fertilizer isnt about adding this or that intermittently. you may need some adjustments relative to life stage, but in general you should be suppling all of the essential nutes at all times. This is accomplished through slightly different means as far as nutes that are immediately avaialble or ingredients that slowly release nutes over time or need microbes to break it down creating an intermediary step before some of the ingredients can even enter the plant. 5-4-5 won't provide everything, but you are most likely in a soil if using this sort of product, so as long as it compliments the amendments of the soil to add up to a proper ratio of nutes, it'll work well. These sorts of products need a well-ballanced application with a soil that fills in the gaps well. I see a ton of burnt up plants late flower trying to use this type of thing - outside is a different context and works well because the earth provides what is missing and any overdose is more easily mitigated with shear volume of earth vs potted plant. Trial and error. If you see someone using exact same soil, you can mimic them and even that may require some adjustments. Just be systematic and improve what you do to avoid any issues each grow cycle and you'll have a good procedure shortly. at purely a 5-4-5 ratio, it's not something that will fully provide for the plant. Either something will be low or high if it is correct for 1 of the elements. It's meant to supplement wwaht is provided with the soil, and if the soil doesn't match up well, it's going to have symptoms at some point. I'm not trying to scare you away. Just don't think there is a one-size fits all with this product because there are 50 moving parts besides this choice. top-dressing is low effort compared to other options and worth learning. You'll probably experience some bumps in the road along the way.

https://www.facebook.com/ucannorganics/posts/our-new-ucann-feedchart-is-easier-to-follow-than-ever-download-it-for-your-grow-/419456852000116/ Weird link but its to a Facebook post of their feed chat. Can also find it by googleing "ucann feed chart" its the only one I could find and its linked to the ucann official profile on facebook. It says to only feed it once but if you veg for longer then 4 weeks, amend every 3-4 weeks via transplant or topdressing.

The U.Cann line of products is the cannabis specific products made by Gaia Green. Their amending rates should be on the label. If not its about the same as their all purpose blend of 4-4-4. "taken from their webpage and edited down" Directions for Use: Pre-mixing soil for hanging baskets, potted plants, and planter boxes: Blend 45 ml per 4 L (3 tbsp per gallon) of soil or growing medium. Top-dressing hanging baskets, potted plants, and planter boxes: Apply 15 ml per 4 L (1 tbsp per gallon) of soil or growing medium. Gently dig into the soil surface. Apply once a month. I have used this before and like it a lot. sad they discontinued this line though or I would still be using it. It consisted of 3 parts. Part 1 : PRIMAL EARTH "potting medium mix of living soil" Part 2 : HERB THRIVE 5-4-5 "veg fert" Part 3 : ABUNDANT BLOOM 2-7-7 "flower fert" If you end up liking it, they do make their basic 4-4-4 all purpose and power bloom 2-8-4 in their regular lineup. https://www.gaiagreen.com/products They also have a lot of other options. They are similar to Down To Earth amendments and Dr.Earth. You can also get more alfalfa meal into the mix and sea weed extract to boost the 4-4-4 to 5-4-5 like the Herb Thrive, then use the same sea weed extract to boost the 2-8-4 to 2-8-8. All dry amendments are set it and forget it. You can over feed with them and you don't need to PH adjust the water but it can help. Adding in microbes is also a great option as they will decompose the amendments and make them available to the plant. it follows the mind set of feed the soil that feeds the plant vs just feed the plant in the soil. Its good for long term use of the soils. Not great in soilless but it can work. Good Luck!
