Official Gaia Green Grow Method

So I started a new grow using coco with Earth Dust dry amendments. The ever popular Mr. Canucks Grows uses 6.5 - 6.8 water pH. Should I use this pH?
I am confused since every online answer says to use 5.8-6.5 pH, which is quite the broad range, and I bet it's wrong.
Anyone else using coco with dry amendments? What watering pH works best for you? (I know a lot of people shit on using coco, but I want to do it this way because last soil grow got over watered once, and stayed wet for 2 weeks.)

COco is an amazing medium. Iam in soil but I can’t wait to start coco grow I know I heard u can use coco like soil (which I think is what u doing ) and u can use coco as hydro ( which I think is the lower end ph level ). The best site on planet earth for coco growing and sign up is free and there is a PhD level professor (dr mj coco) he helped little old me personally Cocoforcannabis. Go to that site and I promise u will get every question answered. There live chat is amazing Everyone will help or u can ask dr coco personally in the forum question

Unfortunately their website is broken. When I try to sign up, it throws an error saying "key is invalid" after setting a password. Oh well. Thanks anyway.
I guess I will just water to pH of 6.5 - 6.8 and hope for the best : /

Keep trying. Or try

Yeah, I've asked several questions to Earth Dust green sunshine co a while back, and they have been very helpful, but they too told me to use a watering pH of 5.8 - 6.5 which is just to broad of a range for me to feel comfortable. It feels copy/pasty.

First, I'd like to thank everyone that posted on this thread. Reading through it really helped me with making the switch to organics. Here's my 6 critical kush's all grown with only dr. Earth dry amendments, EWC, and Neptune's harvest seaweed and fish once a month. I Just flipped to flower! If anyone wants check out my grow https://www.rollitup.org/t/lazypotheads-4x4-critical-kush-geekbeast-grow.1045663/

I've used coco for a while but with salts, so I don't know if it would be different if its with organic dry amendments. Also, maybe the company answered you thinking you're using salts? I kept it 5.8-6.3 when I was using straight coco.

This is my first round at coco dry amendments and it works well just water at 6.5 6.8 And make a tea once a week or so make sure you add some good EWC to the mix

2 weeks out from harvest, noticed they were running low on pottassium so I got them so Gaia seaweed 0-0-17. This is my first grow ever, using Gaia all purpose (4-4-4), bloom (2-8-4), Earth Worth Casting and now Seaweed. Been giving them aloe vera juice and started giving them molasses recently.

Anything else you guys would recommend or all is good?

I see some nitrogen defficiency need more 444 in your mix
I use 50/50 all the flower and the girls love it with a little worm casting

2 week to go !

End of week 2 flowering. Gotta say, definitely love these dr. Earth nutes. I'll never go back to mixing a ton of expensive nutes ever again.

Lazypothead's 4x4 Critical Kush Geekbeast Grow

Hey guy's and gal's, I recently decided to get back into growing.. Been around 7 years since my last grow. So just a heads up I will probably have a ton of questions along the way. I've spent a good part of the past 2 months on here reading and soaking in all of the knowledge that's on RIU to...

Your plansts all look really nice and healthy, I can't wait to see how it goes. I'm crossing my finger for mine haha.

Thanks! First grow in forever so I'm really happy with how their turning out. Definitely waited too long to flower though, lol. Do you have some ck going?

Dontjudgeme said:

This is exactly what I do with roots organics “ grow “ and “ bloom “. I do however feed kelp and guano during flowering to boost my P and K. But pretty straight forward.

im doing the same here with my girls, but i also feed them dyna grow (organic) on top of that and alternate between the two. loving the results but the outdoor is KILLER. Just using roots organic dry amendments on my outdoor and I've never gotten color in flower til now so its an keep sake in this garden.

I thought you might have some critical kush going too.

First off I love this thread! I'm fairly new to growing in general, few outdoor grows and a couple indoor using premixed soils like ffof and liquid nutes. Got ok turnouts but far from organic and that's the direction I'm going now. But I just got some promix 80% sphagnum peat with coco, gypsum, dolomite lime, perlite and vermiculite added. I have worm castings, gaia green all purpose and power bloom as well as some other Down to Earth organic dry amendments like alfalfa meal, kelp meal and oyster shell flour.. Am I good to go? Do I need anything else? I have 4 seedlings in solo cups about 2weeks old. Do I need to use any of the Down to Earth amendments to start out or should I just use those for compost teas and top dressing later down the road? I use water from a fresh mountain spring (I live in the mountains lol). Ph is normally 7-7.8 depending on rain fall and has ppm of 10-15 should I ph the water? And when they plants start drinking a lot do I need to water until run-off or na? I should be in newbie central but hard to get experienced advice in a newbie thread .. Much Love everyone looking forward to some input. Happy grows
