Most of the time I use Gaia Green organic dry amendments, for ease of use & simplicity & my plants love it. I top feed once a month & water with plain water

Do you use the amount recommended? Or a bit higher or lower

I’m all over the place. Grow Dots in coco, soil and straight perlite. In super soil I’ve used Advanced Nutrients and Foop. Mammoth P, Dune monosalicic acid and TRIA. A blend of Dots and top feeding for any deficiencies has gotten me the best results. Recharge goes on EVERYTHING! Even my fruit trees and vegetable garden.

I’m switching to Coco,grow dots, and recharge with AutoPots on this next grow. Hopefully this becomes the permanent setup.

Autopots make things SUPER easy. I’m on my third run in a 4 pot xl using 80/20 coco to perlite and feeding canna A&B with once a week recharge. If not to top water recharge on weekends, I can go weeks without even opening the tent. I drop in regularly via webcam just in case I see something off.

Roots organics veg and bloom tea,

Veg amended before transplant when mixing potting mix and only 1 top dress with 3 tbsp in 5 gallon fabric containers

1 to 1 veg bloom tea “2 tbsp in 1 gallon of water” 1 week before flip

Then 2 tbsp bloom tea 2 weeks after flip and only water from there

My water is aquarium water never ph only add recharge to the water.

Ive been using Strive nutrients and have had great results. I use Recharge religiously every 10 days. Last 4 weeks of flower I substitute 1 feeding of Strive for Flower fuel and I just used Winter Frost for the first time last grow which I was blown away by it. 3xs and the oil content bulk and frost was amazing

first. Dope af. But then, ok soooo..

winter frost. I’ve been playing around with it a little. What do you think is in that stuff? lol. kinda starting to think it’s got something that drives plants into senescence faster? I’m really just not quite sure. lol. I think I killed a plant with it by feeding some in early veg. It got a little weird. lol. 😆

Sorry to hear about your troubles with Winter Frost. What’s in Winter Frost seems to be a big secret. I’ve seen it asked many times and I get why some formulas remain undisclosed for business reasons but it’s not magic and you can’t fool me. ;) If Winter Frost is supposed to aid in senescence then it must have ingredients involved in the production of ethylene. You’re not bottling ethylene gas so if I was going to formulate a product like Winter Frost it would have some ethylene precursors like Ethephon and ACC.

ACC – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic_acid

I like it. That’s sound logic, I was thinking something similar. So. I’ll keep using it but probably just at the end of flower like the directions say lol. 😝

side note. That plant isn’t actually dead. It just got really weird with lots of purple. Definitely stunted it’s vertical growth but it’s still kickin.

Great! When you switch to Flower Fuel are you using it 1/4 tsp per gallon? I’ve been using it as a supplement in flower at 1/8 tsp with good results.

I use Gaia Green amendments with worm castings and compost. I top dress every 21-30 days. Either recharge or a compost tea weekly (tweaked for the stage of the plants). I use homemade wicking buckets (10 gallon garbage cans). I’m trying to simplify everything without breaking the bank. Definitely use the Gaia Green for the ease of use

Gaia Green is great for organics, if you’re going synthetics, I am partial to Remo Farms & Jack’s 3-2-1: especially if you’re budget-minded. Jack’s is crazy affordable for what it is

I been all over the map. Started w fox farm, tried Gaia green, grow dots, New Mill Secret Sauce…now using GH maxi grow, maxi bloom and kool bloom. Recharge once a week. Thats it in pure coco that I buffer with calmag when I hydrate the block.

Having my best results with GH. I had good results with everything though. Grow dots are nice and easy and give good enough results, but are expensive and I ended up supplementing w new milk secret sauce additives, so I was still measuring with a pipette and that’s what I wanted to avoid. Gaia green was good, but stinky and expensive.

I like the GH powdered nutes. A couple scoops and that’s it.

Then I hit with winter frost at the end.
