Green Planet Feeding Guide 2025: From Seed to Sticky Buds in 4 Simple Steps
Stop juggling a chemistry set every watering day. In 2025, Green Planet’s streamlined four-bucket system lets you grow louder buds with fewer bottles—no matter whether you run rock-wool slabs, coco drain-to-waste, or living soil beds. Follow this roadmap to keep pH, EC, and flavour locked-in from day one.

The 4 Buckets at a Glance
- Base Systems—pick one, ride it the whole crop.
- Veg Catalysts—root boosters & stress shields for weeks 0-4.
- Bloom Boosters—PK hammers that swell calyces weeks 3-7.
- Quality-Finish Aids—terp and calcium insurance to harvest.

Bucket 1 – Base Systems
- Dual Fuel 1 & 2 – two-part equal-dose liquid, self-buffers to pH 6.1; 0.5-2 ml/L seed-to-flush.
- GP3 Grow/Micro/Bloom – three-part precision control; shift 3-1-1 veg to 1-1-3 late bloom.
- Back-Country Blend – slow-release top-dress every 3-4 weeks; perfect for autopots & guerrilla beds.
Pro tip: Always mix your chosen base after Plant Guard (silica) to avoid precipitation.

Bucket 2 – Veg Catalysts
- Ocean Magic – cold-pressed kelp delivers 96 micronutrients for rapid node stacking.
- Root Builder – bacillus consortium unlocks phosphorus & zinc, thickening the root mat.
- Vitathrive – B-vit cocktail + potassium; run 1 ml/L week 1, 2 ml/L through early bloom.
- Plant Guard – 14 % potassium silicate; always dose first, 0.5 ml/L veg & early flower.
---
Bucket 3 – Bloom Boosters
- Massive Bloom – blend of mineral PK + triacontanol for bulked-up calyces.
- PK Spike – 0-14-15 kick; 0.5-1 ml/L every second week weeks 3-6 adds ~250 PPM without tip burn.
- Liquid Weight – complex carbs keep microbes humming & EC stable.
- Bud Booster / HortiRawK / Karbo Boost – single-focus powders if extra headroom exists.
---
Bucket 4 – Quality & Finish
- Rezin – terpene amplifier with molybdenum; 1 ml/L from first flower through flush for sticky “varnish.”
- ProCal – 2-0-0 Ca-Mg-Fe; mandatory for coco or RO water, 1.25 ml/L whenever runoff EC dips.

4 Rapid-Fire Mixing Rules
- Order matters: Plant Guard → base nutrients → additives → pH adjust.
- Runoff delta: keep runoff EC ≤ 0.4 above feed; flush with ⅓-strength if higher.
- Sweet spot: solution temp 18-22 °C, pH 5.8-6.3 maintains micronutrient chelation.
- LED + CO₂: can push 30 % higher EC—raise base first, not boosters.

- Stock Up—Every product in this guide is available at Dr Greenthumbs’ Green Planet collection.
- Track EC—A budget pen beats burned tips; log runoff every other feed.

FAQ
Can I mix Dual Fuel and GP3 together?
No. Both are complete base systems; combining risks lock-out and EC spikes.
What EC should I run Dual Fuel under high-intensity LEDs?
Start 1.2 – 1.6 mS/cm, then climb to 2.0 – 2.2 mS/cm if leaves stay turgid and tips unburned.
How often do I top-dress Back-Country Blend?
Every 3–4 weeks; reapply sooner in heavy rain or extreme heat.
Is Rezin a flushing agent?
Not exactly—it’s a terpene enhancer. Continue using it during a plain-water flush for extra stickiness.
Do I need Cal-Mag in coco?
Yes. Coco binds Ca; run ProCal at 1.25 ml/L whenever runoff EC drops or leaves pale.
