    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    Just water it. You can use aloe or yucca as a wetting agent.

    Making egg shells water soluable with vinagar

    Are you following the KNF recipe? You are supposed to filter the eggshells and keep the liquid product. No need to mix the liquid with the eggshells at the bottom, just filter it and use it. https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/sa-10.pdf You can do it both foliar and irrigation.

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Moved Power Plant to 2,5x2,5 tent. I added a net, i took it from a municipal construction in the street. Not sure if the material is too aggressive for the plants, will stay alert. 2,5x2,5 not as tall as 3x3 tent, so will be flipping soon. A few months ago i cleaned the roof of my house. Found...

    Grow-A-Long with Dick

    Update Power Plant getting bigger, i am tying down branches and opening it up. I'm thinking about moving it to my 2,5x2,5 tent, and use the 3x3 with the Power Plant clones that already rooted in the solo cups. Not sure what to do about Sour Compassion and Zkittlez, since they have shown some...

    Is this powdery mildew?

    Hello RIU. Found this signs on a few of my plants: some of them were clones that i tossed out because they came from a weak mother than after taking the cuttings, started with mildew problems. But the plant i took this leave from, is not a clone, it's from seed, and another strain. I take...

    Eggshell WCA (Water-Soluble Calcium)

    JMS stands for Jadam Microorganism Solution. It's made by putting leaf mold and a boiled potato you smash in the water, as a food source for the microorganisms. Didn't try it yet, but will do sooner or later:

    organic calmag

    I use 1 cup/240ml per cu ft of base mix potting soil (peat-perlite-ewc). For top dressing, i use build-a-soil guidelines, and go with 4 tablespoons for a 5gal pot. 8tbls for 10gal, etc.

    Update. Power Plant is better than before and i took some clones from it. Wish i would have 2 right now and fill the tent more quickly. Sour Compassion will soon go to a 2,5-5gal pot. Not sure what to do. Maybe put it together with the Power Plant in the same tent and use the other one for the...

    When growing in organic super soil, do you water until runoff?

    Just a little. I mean, i fill the pot and if there's a little runoff it's okay, but pretty different practice than watering til 20-30% runoff as you would do in hydro.

    Two tents, two fans...how many filters and how to setup?

    Hello RIU. I'm having some trouble with this design. First of all: - I want my room to be always closed and to use the wall that goes to the outside to have air exchange in the room where the tents will be. I mean, exchange between outdoors and the room. - I have and inline 4" fan and a 6"...

    I def believe it was something with the soil being too hot and some bad practices from me. I set up another tent. Left the Power Plant in her 10gal pot under 400W of MH and the 180W COB is on a smaller tent with the Sour Compassion, some clones in solo cups, and some pots with soil that's being...

    Replacing Blood meal with Alfalfa meal in a soil mix

    What's your other fertilizers in the mix? I go with 2 cups total mixing 1/2 cup each: fish meal, alfalfa meal, insect frass, high K organic commercial dry fert. I would dare to go with 1 cup, but not more, at least on my first try.

    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    I do not pH my tap water. What i am doing right now is using a little bit less liming agent on my mix, since my tap water is around 7.2 pH and about 200ppm. And since i tend to do somehow long veg periods, i not sure about pH building up in the soil as watering and weeks passes. What's your tap...

    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    I don't know how much perlite is in ProMix. I know the brand but not that particular product since i live in South America. We have similar ones here that come with a little bit perlite, and if i use it, i would add more perlite, more around 25-30% than 35-40%.

    Old Topic, Teas

    I would do one of two things. Or both, but separate brews. A) Keep your recipe and add only a HANDFUL of EWC. This tea you brew is a nutrient tea. B) Brew a EWC Tea. Basic recipe is EWC and molasses. You can add kelp and fish hydrolisate, but very little. http://microbeorganics.com/...

    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    Yes, i didn't write anything about the rock and lime to give more of a concise answer. I also believe Promix is already limed. But truth is that the standard mix contains what you named. There are also some cases where, at least myself, don't use rock dust if i don't have at hand. I believe it...

    Official Gaia Green Grow Method

    As a general guideline, you want around 1-2 cups of TOTAL ferts per cu ft of base mix (Promix-Perlite-EWC). So 1-2 cups of 4-4-4 per cu ft. Base mix can be 1:1:1 ratio, but in my experience it's a lot of EWC if you don't have great quality one, especially on it's "texture". I stick to 20% EWC...

    I also thought about that, but i've used the same soil mix outdoors under the sun and the plants didn't show these signs. I think i went into some type of intoxication. Went a little too heavy/often with some diy inputs like Aloe FPJ, along a top dressing.

    Weekly update. Def going through a learning curve with the COB fixture. Some sympthons on some leaves i never had before, with very very similar soil mixes. Things i consider may contribute to this: Environment: - Something about the light itself, i read a few times about different Ca and Mg...

    Peruvian Seabird Guano Tea

    Sounds like a lots of ingredients. Anyways, I would check EC to see if it's not very "hot" and use it.
