Question about mixing soil

Hi guys/gals

I'm planning to use sunshine mix #4 with the following nutrients:

Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4
Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4
Gaia Green Worm Castings

Question 1: When mixing my soil together, Gaia Green calls for 3 tbps per gallon of soil for the 4-4-4 but should I be using slightly less than that because of the additional nitrogen in the worm castings? Or is it all gentle enough that I can follow the amounts as per the directions on each container?

Question 2: Should I add any amount of the Power Bloom 2-8-4 to the soil while mixing or ONLY top dress prior to flowering?

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

this can be strain dependent to some extent. Some strains feed faster and that mix will be perfect...others they will need something before you expected. I would ignore the EWC nitrogen in my calculations but thats me. Gaia Green likes 'slow release' stuff so ur fine in my opinion.
I would top dress the 2-8-4 closer to flower if it was me. Best advice i ever got was, 'test,test,test'...only way to know if ur mix is dialed in for its application

Thank you, I agree test test test is always the greatest way to learn. I will ignore the EWC in my calculations. Thanks!
