Sorry not jack but OHMY the previous post^!
Everyone counts things diffrent, To me a plant is a seedling till it has a few sets of leaves,I veged till i was able to use the top as a clone then kicked em into the flower area.this is the first time i used the tops for a clone and will let ya know if they root. that was about a week ago and so far so good. Fruity chronic and blue berry might live on ;-)

I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest, it has enough nutrients in it to veg for a month without needing to feed anything else. After 4 weeks I start a light feeding of Maxi-Bloom (General Hydroponics) 1/4 teaspoon per gallon every other watering, then work it up to 1tsp per gallon until harvest.

Maxi-Bloom is a perfect start-finish fert and $16 will buy you enough for quite a few personal grows.. MB is not organic but does a wonderful job with outstanding results. Don't get caught up in all the nutrient-gimmicks.

I decided to order some Jack's classic off Amazon and give it a whirl. Fifty bucks for my nutes? wtf? lol. Sounds to good to be true. I have ten different gallons of general hydroponics and they average for than fifty each. Man I hope this shit works good.

That Jacks Classic will be just fine. There is absolutely no need to be spending huge amounts of money on nutes. NONE! Christ, if you do an organic grow, depending on how many plants you have, you can do a whole grow for under $30 with Espoma, and I can promise you that if you do your job right, those buds will rival anything!

Bat guano I understand. I have no idea what the NPK values of any of that other stuff is. Depending on the NPK of the guano, I'd say that would do ya for a while. Just top dress a couple of tbsp over the soil and water that in. Guano is pretty fast acting, but you'll have to have a pretty well established micro-colony to effectively use it.
For future reference, not everyone knows the NPK values of all the "grow in a bottle" nutes lineup. Names mean nothing to me, just NPK values.

Ehhh so you already got caught up in the nutrient gimmicks..lol

I would get rid of all that shit and get some Maxi-Bloom as I suggested.

Easy Guy!!, It will start breaking down into it's basic elements and can be taken up by the plant relatively soon. Organics are not like chemical ferts. All organics are organic matter that basically rots in the pot. Some things break down slowly (slow release) and some things rather quickly (fast release) in either case any changes that occur will do so slowly, giving you ample time to react to almost anything. Chemical ferts are very fast acting, like immediately available NOW, and any changes that occur are as fast as well. Chemical ferts cause a lot of problems that if not seen and reacted to in time can spin out of control really fast!, not so with organics.

i brew teas, 1/3 cup mexican bat gauno, 1/3 cup peruvenian seabird gauno, 1/3 cup worm castings. 5 tbs molloasas, a 3 tbs liquid karma. mix it all up in a Jug or bucket ,add 5 gallons of water and Bubble it with a air stone for a couple days.

and for FLOWER , I use indonian or jamican bat guano (high P)

or just break it down into smaller amounts

What KushDog said.
Top dress some guano (probably 4 tbsp depending on pot size), and make a tea to water with. In a 5 gal bucket put about a cup of guano in and bubble it for a couple of days. When you see foam, you've got microbial action.

Thx Ohmy!!! Also today I planted another seed that I germed and started germing a Delicious Fruity Chronic Juicy feminized. The temp in the room is now 82 is that ok or should it be lower??
Clone trade! lol 82 should be alright. Usually it's best to stay under 80 w/o co2.
 
Heres some pictures. She is a little over 4 weeks old. No nutes yet just put her under 150w HPS lamp and want to know if FloraNova ok and or Bat Guano???? Please help.... Jack where are you!?!?:-)
