I was planning on reammending with down to earth bio live at 2 tablespoons per gallon. As well as earth worm castings. I also though about adding in some fox farm marine cuisine or crab meal... maybe substituting a couple tablespoons of bio live with a couple tablespoons of marine cuisine or crab meal. This is just to make sure there is some extra calcium in the mix...Re amending soil,Last go I added 1 cup 444 per 10 gallons after harvest.Soil was top dressed weekly so I thought that was enough.Just planted in it after a 3 month cook.Will see how it goes.So time to do it again,Going to try 70/30 veg bloom at a cup per 7.5 gallon this time. As usual Ill add some EWC also.
What do you guys do to re amended ?
I would just calculate cups per 5 gallon soil but I keep getting different numbers on how many gallon pots of soil are in 3.8 compressed. Ive done google searches and everyone seems to have different opinions on what that number is, I have seen everything from 24 gallons up tp 55 gallons in each bale. With number swings as big as this I figured it would be best if I just asked how many cups of gaia green per bale would be needed instead of per gallonI am getting ready to use gaia green for the first time, Ive always used botanicare products except this year when I decided to try remo nutrients "not a fan of this line up". Intead of going back to botanicare I decided I will give. gaia green a try and see what happens.. Here is what Im trying to figure out...The ratios I am mostly seeing in this thread are for 5-7 gallon pots of loose soil but I am looking for measurements for 3.8 cubic ft of pro mix compressed bales. Basically Im trying to figure out how much of everything I will need for each bale.. In total I will be trying to "cook up" enough pro mix/gaia green for 8 compressed 3.8 c/ft bales and if I knew how many cups of each product I need to amend per bale then I will have a better idea of what to mix... I will be using gaia green all purpose, power bloom, ewc, dolomite lime and maybe make teas as I go along.. Any help would be appreciated.
I will like to help but men i reuse my promix for to long to remember ...I would just calculate cups per 5 gallon soil but I keep getting different numbers on how many gallon pots of soil are in 3.8 compressed.

Yeah a 3.8 bale I have says 107 liters which is 23.5 gal, but that would only be four 5 gal pots per bale, that doesn't sound right. I guess I could fill up some pots lol, I was just hoping to get an idea of what I needed before making a feedstore run.I will like to help but men i reuse my promix for to long to remember ...
Promix is wat 107 liter .
Try it man 5 gallon bucket and a bale off promix 15 min work lol.
Its about 5 5gallon if i remember goodYeah a 3.8 bale I have says 107 liters which is 23.5 gal, but that would only be four 5 gal pots per bale, that doesn't sound right. I guess I could fill up some pots lol, I was just hoping to get an idea of what I needed before making a feedstore run.
45 gallons is my guess,let us know what you find out.Yeah I guess I will get a 5 gal and see, was hopiing someone already had a recipe for it tho lol
Looks like 45 gallons is pretty spot on.. It seems that 3.8 cu/ft compressed expands to 6 cu/ft once its fluffed which would make it45 gallons is my guess,let us know what you find out.
The promix HP has lime already. With the volume that your talking about you’ll probably want a good quality soil pH probe. Promix like any other product can vary from bag to bag.Looks like 45 gallons is pretty spot on.. It seems that 3.8 cu/ft compressed expands to 6 cu/ft once its fluffed which would make it
44.883116 gallons.
So with that in mind this would be the recipe for a 3.8 cu/ft compressed bale
9 cups of all purpose
4 1/2 cups of ewc
2 1/2 cups dolomite lime
Amend soil, mix very well and let it sit for 3 weeks to a month
Top dress every 3 weeks in veg
4 1/2 cups of all purpose
2 1/4 cups of ewc
As soon as the plants start to flower top dress on weeks 2 and 5 "with an 8 week strain"
2 1/4 cups of all purpose
2 1/4 cups of bloom power
2 1/4 cups ewc
Does this look right?
