like I mixed in too many random amendments and through my soil web off. This grow I'm trying to keep it simple and am hoping I can get my yields up.
Specs as follows
Lighting- 1 315w CMH for Veg and adding 1 more for flowering
Medium- Promix HP, perlite, casting/compost blend. Amended with Gaia All Purp and Power Bloom, mineralized phosphate, rock dust and oyster shell flower.
Water- Non PH'd RO. (2ppm and 6.5-7.0ph)
Containers- Solo cup for seedlings, then 1 gal plastic pots for early veg then 10 gal fabric pots to finish veg and flower.
Microbes- Compost teas every odd week (week 1, week 3 etc. Microbial Mass every even week (week 2, week 4 etc)
Day temp-22-25c
Night temp- 19-21c
Humidity- 40%rh
I water as needed with un ph'd RO water. Often giving less than what I should but I've found overwatering really sets the plants back in this medium. Every 1st and 3rd week they get a light compost tea (just compost and water with a tiny bit of Molasses).
I have to say these are my best looking plants so far however I've noticed my leaves taking on some different coloration. Can anyone give me some insight or am I worrying too much?
