Official Gaia Green Grow Method

I just finished my grow of 3 clones. They were 3 different strains, which doesn’t really make it apples to apples but 2 of them were in fabric pots and the 3rd in an air pot.
The plant in the air pot ended up blowing away the other 2. These were all Trustfall clones and he’s one accomplished and thorough pheno finder…..all of his clones are A++…..so all 3 produced some great buds w/ insane trich coverage, but the one in the air pot grew healthier and the buds filled out noticeably better than the other 2.
Like I said, it’s not apples to apples but my next run will be 3 air pots.
you are correct. I am full air pots most 5 gallon. Even my house plants are happy and huge in air pots. Its a no brainer best thing Ive seen for night and day difference.

The back of the Gaia Green jug has different directions. It says 1 tbs per gallon but this recipe recommends more

I just set the Gaia green calculator to "Top Dressing" 1 gallon and the suggested rate is 1 tablespoon. Your not setting the calculator right. There's a difference between "Amending Soil" and "Top Dressing". Good luck man.. maybe read the whole article a few times so it sinks in? :rolleyes:

How many gallons of soil are you amending?
5


Are you amending soil or top dressing?

Bloom

Gaia Green's Recommendations:

Power Bloom: 5.00 tbsp

All Purpose: 2.50 tbsp

According to the back of the Gaia Green Power Bloom jug, this calculator is out of whack.

I'm not following you here. Don't see anything wrong with the calculations.

I did not think it was necessary to add ANY All Purpose in Bloom
oh...got ya, yeah I've never seen that before either but seems like it's working for them , they might be on to something. I might try that on my next grow, only 2 tablespoons, I did the same with Craft Blend this last grow, just added 2 tablespoons abouts, thinking it saved my grow, I underfeed a little. Plants go through the Phosphorus like nothing during the stretch. Not my best but they're getting there.

I'm a newbie but I'm using gaia green for autoflowers with promix hp mixed with extra perlite and and 20% worm castings and some dolomite lime. I mixed 2 tablespoons of 4-4-4 per gallon and germinated directly into my final 3 gallon pots so i don't accidentally transplant shock and stunt the autoflowers. At 4 weeks I do 1.5 tbsp per gallon of 50/50 444/284

I'm at 4 weeks now in my 2x4 tent with 4 autoflowers and they are just starting to stretch and i'm about to top dress 50/50 of all purpose and bloom tomorrow. Every two weeks I've been doing a earthworm casting and kelp meal tea steeped in water from my rain barrel for 24-48 hours (more determined by my schedule than any reason to let it steep). 2 of my autoflowers are fast flowering and this is their last feeding for the other 2 xxl strains I will give them another tea in 2 weeks and another feeding in 3ish weeks with 1 tblsp per gallon of 284 bloom.

I sort of mixed and matched this method from mr canuks grow on youtube, and a blog called marijauanamama420 http://www.marijuanamama420.ca/my-nutrient-schedule/ and my own experience using pro mix to grow fruit and veggies in my garden.

Autos in general don't need much love as far as nutrients go. A simple 4 4 4 could take them all the way. What your doing is good practice for Photoperiods.

Hey Guys , Small update here.

Babies are in their 8th week.

Not bad , not great growth.

something slowed down their growth and I think it was Temp (reaching 31 degrees in there sometimes) and humidity at the start of flower being to high
( 60+ )

Used both gaia green 1/3 cup each and worm castings 1/4.

LUX around 65k

Recharge Molasses and Coconut water during second half of flower.

What do you guys think ?

cheers
