hey every one
i was just wondering if you guys could tell me when to start with the nutes
i did have a quick look around but found nothing that really helped me , but im sure this info is around.
im not brand new to growing but i am trying to reschool myself on proper feeding, i seem to go a little hard on the nutes to soon and burn every thing.
so this grow i wanna do it right(without the use of a tds meter)
ok so i have
one seedling(im on the any more than one plant and im calling the cops rule)
3 weeks old
2 sets of real leaves
20 mm tall
in a peat pod (the ones that expand)
24 hour cfl light
just on water at the moment
roots just showing
canna nutes
phed water at 5.8

ok also this little beast is going into my new ebb and flow system
that i just made(single plant in a stealth locker)under cfl light then changing
to a 400w hps lamp . has any one have advice on when they think its a good time to go to the bigger lamp and do you think that superthrive is as good as every says it is ,i hear great things but i have not used any of it
thank you for your time any help would be great
your loving stoner jimmy xxxooo
if you want pics just ask
i also have a weird re-veg project going on if any one cares

2 weeks from seed is too young to start. I would wait at least 3-4 weeks. You will see your plants start to slow in growth and that's the time. I have burnt the crap outta my seedlings by following the "directions on the label" and nuting 1/4 strength from seed. I don't know that anyone is going to say wait 3 weeks blah blah blah, because each situation is defferent. If you have factors like lights effecting growing (from non sufficient lighting) I do believe you can get by longer that the plant can grow on just ph'ed water.

well it is in those peat pot and they would be able to feed them for a while
but i use rw and this is new
what about light switch over how tall would you say(maybe 4 nodes)
thanks to both of you
but i would love to hear more opinions

yeah def wait till ur plants are at LEAST 3-4 weeks old.. nute burn is a bitch..

How big is your locker. If it is small and you want to start 12/12 as soon as you put it under the bigger light it should be sooner. Or you need to at least start planning how you are going to train your plant.

Do you already have the big lamp? If not for two plants you might want to grow with cfl all the way.

I'm an absolute newb on my first grow...so take this FWIW.

The advice I got was to start at 3 weeks from sprout with a weak solution. I grew from seed in a pellet as well then planted the pellet into a big pot under CFLs.

Grow thread is in my sig.
