- ~If your transplanting into a 3gal pot instead of 5 you'll need 2gal mix. Use 3veg & 1bloom or 2 & 2 is just fine. Final topdressing will be 2veg & 4bloom.
~If you have 444 & want to use it. Use 444 in place of Bloom until flower. Once you flip topdress in Veg & Bloom..
~Old Ratio for high calcium Dr Earth - Start 50/50 Veg & AP. First transplant 50/50 Final transplant 50/50 or 1-2tbsp less Veg. Flip topdress 50/50 Veg & Bloom. Final topdress 30/70 Veg & Bloom or All Bloom.
~Ratios are not far from each other but do show a difference in flowers. Just remember you can mix any way you want still get great results.

I'm so glad to have found you. Was about to send the veg fertilizer back as I am just setting up and indoor herb, lettuce and green onion container garden and Dr Earth bag didn't break it down enough for my needs. You quickly solved that for me. Thank You. My age made my yard/garden/tree upkeep too hard. But not growing anything in an apartment has been horrible. Still in my heart a yardener. Mixing my own coco coir (blocks) and perlite to accomadate way less space. With your advise and paint strainer will have the juice to make it all work.
I’ve used this method for the past two years and it’s the easiest low stress method I’ve found. The last run I did was the best ever in quality and weight and it was so easy is was actually the most boring run I ever done in ten plus years of growing. 👽👍
🌳🍻
Hi! Question. If using amended soil should I be planting with Dr. Earths added ? or plant and then top dress when needed?
@my stro if the soil your using is amended, then wait 3-4weeks before adding dr earth
So yes plant first
@@stealthgrows Thanks !
Fast forward to 2 minutes, you're welcome 😂😂. Great video!
The 4-4-4 has calcium in it also.
So does the flower girl, all 3 contain calcium despite it not being on the bag(on Dr earth website though it shows)
With this method,your smoke will be better than the dispensary!💯🤞🏾good shi bro ,you kno I use this
I agree. Switched from bottled synthetics, to bottled organics (foop, biobizz, and some others).Then this past year switched to Dr Earth, worm castings, kashi blend and my product has never been better !
The dispensaries never seem to have a fresh product. It's always been packed months before.
Not to mention white label and not true genetics
I,m a nube but using Dr earth 222 for sprout and early seedling. Then transplant into the full mix.????? Auto,s,,, uhh big pot full mix but dig out the center ,put a solo cup in half way ,pat down ,then remove and fill that with a 2 2 2 mix and grow into the richer. Just thinking.
After you top dress, do the nutrients now give you another 3-4 weeks before another top dress is needed ?
Yes, 3 weeks between top dressings😊
so when doing a top dressing can you just add to the top of the pot if there isnt much extra room for soil ? like can i mix the ten tablesoons in half galon of soil to top dress ?
Yes. Sometimes it's necessary when the roots have taken all available space.
Can you use the flower girl as a tea if so what's the quantity to a gallon of water
Ur the man.
Thank you for your ratios
Hey anychance at 3ft where should I have my marshydro sp 3000 in flower
Cam i omit the compost and worm cadtings throughout the grow or do i need at least the worm castings?
Worm castings help contribute beneficial microbes, bacteria, nematodes and such. Excellent for your roots. You can omit but myself and most other organic growers on YT use like 20% worm castings in their soil mix and then topdress with new nutrients and worm castings.
@@Tuoni996 ok I was planning on just using recharge every once and a while for microbes but I guess I'll just use work casting
@@isaaccutlip5815 make sure to supplement and feed that bacteria with teas about every other week. Just helps encourage microbe and fungi growth. Always aerate the tea though or it goes sour and poisons your plants
Question: Royal Gold Tupur is soilless media; why the higher PH? Did you have poor results in the 5.5-6.5 range? I use Coco with GH and always try to keep it around 5.8. To be fair, I have never tried 6.4-6.7. Is this because the amendments act as soil?
All he did was make soil, the coco is just the base. Look at other “soils” they are either peat or coco based.
As for coco have you bumped your ph up in flower? About week 2 I go up to 6.0-6.1. I’ve noticed a better response.
I have the same name on Instagram if you wanna see my results.
@@Modifiedtaco Thanks! That makes sense! He has actually built soil hence the higher PH ranges. Illinois recently got the right to grow, but it took time to get a medical card (required for home growing), and we are just starting our third grow. I haven't experimented at all, but I will try the increase after week 2 flower. I hope with great info like this, we will switch to organic for our next grow!
@@pwent33 I’m in Illinois too. I have been growing a while now. I started in soil, then switched to coco after learning that I could steer my crop easier. I will say a gradual climb in PH is working, I was taught this by a mentor. If you look at the availability’s of nutrients on a ph scale, what the plant needs later in flower rises. I start my clones in 5.6-5.7 then up to 5.8 after I see roots. Then stay at 5.8 until week 2 of flower.
If you are on Instagram I have the same handle. Hit me up if you need clones. I have the entire seed junky catalog, and other breeder cuts.
Yes
Hello i do understand anything which u explaining but i got one question.this is an organic fertilizer so doesnt they need microorganisms in the earth?Like could i use biobizz lightmix soil as example with Dr earth for it?
You can use Dr. Earth with any type of soil.
@@stealthgrows thank you a lot mate :)
I used the greenback and I used the flower girl I don't use the triple 4 in the middle
Don’t fall for the scammers
I use your way. Lol
Worm castings are good for photos? So not good for auto or anything else?
Why are the people that experiment with growing in nothing but worm castings?
Worm castings are great for both. I wouldnt grow in pure castings though. I use a 1:1:1 rration. Example = 1 cu ft peat moss, 1 cu ft compost/wormcastings, and 1 cubic foot of perlite or rice hulls. Plus Dr earth amendments ofc. Never had any problems and I use worm castings from day 1.
your are a da y do u show all purpose and dont use it?
Yuck dr earth make your own soil lasts forever and way better start with a coots mix if your a beginner I guarantee best results with living soil some malted barley and kelp meal pro tip👍
Worm castings don't get moldy. What's happening is you're diluting your pearlite ratio and getting less drainage. You can put in 30% of your total soil volume as Worn castings but you have to put in an equal amount of pearlite. In fact, that's going to improve your soil quality by a very large margin.
I know that most people do not give warnings about mold when using castings and compost. He has to adapt what he does by what he sees. That’s why all the different gardeners on youtube are good. Man a Dr Earth Cannabis channel. Awesome
i have noticed if you use to much WC with a top dress it gets muddy then dries hard on surface
I was so glad to see this comment cus i was freaking out a bit cause i put in like 20-25% worm castings in my mix, but ive also seen some amazing grows wit no perlite and only coco and worm castings so ,I dont know but im really liking DR earth Im doing exact ratio Stealth grows gives us and so far my girls look really good..i know its year old but look your comment helped me a yr later so maybe mines will help someone else.
i might try that volcanic rock humus stuff..
@@truthonly7699 When worm castings or compost top dressings becomes a hard layer you can break it up into chunks or aggregate. I use a small hand size rake tool. Aggregate soil is the highest yielding soil, most of the common potting soils are based on the old Cornel university aggregate mix developed in the '70's if my memory serves me correct. Aggregate = Chunks
Any chance of you giving us a series of photo Dr. Earth? Or did you already I can't remember ,herbs you know......are you having any deficiency issues come flower? First time using this stuff..give me confidence.....thanks for the content
Don’t fall for the scammer
For those that don't know you have to water very slowly with fabric pots or the water will run off the sides a lot of people don't know that
Thanks.Appreciate that tip as a first time grower
I figured that out this year. Used them for the first time.
I like to "dig" a trench around the stalk about 6-8" around, then feed or water in the trench only letting it soak in, after week 3 I bottom feed 2/3 of the time.
Put the fabric pot in a saucer and bottom water. Boom, problem solved. But yeah that is kind of annoying, which is why I use plastic. AirPots are the way for me. You get the sturdiness of plastic and the air pruning of fabric pots. Best of both worlds.
If I'm starting with Fox Farm Ocean Forest, would I still top dress with both the HomeGrown and FlowerGirl? If so, would I just follow the Dr. Earth feed schedule and just combine the two instead of separating them?
What did u figure out ? Or what did u end up doing ?
Remember with organic growing You are just a Stewart for the soil the plant takes what it needs and wants, you have nothing to do with that. I’ve added too much and too little With no catastrophic results so you don’t half to be too Precise.
I use DR Earth all the time, use rain water mostly, tap when I have to, but I've never once PH'd my runs since using organics. Got sick of that "issue" and worrying about it, when I used to DWC. I realized, I like how God grows it, so I mimic that instead. God never seems to have a PH issue with his weed. I haven't had an issue I'm aware of. If a problem arises, the plants let me know. I'm not looking to break any records. Thank you so much for your information. It's excellent. These amendments are fantastic.
Should I add some dolomite lime to the mix to help stabilize ph? I’m just so worried about nutrient lock out. I’ll be using spring water that is hopefully in the 6.2-6.8 range
Do you know why they would say behind the bag that it last for 2 months ? But it doesn’t ?
I don't understand more that just 1 transplant. For photos, go from a solo cup to the 5 or 7 gal pot. What advantage is there to multiple transplants other than added stress
None don't do it, I've seen plants flower in solo cup
Question ********
Just curious it sounds like your mixing and just adding plants immediately into the mix. Others say you have to give the mix weeks to cook until microbiology is thriving? Just curious on this.. Ty!! Love the vids!!!
Some organic recipes do require "cooking" time but using these products you don't but they do take like 2-3 weeks to breakdown to be plant available.
I've always been happy with my results from using Dr Earth's products. According to them all their mixes have calcium, so you don't necessarily need a specific one. I've used the tomato and herb mix and the all purpose for veg and Bloom Girl for flower.
Right on brother 👍 thanks for not pushing the expensive bottle products or DTE same stuff half the price 🤑💚🌱💨☕✌️
Thank you for this info, I'm staring my first grow and have been looking for the method that makes the most sense.
I see that you used a non-ammended medium. My question is, can I use ocean forest or strawberry fields from fox farm with this nutrient recipe or should I adjust it down to compensate for the already amended soil? Really enjoy your content!
Yes just wait 3-4 weeks (depending on the soil) before topdressing
@@stealthgrows hey what if I just did a run with my soil? Ffhf and ffof mixed? Should I premix it?
Havent learned to grow photos or run strains. I know how to take good pictures and grow weed though. Dr that.
Mars Hydro.....dont do that.
Silly me. I was only using 4 tablespoons per 5 gallon container, My plants have been growing but they’re a little yellow and now I know why. I got the information from a feeding chart on the doctor earths website
Flower girl has more calcium than the homegrown. Flower girl has 13 percent. They should probably put that on the bag
Why use the bloom during the Veg stage?
Yo. When do you start with the molasses and liquid seaweed. I know u said every two weeks but when do you start and how much do you put in. Thanks
If I am growing outdoors how am I to controll the temps withing twelve degrees only wouldn't they all just die.
I only use all purpose and bloom. Works really well and is super easy. I feed once and then top dress two weeks into flower.
Dont fall for the scammers
Can I use Dr Earth Life AP fert.
good stuff.. I cant get DR Earth here in Europe but do use dry amendments from a company called DR Forest which are similar & do a same job 😎
This is awesome ! I used DR earths with a previous grow before I could find any videos and it was honestly my best run. I just started a new grow with Tupur and the dr earths hoping to keep the plants from having a nutrient lockout like my last run that I used fox farm instead and I screwed them up. Thanks for your vid and good luck!
Curious....did you use Cutlivation Nation from FoxFarms?
@@TwiztidPOPS1i use all 14 on the ff chart line up
@@TwiztidPOPS1only problem is that my auto got stunted bc i used full strength nutes of ff nutes on it
I used the Dr earth vegetable mix and I used the Dr earth liquid fertilizer buds came out real stinky and dense
I've had enough top dressing and cal mag supplementing, I'm moving to super soil.
Don’t fall for the scammers
@@antiblingdesigns I automatically assume that it's a scam simply because I've yet to find a promise of "something for nothing" that wasn't a scam.
Thanks for the info on the worm castings I didn’t know there a chance of mold by how it breaks down
It's not true. If you add a bunch of worm castings to the soil, you're diluting the pearlite ratio. The pearlite is what causes drainage and keeps the soil from retaining too much water. You can add 30% or more work castings of total soil volume but you have to add an equal amount of pearlite. In fact if you use the soil this guy is suggesting you definitely SHOULD add 1/3 worm castings and equal amount of pearlite. Worm castings are pure gold for soil health.
@@caminochef1132 ooh ok cool. That’s makes me happy because I use a TON of perlite in my grows lol thanks broski
Love your content growmie I love dr earth and recharge and worm castings
How does this have more likes, than it does views 😂
Good stuff , autos next please 😂
Don’t fall for the scammers
This is how I run it for 3 years now nothing but Dr E and worm castings.
Don’t fall for the scammers
@@antiblingdesigns what do you mean?
@@Bri91310 there was someone posting in the comments of this video that was trying to scam people. I was posting replies to it warning people. But the scammers posts were removed as mine seems to have remained.
I measured out 16 gallons of soil and added 2 TBSP of Dr. Earth per gallon of dirt. After I transplanted my plants, they only filled up 12, 1 gallon containers because of the soil settling. Will this cause a negative effect on growth? I lost 4 gallons because of settling.
thank you very much for your videos. when you say top dress at 21 days, is that 21 days from sprouting, and does that apply to autoflowers too? also, you said you flip to flower at week 7, does that mean week 7 since sprouting?
How do you water these plants?
Yeah, I'd like to know too. I was told to not have any run off. How true is this?
I think you are my caucasian counterpart, straight up🤔🤔. I also use and love Dr. Earth's amendments and our grow styles are almost identical, we even use the same exact soil mixing tote, lmfao 🤣🤣. The only differences there are is 1) I don't pH my water anymore and 2) you make content and I don't. I'd like to but I wouldn't even know where to start and I have no support for me wanting to it. I do give advice to people looking for help on reddit and I'm not even joking, everything you say is exactly what I tell people and I literally just found your content today. I've actually been looking for other cannabis content creators because the ones I like ain't putting out content as frequently as before and/or their helpful but just way to short, repeating topics (not always a bad thing), or clips from previous content that leaves you hanging and makes you go to the original content so you can either fully understand or just get more confused 😕. I think I might stick around and watch a little more of your content though and go from there 😁
What size gallons were u growing in
@@DK-gq7qe 3's and 5's, with an occasional 10gal to mix things up. (Just thought I should mention, I do not watch this creator anymore. Started getting to wack and fake for my liking)
How often do you water using coco as the base?
Every 2 - 3 days depending on humidity levels
Do you flush before harvest using dr.earth and if so what ppm do you shoot for? Thanks
I'm on my first photo run (2 decent auto harvests thus far, for a beginner, I was happy). I follow you for EVERYTHING about autos, dr earth, worm tea w/seaweed, etc).
NOW, I have to learn photoperiods!!!! Are they more difficult??? I just sprouted 4 in solo cups. 2 Blueberry Muffins from HSC, Critical Purple Kush from seeds man, and a GDP from crop kings.
In a 4x4 with a 400 watt Bloom Plus xp4000 (301b diode model), and two Viparspectra xs1500. 150w each.
700 watts total but I like having the 3 lights, better coverage, if I have shoet plants or tall I can raise up and down. More versatility with 700w thru 3 lights vs a single light. IMO.
Here we go, show me how to grow these ohotos!!
Is the Royal Gold Tupur different than the Fox Farms Cultivation Nation? Seems the only difference is the aged forest materials. Just curoius as I have tried 2 complete grows using the latter with massive Cal-Mag deficiencies. I even supplemetnted adding it to my waterings.
Do you give them molasses and kelp meal? Or alfalfa? Why would someone give that ?
suspend two boards between two chair seats or saw horses. Put your 5 gallon fabric pot upside down with the plant in between boards. Now you have two free hands. Run a kitchen knife around the pot to break the bod. Slowly pull up on the corner of the pot with some pliers and work around the pot until you can grab it with fingers and it pops off.
Don’t fall for the scammers they want you to pay for shipping a light but send you pics of some random stuff
I just roll down the edges of fabric pot. Never had any issues and its super easy...
Last year, I bbroke the amendments into 3rds and fed my girls weekly. They did better than every 21 days. I soak the top dressing over night and dump everything in.
New sub. Great video. I'm trying this method. I keep messing up hydro and bottled nutes.
great videos!! I just started using dr earth on photos and autos. I didn’t hear you discuss it (maybe you did and I missed it) but when should I stop top dressing before harvest? I top dressed my photos at day 74 and I have at least 35 days to go before chop, do you think I should top dress another time prior to harvest or let them ride it out? For the last weeks before harvest? TIA!!
Should I add some dolomite lime to the mix to help stabilize ph? I’m just so worried about nutrient lock out. I’ll be using spring water that is hopefully in the 6.2-6.8 range
Did a 1:1 slurry test on my 1st bag of tuper yesterday and it was at 4.8. Spoke to a rep today that advised me to amend with a couple tbsp of dolomite lime per gallon to raise the ph. Hopefully the lime and 6.5ish water will suffice. Shall find out soon.
There is a full video On youtube of just worm casting seed to harvest No added nutrients whatever 😅 best worm casting
I just purchased a bag of vegetable mix and the calcium is at 7.5 do I need the all purpose or can I get away with the veg and bloom
What if I’m using happy frog/ocean forest in 5gal pots
Appreciate the information💯🤑
Don’t fall for the scammers
Dang I be putting 8 tablespoons of veg and flower so that means I been over feeding
Why put Veg and Bloom in the beginning?
What's the reason for using the bloom mix in veg?
why are you using veg and bloom together?
If using microbes do you have to worry bout phing
All purpose isnt even needed
Do you rough up the roots when you transplant?
Hey bud, Been using Dr Earth, same as you (using your grow style as my guide, so, thank you!!!) but I generally use Promix Hp. ANYWAYS......
They were all out at my store,no promix, no Tupur, so i thought shit, im gonna have to use friggin happy frog!!! Which hey, its good stuff, Ive never had issues with FF soils.....NPK of the actual soil is 0.3-0.3-0.05. Sooooo, not much to it, but, i like starting on the white canvas with you.
SOOOOOOOOO, im looking and looking and i find Mother Earth Terracraft Potting Soil...NPK 0.19 - 0.08 - 0.11.
SOOO WAAAAY less than half the pre loaded nutes of FFHF
It was $17 for a 2cu' bag, and its loaded I'd say 20% perlite.
I said screw it, i treated it EXACTLY like an inert medium.
70% Soil
15% Perlite
15%Worm Crap.
I amended exactly i would with Dr Earth. And holy hell, this stuff is realky great!!!! Never hear of people using it for growing the stucky icky. But im impressed im week 5 into my autos.
This far??? zero nute burn, zero calcium deficiency, it drains wonderfully while holding enough moisture.
As for water Ph i have no clue....i live in mid Michigan, my well is 70 feet deep, water is hard as a rock, full of iron, calcium magnesium manganese zinc copper.....i dont pH it,....just sits out for a day. Too many delicious micro nutrients to mess with the ph.
Just incase anyone is wondering about some soils, some are hatder to get, more $$ in certain areas. Soooo, if anyone is looking for nearly a bpank slate soil for slow release organic fertilizer??? Have a look at TerraCraft Potting Soil.
Cheers brother 🍻
Can I use these fertilizer when growing organically with a super soil mixture 1/3 at bottom and rest filled with organic soil 5gal pot
You could. Just be careful. It's easy to over feed.
What about micronutrients?
Im try Dr earth 🌍 this run
Can yo do a video on how toy make compost tea please
Sooo every how many weeks do we topdress?
I just did the mix using the tupur and they do not look good at all. Looks like nitrogen burn. Leaves have gone rough and turning yellow. I did transplants from mini cups and straight seeds into the mix. Both are yellow. Bummer
😂
@@mrgrofire5848what's funny about it?
Do u ever find u have to add calmag to the watering ? And have u ever used recharge?
recharge is good stuff for living soil
Thanks again man lol always helping out.
Can i use all 3 for a whole run?
They work 😊
Nooooooooo
Could you save the soil that you dont use?
Love Al your videos man. Keep it up!
Just two months in on my first outdoor grow Although this South Texas heat is brutal! I've already made so many mistakes but have learned so much more. Im going to use this medium recipe on my next run. Thank you for sharing your content. Greatly appreciated!
AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING 😍🤩
if i wanted to keep a plant in a 1gallon till harvest how often do i topdress?
do i topdress more often or do i increase the ratio?
why? not enough soil to do it right
So would you advise against using only the veg fertilizer during veg stage and only the bloom fertilizer during flower stage, instead always using it as a mixed ratio for photoperiods and autoflowers? If you have tried them separately, what issues did you notice?
I've recently checked out the dr earth website and apparently they're listing the nutrient contents now, flower girl is listed at 13% calcium but it doesn't show that analysis on the bag of the fertilizer itself, only the website so I'm unsure which it actually is. For the veg, the nutrient content of calcium of 7.5% matches the amount listed on the bag.
Compost teas?
Dr earth and down to earth both great
This is organic yes? How are you organically "pH'ing" your water? Are you adding silica or mycorrhizae? Is it a living soil? Can you make a tea with those 2 products or just top dress?
Organic yes 100%. Ph ing water with general hydroponics (tap water).
Dr earth has mycorrhizae in it, no need to add. Yes you can make teas with Dr earth. Normal compost teas is what I give every 2-3weeks
@@stealthgrows I thought using pH up & down kills microbial life in the soil? I'm sorry I'm new to organic and have a lot of questions. Moving to organic because it's supposed to be less stressful than constantly ph'ing?
@Blitz Krieg I've heard of that. There are natural ways to adjust the ph so you don't hurt any microbes. I've been doing this for years & things turn out just fine. You being the grower have to decide what's best for you & your plants.
@@stealthgrows Thank you for taking the time. If I had an R/O system I would just water and never think about it again but I use bottled water and it's a nightmare. I'm pretty sure pH up and down contradict organics. Ultimately if you have good life in the soil there is no need to worry about pH but I find that's easier said than done. High or low base pH water will still effect your grow and yield.
@@blitzkrieg4877 I think you'll do just fine. Happy Growing 🍻
Been waiting to see this perspective
thanks for the info man
Do I start autoflower that way as well
No check out his Dr earth auto flower videos there's alot if ten Bic hope it helps
can you use big bloom instead of actual castings
No. Completely different uses. You can run without castings.
can you cover seaweed for me im lost
Great info!
✌️🍻
