Long time follower, first time poster. I joined RIU just because of this Gaia Green post and wanted to be a part of it lol. Soooo much good info and I'm only on page 12!!

I've been a hydro grower since 2005 and have made the switch to Gaia Green in early 2020 and haven't looked back. Last grow I feel like I mixed in too many random amendments and through my soil web off. This grow I'm trying to keep it simple and am hoping I can get my yields up.

Specs as follows

Lighting- 1 315w CMH for Veg and adding 1 more for flowering
Medium- Promix HP, perlite, casting/compost blend. Amended with Gaia All Purp and Power Bloom, mineralized phosphate, rock dust and oyster shell flower.
Water- Non PH'd RO. (2ppm and 6.5-7.0ph)
Containers- Solo cup for seedlings, then 1 gal plastic pots for early veg then 10 gal fabric pots to finish veg and flower.
Microbes- Compost teas every odd week (week 1, week 3 etc. Microbial Mass every even week (week 2, week 4 etc)
Day temp-22-25c
Night temp- 19-21c
Humidity- 40%rh

I water as needed with un ph'd RO water. Often giving less than what I should but I've found overwatering really sets the plants back in this medium. Every 1st and 3rd week they get a light compost tea (just compost and water with a tiny bit of Molasses).

I have to say these are my best looking plants so far however I've noticed my leaves taking on some different coloration. Can anyone give me some insight or am I worrying too much?

ummm... 2-3 TBSP 7-10 days seems like a lot.... maybe that much every 20ish days I'd think...
edit: the instructions on the bag say topdress 1 TBSP per gallon medium, once a month or as desired
weekly topdress seems a little over-the-top to me...

Yup I’m not the only one feeding more then the instructions. @myke

They are liking it for sure. Almost 10 weeks flower. The sour diesel looks like it will take more. Got a clone ready to go so I will find out.

To be honest this is my first grow with Gia. So I guess I’ll test the product in a few weeks and adjust accordingly with the clone.

Beauty plants. Im starting to think that the less is more motto applies more to the Gaia Green line up than anything else. Love the stuff and cant see me using anything else. Kinda wish i hadnt spent so long in hydro but then again thats probably why i have such an appreciation for organic grown bud now a days.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I like to experiment with what mother nature has to offer.

I feel for you with the hand watering. Sometimes that's the best way when your in pots. I've done this exact same type configuration. I used a 45 gallon trash can with a 1/4hp well pump. Garden hose with a 5ft watering wand. Still had to kneel and crouch but it was much easier than the alternative.

Instead of top dressing. Couldn’t you just mix it in water. Then water with it? It’s the same thing ain’t it.

Day 14 12/12

I am happy with everything very easy grow i start checking my runnof weekly just because i bought the ph and ppm kit and i feel it help me stay on top .i had to give some fish fertelizer for some pot that the runnof ppm was at 750 ppm . I found that at 3000ppm they are just more happy .

The hydro setup with megacrop dont grow faster or bigger buds then my soil mix will see at they end lol ...i plant some clone in one pot at the same time i start that dwc side by side!
