That amount should work! I usually dump in a couple tablespoons in a 5 gal container. Lately though, I’m just using 4-4-4 for the most part with some bloom added.

You need the 444 for veg, using power bloom anytime before budding might leave your plants hungry for nitrogen.
I personally use 444 for veg and first few weeks of flower, then top dress with power bloom. That method works pretty well.

I broke down and bought some…lol
Depending on the size of the pellets it could take some time to break down so consider that… just remember you can always add but not take away when it comes to fertilizer

Ive used the gaia green for a while so i do have experience with it,but after the comments im going to agree and stick with mixing the all purpose with the power bloom.i just had the blood meal and wanted to save a few bucks.
Ill be transplanting to 15 gallons of soil,i also add ewc,lime and perlite,first mix is 75/25 bloom/grow,after that i just use bloom every 3 weeks as well as more ewc which has nitrogen,i also top dress with gypsum alternating every 3 weeks and one dose of epsom salts…and do a basic tea once a week with just mollassas and a bit of ewc and some kelp

Just gotta veg a week or so longer to bush out the plants,then transplant,another week of veg,then to bloom
I’ve had good success just using all-purpose 444 the whole way through and supplementing with recharge…N is low enough to not cause any issues during flower

Not sure if you remember the old Jack’s blue fertilizer haha it was 20-20-20 we used it from seed to harvest but would sometimes burn the hell out of the plant if heavy-handed. Looked like pool cleanerLooked like pool cleaner

I remember some shady people trying to repackage it and sell it as some sort of miracle Marijuana fertilizer but it’s kind of a dead giveaway with the blue powder.
Not really,miracle grow is blue,so is plant prod…
But still,thats kinda funny…there are suckers everywhere!i once bought some magic beans…turns out they were just jumping beans…lol
