if you are in soil you can start the grow 2-3 weeks after seed (soil has sufficient nutrients to feed the plant for about that long) and at 50% dose.. after another 2-3 weeks increase to 100% dose... these times can be adjusted by judgment on the size of the plant... you dont want to burn with the nitrogen in grow so if your baby stays fairly small you may want to increase the time untill 100% dose... bloom comes when you flower... make sure to read the instructions and follow them carefully.. each product has its own directions.

i use bio grow and their bloom booster too.
It alos depends on what compost youre using, as some are good for around 6wks, but the best rule of thumb is to wait until the Cotyledon leaves(first small round leaves) go yellow and die, then start feeding.
its pretty tough to over dose a plant with organics, and i tend to start off 1/6 ---> 1/4 ---> 1/4 --->1/2 strength, vary rarely find many of my plants will take full dose without getting nute burn.
Also remember to flush your pots every few wks with ph'd water, so you dont get excess salt build up and ph fluctuation, because alot of nutes will lower the ph.
When you start flowering, continue to use the bio grow, but maybe at 1ml max, just to ensure your medium has enough NPK to maintain the plant thru til harvest....stop adding the bio grow 2-3wks before harvest.
for example as soon as they show sex i use 1ml bio grow, 1/2 strength bloom, and 1 tsp of molasses...drop the bio grow 3wks before the harvest window, continue using bloom,until around 10 days before harvest and flush with ph'd water.
kinda helps get the last growth spurt outta the plants, and uses the last remaining traces of any nutes in the soil.

my cotyledon leaves did not die untill a few weeks after flowering (4 weeks veg),,, so is this really a good rule of thumb?

Lol ya got me bro...
But yeah, generally the plants are ready for feeding when the Coty's die, maybe you had some soil with great nute levels and the plant didnt eat itself(coty) until it was ready to flower.

As i said in the previous post, Some composts have enough nutes for upto 6 wks, so if you vegged for 4wks,then went to flower, it was only just starting to run out of nutes that were available in the soil.
