You can. I use a similar microbe product named Urb. I apply it every week or 2 and just include it with my nutrient mix. ---

@JustMEhew If you don’t mind me asking, how do you top dress with the Gaia Green amendments? I used them for the first time in my current grow, but I was never certain or confident in how to apply. My soil was a mix of FF Strawberry Fields in bottom 1/3 and Ocean Forest/Happy Frog blend - 60/40 in upper 2/3. I was concerned about offering too much with the top dress when I applied - about 6 weeks into the grow. Anyway, I’m not sure how much good or damage I did with my process, which is why I am asking. Thanks in advance for any info, suggestions and continued success with your grow! ---

@Willum you apply the amendmdnts to the top of the soil and then maassage the first 2 or 3 inches of soil to “till” the nutrients into the soil… ---

Iam new to dry amendments also what i was told was topdress 2 Tbsp per Gallon of medium used every 3 weeks, and scratch that into the surface with a cup of worm castings and water in slowly. ---

@ChittyChittyBangin @JustMEhew Thanks to both of you for your info. I didn’t till the amendments into the soil and it coagulated on the surface and hardened it after watering. Very useful info and I’ll def hit the link. Thanks again!☮ ---

i’ve only used FFOF, but i think you may be feeding to early. OF is good for several weeks IMO without nutes. top dressing takes about 1 week to be of use to the roots. and break up the crust when it hardens so the soil can breath ---
