Official Gaia Green Grow Method

Ya we poke fun at the nute mixers while they fret over their pH

What's pH? Never heard of it...

I usually PH my water... I run it between 6.5 & 6.8. I just use citric acid crystals. I have a soil recipe I am planning to use with autos this winter. If it works out well, I may run it all the time.

6.8 ...i dont haaha ph no need my oyester and lime buffer my soil so quick straight tap here .7.5ph

My well water is 7.2. I don't think I need to do this. It is just a precaution. And literally takes less than a minute to do.

What do yall do for calmag? I've had what looks like a calmag deficiency (which would make sense as I'm watering with RO.. my tap comes out at 800 ppm)

I'm scared to just add more lime as that could just lead to too much mag and is hard to get out?

Its either a ca deficiency or a mg deficiency.Gaia has both and if you added lime prior to planting you shouldn't need any.
Show us a pic.

I didn't add lime since the promix apparently had some and I didn't want to mess around too much.

Hard to get a picture as theyre all napping atm but all 8 of my plants are showing these same symptoms at varying stages.

They were transplanted 3 days ago and just got their first half watering. I wanted them to dry up before watering again. I have both epsom salt and gypsum I intend on adding in a couple hours with a little more water.

Edit: you can ignore that battlescar that was an oopsie on my part. Probably didn't pick the best leaf in the dark.

Promix has lime not much but some.I add 1 cup of gaia to 5 g promix moisten so its wet but no to wet then use that to transplant into.Doesnt need water for a week then.

Hmm, weird spots.Not sure.

Whats in your 800 ppm water? ever tried mixing in some with your ro? like 10%

I was considering doing this, maybe I'll give it a shot

These are my 8 square one genetics GG4 x BBC on week 3 of veg in the promix + ewc + gaia green.

4x8 tent, 7 gal pots, 5x 240w quantum boards on about half power atm.

Other than the little calmag (I hope) issue that I've now (hopefully) addressed, they've been growing well and I've been happy with the progress on day 22 from first sprout. They need a defoliating but they were recently transplanted so I'm giving them a break for a couple days.

If you look close and see a white substance on some of the leaves its just diatomaceous earth, not pm

I dont, not a public one at least. I've been logging their progress privately, but to be honest I didn't think this was going to go very well

Well I hope it goes amazingly well I wanted those seeds ha! Best of luck and I hope you get some frost giants over there!

You'll want to cover your soil,keeps it moist and alive.This helps the microbes chew down the gaia.

I've heard this before. How do yall properly mix in ferts and ewc with a layer of straw etc on there?

With straw the gaia just falls through tap the straw and water in.Ewc youll have to push to one side.Well worth the effort
