Is it possible to pre amend the soil with gia green organics for the first couple weeks of the plants life and then switch to my advanced nutrients? So I don't have to worry about giving them too much advanced to start or waiting to long to give them any?

I'm definitely with Organoman here... I see you've just pitched some autoflowers and if you decide to go this route, you'll be pitching these as well. I start all my autoflowers (and so far, they're the only things I grow) in ProMixHP which has zippitydodah (zero) nutrients because I want to control the what, the when and the how much of any nutes they get... And autoflowers do not like nor do they need any nutrients at all for the first couple weeks of their life.... and when they ARE introduced to the plant, I start them out with 1/4 strength to make sure they're going to be tolerated. So, as far as your plan is concerned, I'm not in favor at all... sorry! Good luck

why not just reduce concentration fist week to 1ec o a tad lowe, then maybe 1.3-1.5 .. and after that you can burn your plants up all you want with full dose AN :P sorry, i couldn't resist. Remembe, it's not foie gras.

If you look at my first grow I did exactly this and ended up with to much nitrogen during bloom. So if your going to toss advanced in it let the macro nutrients in the soil do the work (cut the macro/bloom/veg) and give it overdrive,bug bud and bud candy. DO NOT add more gai green from this point forward or you will do what I did. (Over feed) Liquid fertz killing biomes has been scientifically debunked. It just doesn't happen(unless you NUKE it with ALOT) "synthganic" has been observed as yielding great results if dialed in. hope this helps. Happy growing

If you are starting with quality soil to begin with, overloading it with extra fertilizers is likely to either kill (at worst) or burn (at best) your seedlings. Seedlings need very little, if any, extra feeding for the first 3 weeks of life especially when growing in good soil. Even after 3 weeks of age, starting with quarter strength nutrients is usually enough.
