Question about using Gaia Green dry amendments

Smokenpassout said:

Questiom if you are transplanting delicate seedlings (5 nodes) from solo cups into permanent 5 gallon pots. Is it safe to plant such small pants, that havent had nutrients, into amended soil (happy frog/perlite mix)? Or should the initial transplant be into unamended soil, and then I top dress in a couple more weeks? Gaia Green calls for a amended soil mix of 70/30 at 3 Tbsp per gallon or 15 tablespoons total for a 5 gallon pot. I have used the top dressing recipe before for more developed plants to great results. My only concern is nuking such tiny seedlings with the amended soil dosage which seems to be full strength. However, I dont want any chance of running into deficiencies early by not feeding plants. I have heard that Happy frog has everything plants need for 30 days, and these seedling will be about 2-3 weeks old. Please share your experience with Gaia Green and if I should cut down the recipe, or stick with manufacturers suggested dosage.

I used 3 TBLSP per gallon of 4-4-4 and Promix BX, when I uppotted from 18oz Solo Cups, to 3 Gallon. I also used 1/4 TSP 4-4-4 per Solo Cup, as seedlings, premixed into the medium.
I also use 1 TBLSP AZOMITE, per 3 Gallons Promix BX, and 1/4 TSP in the Solo Cups. If remaining in veg, I top dress with 4-4-4
10 days before flip, I use 4 TBLSP 4-4-4-4 TBLSP 2-8-4- TBLSP Azomite.
I also make sure the TBLSP/TSP amounts are LEVEL, and Not Heaping.

Week 3 flowering a use 2.6 TBLSP 4-4-4-6.4 TBLSP 2-8-4.
Week 7 6.6 TBLSP 2-8-4. TBLSP Azomite.

Anything beyond 7 weeks gets straight 2-8-4, unless it shows Nitrogen Deficiency, then will top dress 4-4-4 1 TBLSP. Along with 2-8--4. All this is for full strength.
Strains that have had zero problems with this regime are.

El Jefe-Puck S1
Pacific Northwest Hashplant x Puck BC1-F2-
Crickets Cicada -Repro done by NWSun/Strainly
Destroyer-S1- Seedheads/Strainly
Cough BX3-Relic

Really, this is the most simple, and productive feeding program Ive seen in 50 years. All one has to do, is PH the water, and top dress every month. Seems they are growing just as fast, vs using chemicals.

My cups are very small, about the size of a short scotch glass. So I plan on transplanting when plants are small, maybe 3-4 nodes. I go straight to 5 gallom fabrics mixed with 70/30 perlite. Sounds like youre sayimg that its safe to go with 15 TBSPs amended into soil. So that would be 10.5 gaiia grow and 4.5 gaia grow for a month, then top dress 5 TBSP per 5 gallon?
