Official Gaia Green Grow Method

I use the method you guys are talking about, In 1, 2 and 3 gallon pots. So to me it comes down to pot size in relation to plant size and how long the plant has been In the pot.

I find I need to top dress at least 2 weeks in and if the plant is bigger (more established in the pot) I top dress right at flip.
So if I put a plant from solo cup to 2 gallon let it settle into pot for a week give or take then I shouldn't have to top dress till week 2

Grow shop..? Ontario. Pretty abundant round here. It's listed for 95 but I get it for 80. Listed 55 for 10kg I pay 40. Lol. My buddy works there. I think you can get it even cheaper but have to order wholesale, prob a skid worth. Would be ok if a few guys went in on it.

How much are you guys paying for this stuff?? I'm getting 20kg bags for 80bucks (2-8-4) at the hydro shop. They sell it for 95$.
Where are you getting it for 80 bux per 20kg? That's a really good deal, I can't find it anywhere cheaper then 100.00+ expensive taxes. comes out closer to 120.00 then 100.00.

With as much of this shit as Im going through you would think Ritchies would cut me some discounts/ nope. I for sure need to find a better source since I am always needing this stuff.

Well I'm not going to say the exact shop.... Officer. Ps I'm legal. Don't bother bongsmilie
You know people use Gaia Green for more then just growing Cannabis eh? I use this for my whole fruits and veggie garden, sorry for asking for a place that would be the most discount. PS Don't brag that you have a discount shop if you are not willing to provide where we can go get it.

I wasn't bragging I left the listed prices and said that I get a friend price. I don' t need people calling grow stores asking for jjgrow specials. Lmao. I even said it multiple times so you got the point. (apparently not)

So u top dress every two weeks for big plants?
Do u use 2 or 1 tbsp per gallon of medium?
Also do u use tea's to jump start microbes?
Im wondering if the microbes being super active depletes nutes faster.

Yes. The more active the soil is the faster the nutrients will be broken down and become available.

Best price I've seen. Sometimes they have flash sales and price is even better. U can get free shipping if u get $50 of qualifying free shipping stuff. Or its about $15 shipping.

If I lived in the states that would be a good deal there, Im not sure it would be worth shipping 20kg bags from USA to Canada, that could get pricey after shipping,

Looking for some advice here..

I have a few outdoor autos - Lambs Bread, GSC and Candy Cane - that are close to being ready (I think a week, maybe 2) and I'm debating giving one more top dress of 284 with tmrw morning's watering.
Pictures are the LB, but the others are all at a similar stage.

Any opinions welcome

I would just water til the end from this point, there is no point in adding more gaia green at this point.

So I just realized that my last run (that was deficient and I was playing catchup on since week 3) was not promix hp, rather promix hp cc, which apparently has coco in it.

That would explain the 2x per day watering and fast depletion of the nutrients compared to previous runs with just promix hp.

Now, I have about 25gal worth mixed with Gaia Green. do I use that for 1 gallon pots then transfer to the 5 or 7 gals with promix hp, or use the blend for something else and start fresh

Sure, you can start in 1's then transfer to 5's or 7's. I'd go as big as you can.

I would just mix it with promix and food to dilute the coco down some.

No I do not. I have tried a few times and never seem to time it right. So I keep a bottle of Neptunes harvest around for emergencies , but I prefer an early fade to no fade at all , so when a plant shows the need I just take note of it for next time.

Cheers :)
Dude, seriously? Over 500 posts and no one has said anything about your fkd-up avatar! I don't even want to know what that animal is that you're crank'n on!
