So I want to continue growing with coco. I want to try out gaia green dry amendments.

So theoretically, I would mix in the proper amount of gaia green with my 50L bag of coco. then I would fill the pots etc. and top dress once every 3-4wks from then on right? Can you even use GG with coco?

Thanks fellas

I mixed 5 gallon sifted, buffered coco with 10% supersoil and 5 tbsp GG 4-4-4 for a SIP application. Use megacrop in rez. One plant fills my 5x5 canopy.

I don't recommend it........... but if you do mix it like you would a peat bale 1:1:1 ratios 1 part coco 1 part ewc/compost 1 part aeration (perlite etc.) and then add the Gaia for the amount mixed the way i understand it with my limited synganic/organic coco knowledge is that since coco is inert you want to add as much organic material possible to slow the decomposition/break down of the coco but I've been wrong before haha

Millhouse does a decent job with dry nutes. I just can't stand the voice.

I've just been thinking, for my next run it would be nice if I could mix the GG in the mix out the gate. Then only have to top dress once every few weeks. Then I could just water everyday and it would save me some time because raising a kid full time and trying to do all this is hard lmao. Would be nice to only have to water vs mixing and feeding every other day

Then you want supersoil. The only times I've seen anyone do this they've had nothing but problems, and usually they say "there's this guy in youtube, mr canuk..."
To be fair, I've only encountered this through threads here and on other forums, so something has usually gone wrong. But in those threads I have never seen anyone chime in to say it worked for them.

I have never seen a successful grow using mr. canuck's method.
There is an Official Gaia Green Method thread in the organics section.
None of the contributors use just coco.......it's either soil or peat moss.

Check Millhouse out. He does all organic/water & top dress only.
He shows his mixing in this video.

You'll need some peat, earthworm castings, microbes, etc into the equation.
Just grab some roots organic original soil. You'll want some synthetics if you use only coco. Many don't like mixing coco with peat but I do.
