What type of amendments were you looking at I use Gaia Green dry amendments but that's a Canadian product. I've also use a couple diff bottled nutes and the Dry Amendments I use are way better then any of the bottled shit I've tried.
First time grow (Autos)
- Thread starter Cheeseenthusiast
- Start date
Is it Mr Canuks Grows? I watch his stuff too and he's really experienced and has top notch Leds so for him he can grow autos easy. But he usually grows photos in his tents and autos in his closet and veg area. But it seems like he's been doing less with autos lately. But yeah photoperiods are the best overall I might buy some autos next year and just throw them outside for an extra harvest.

Once you get through this run you will have learned alot and still gotten yield. It will be of value regardless.

I've yet to see a successful grow without issues using mr. canuck's method for coco.
I was attacked last week by another member for always making negative remarks about mr. canuck's method in coco.......I asked him to show me pics of a successful grow from start to finish.......he never responded, even though he claimed success.
There is an official gaia green method thread on RIU and all of the posters using it are in either soil, compost, peat, or a combination.
I posted a question in that thread asking if anyone was using it in coco/perlite and the answer was no.
Good luck using that method in coco.......you'll need it.
Don't believe everything you read or see on the internet.

I'm only 20% coco for air flow purposes, I'm using the biobizz light potting mix which is peat moss ect..
I like the idea of dry amendments but didn't want to have

I like the idea of dry amendments but didn't want to have all the separate bags so I am taking a chance on the premix from a company

I feel its time for a good analogy.
Do you have kids? Would you just give them 1 thing that says its balanced when you know they need more veggies that meat at the stage in they're life? And when they have grown and now need more protein would you still give them what they were getting for they're growing needs?
My point is treat your plants like they mean the world to you and they will return that favor by giving you really good weed.
Short cut and you will have meh weed with meh yields with meh potency.
Also if you have soil in there they won't need nutes for a couple weeks. Add nute to early and it stunts them.
Yeah getting Gaia green out of Canada is expensive and it takes about 2 waterings for it to start working and it last 3 weeks befor you have to top dress with more pre-mixing in soil you do 3 tbs per gal and with top dressing it's 1tbs per gal and I've never had an issue with under or over feeding with it. And yeah for seedling I usually wait a week and a half befor I add some since it takes like 2 waterings to start so it starts feeding the plant at like two weeks.
Edit: I also use a simple compost tea which is 1 cup of earth worm castings 1/2 cup of kelp meal and 2 tbs of unsulphered black strap molasses per 5 gal of water and let it brew for 24-48 hours.

Haha yea i get it! Yea it says 2-3 weeks worth, yea I've mixed my veg stage nuts through some more soil and have had it watered in separate tubs so it is not as hot come week 2 ish for a top soil feed
What do you use for nutes?

Yea similar mixing amounts here! Also read it was good to have your nutes mixed and fed before apply as a top soil so I'm glad I am a few days ahead on that
How often do you feed them tea? I have the stuff there and have been pumping my water as I ph so to be honest it would be easy enough for me to start
Oh and if you do use dry amendments in flower I usually do 75%-80% bloom nutes and 20%-25% veg nutes just for some extra nitrogen during the first weeks of flower. I also give compost tea around once a week. I'll post some pics of my Super Skunk that I've used only dry amendments on its in week 6 of flower and has 3 more weeks to go. The veg nutes from Gaia Green is a 4-4-4 blend and the bloom nutes is a 2-8-4 blend. My plants seem to love this shit.
And yeah i usually top dress a couple days befor it hits 3 weeks so it dosnt run out for a day or so.

That's a epic plant and flavour!
The ratios in my nutes are slightly different but I'll just keep an eye on a deficiency chart, also have a few tbsp of the veg nute left so I'll be sure to do the same

You're doing fine.

Cracking reviews! Do you use the supplements it has on its feeding chart or just the trio?
