Do you have any advice for a first timer in soil with GDP?

sweet!! first good advise would be transplanting into pots. dont overshoot the pot size too quick! this plant is a medium stocky plant. if you transplant into huge pots quickly you are prone to over watering and root rot easily. i would always check the soil ph run-off time to time to make sure your roots are in check. also this plant really phattens up and stinks up with molasses. also i found that watering and feeding ph should be around 6.8veg and 6.5flowering. but that you still may want to play around with that too depending on your water quality and run-ff tests, and also what state the genetics are in. and dont skimp on calmag if your using ro water. i noticed this plant LOVES calcium during veg state. i ran this strain 2 times with soil and hydro and i noticed if i gave it ro water with calmag with a 40-50 ppm that the buds got thin and the stalks got weak. this plant is dense and needs a good amount of that to stay strong to support those dense nugs

Cig,
how much cal-mag did you end up using during flowering? For my purple diesel grow the plants did real well around 150-200 ppm for flowering. (ecx500)
I am just trying to get an idea what other people do?

when I start with 0ppm I add calmag up to 55 ppm always in flowering. Witha hybreds I usually go with the egressive calmag mix 10ml per gallon. Then add my sensi bloom a+b mix. After the base mixe I. Try to keep my ppm's at 800 for the first 2 weeks depending on strain then work up to 2400 ppm then back down. This seems pretty high but I've been following an's agressive nute schedule and seems to work bomb for me.

I do the same progression half the strength as you. Strain must have a lot to do with it. The hottest my grow got was around 800.
1.6
I was actually surprised how low I stayed.

During flower i used about the same as you.
I would start out with tap water(47 ppm), add cal mag until i hit 200 ppm, and then i would add any other nutes,

i read a sticky about cal mag+, and thats what i based my grow off of.

2400 !!!! If I go over 1400 with my DWC plants they get burnt to a crisp. You must notice some leaf burning.

nope. what nutrient line are you using. every line differs from one another. im using advanced nutrients aggressive feeding schedule. here are a few pics of some purple kush buds i just harvested 2 days ago.

FREAKING BEATUIFUL!!!!

PARLIAMENTS!

beautiful.... well done
