This package is priced to help you save money. One thank you for making things affordable. I was running lotus nutrients and you can get there starting pack at 100 to take you to flower. For sure 1&1/2 times. Gaia green is going to last atleast 2-3 cycles depending on pot size or bed. The amount you get from this is well worth the value. Less mixing more time to get other gardening chores done. Thanks happy hydro for setting up this kit.
