Gaia works best in a different PH rage vs liquid nutrients.
Gaia is broken down by the soils microbes at a PH range of 6.5-6.8
Most liquid nutrients are used at a PH of 5.8-6.2 for hydro or aorund 6.5 in soil
The microbes also tend to die off when salt based fertilizers are added into the soil and build in concentrations.
If you start with Gaia and then switch to FF it should be ok.
If you keep with Gaia and use smaller amounts like 1/5-1/8 the feeding guidelines of FF it might also work. Just have to keep an eye on its EC/PH and keep it low.
Best Of Luck!

Do your self a favor don't mix brands and nutrition. Some stuff don't agree with other stuff. Chemical reactions etc. Equals
Dead plants. So when you mix you gamble basically. So when people use all one brand it's not a loyalty thing it's just there is a science in all the Chemicals good luck š±

I would just use the fox farm trio. Its immediately available nutrients to the plants. Just dose lower than recommended. You will usually only need half dose of what the schedule says. I try to keep my feed as simple as possible. The trio is simple and complete. Mixing a lot of different nutrients can cause issues.

Depending on soil you may not need nutrients for a few weeks, top dress with gaia, then in 3-5 weeks start adding the nutrients

Watering in Super CoCoHey there fellow growers! So Iāve been trying to figure out the best watering schedule and volume š§Iāve been told to always water with runoff, go by weight, top inch dry, etc.
I guess my main question is runoff necessary when watering in Super CoCo?
All advice appreciated!š±Other. Other
