Godd day to all,
I am transplanting soon into 3 gallon fabric pots soon and have started building my soil,i have put in 12 gallons of promix bx,4 gallons of worm castings and 4 gallons of perlite.i have the lime,but havent put it in yet i usually add 1 cup per 5 gallons of soil.

Im not a newb to growing,but i have little knowledge of organic ingredients and their npk values.

I also have gaia green grow and bloom,gaia green rock dust blend,gaia green gypsum,myco,this marine phytoplankton soil enhancer,liquid kelp,epsom salts.. i think thats it

I want to veg for 10 days in this soil,then go to flower time of 9 weeks.
Do i have enough ammendments and how much per gallon of each?
Then i guess i cook it for 2 weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
I should have thought this out better,im going to just top dress this round,and half way through flower ill mix a new batch of soil and let it cook for a month,
 
Gia green grow should have instructions.for The other amounts I’d google “coots mix” and stay close to what he does. I go 1/4 less on everything but the castings. And again the longer cook the better. Good luck
 
For those organic blends like Gaia Green, you're probably safe to go with what the manufacturer recommends (unlike salt-based fertilizers where the manufacturer recommendations are always way too strong).

Usually it's somewhere in the range of 2 cups npk amendments per cubic foot (7.5 gallons) for the initial mix, and 1-2 tbsp per gallon when top-dressing. The rock dust they say 1 tbsp per gallon in the initial mix, I wouldn't bother top-dressing that though.

If you're going for a short veg time, I'd do just the GG grow in the initial mix (personally I wouldn't sweat letting it cook), and maybe the bloom for your top-dress in flower, and add a few handfuls of worm castings when you top-dress. Everything else I'd say is optional.

If you can, use bigger than 3 gallons for your final pot, too. Even with a really short veg time that's gonna be hard to keep up...

Oh yeah, there's a really good thread on here dedicated to Gaia Green ferts, most people just use the grow and bloom: https://www.rollitup.org/t/official-gaia-green-grow-method.1026893/
