Thanks, yeah that's one of the ways I took from his explanations. What throws me off is on one of the videos he says he does the 444 mix in the coco, then a mix of the 444 and 394 at 4 weeks of flowering as a top dressing, which 4 weeks of flowering isn't counting how many weeks he vegged for so thats much longer than 3 weeks. He mentions it's the first feeding since day 1.
Then 1 more top dressing at a later time, and those were all he fed. That being only 2 top dressing feedings through the entire grow, the other method would have more than 2 top dressing feedings.
Watch at 1:40
Hey folks. Just back to the Gaia Green feeding schedule for a minute (I'm actually giving his method a try so this is hugely relevant to me), but from what I can gather his first top dressing for autoflowers is between weeks 5 and 8, if his "top dress at week 4 of flower" statement is accurate. When to apply the first top dressing would depend entirely on the strain/pheno (hence 5-8 weeks, though I imagine by week 8 the girls are hungry). In another video he states that he top dresses every 3 weeks once he starts top dressing, but leaves enough time before harvest to use up those nutes. I'm assuming that means his last top dressing is no closer to harvest than 3 weeks. With a short-lived strain that would mean only one top dressing at something like week 5 or 6 at a rate of 30/70 of the 444/284.
If/when the seeds arrive, I'm going to be growing some Crystal Candy Autos like in his videos (I didn't realize he grew it when I ordered them, just a lucky coincidence). I want to get the feedings right because they're so fast.
Cheers
