It is a bit much for that grow, the Gaia Green products are all in ones and they contain a lot of the same items you are entering into your medium already. You can 100% use just the Gaia Green products all purpose and power bloom through the entire cycle of the plant. I use Gaia Green on a regular and am very happy with the results I get from it. One thing to note is I do find it sometimes needs a bit more Magnesium and I will supplement it with Epsom salts. I also add in a LAB serum for adding bacteria into the soil to help break down the raw materials into plant friendly forms. Gaia is finely ground and will break down quite fast, the other forms are large chucks and have less surface area so they will release a bit slower over longer periods of time. I like it for outdoor plants in earth where it can be used for years to come.

WAY overloaded with nitrogen - and the color of your plants says as much! I truly hope these are not autoflowers but I have the sinking feeling they are since one of them (2 of them?) are already in pre-flower. If I were you, if this was MY grow, I'd definitely be giving her a hard flush right about now to forestall the nitrogen toxicity you're going to get from these amendments... With autoflowers, less is definitely more! They generally tend not to need any nutes whatsoever until week 2 or 3 and then you want to start them off slowly - about 1/4-1/2 strength dose until you see whether they're going to tolerate the nutes or you need to make adjustments. So - hard flush (for you, growing in 5 gallon pots, that would be 15 gallons of pH'd water through each pot) and while you're waiting for them to dry out, get a better handle on the regimen of nutes you are going to use so you're prepared for feeding them again once they've dried out. One way you can do this is to look on this site for any growers using just ONE of your nutes... let's take Fish Bone Meal as an example... type it into the search bar and take a look at the grows that pop up (if none pop up, choose another of your nutes)... take a look at how successful they've been and then dive in to their diaries week by week to see what they're feeding and how much... And make sure the diaries you DO look at are growing autoflowers... Good luck to you... it's good you asked this question NOW!
