First Grow

I was under the impression that with soil you should feed once every other watering. However I'm sure that I would inevitably feed twice in a row, so I decided to feed 50% at each watering. I ramped up the nutrients, as I was using FFOF soil, which is already preloaded for about 3-4 weeks worth. Plants are responding well (no yellowing, discoloration, wilting, etc.), but are growing a bit too much (at almost 2 inches a day). I'm afraid I'm going to need a taller tent (I can go to a 4x4x6.5 by tomorrow), and will still probably need to tie them over. Currently the tallest plant is only 6" from the glass on the light hood.

I'm using The Guano Company's Super Tea (5-5-1) and Budswel (0-7-0) dry mixes. The bag has directions on mixing in either soil or water, but I haven't been able to find anything regarding a recommended feeding schedule. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Edit:
The bigger tent was ordered today, should be at the house by the time I get home tomorrow (I love Amazon Prime - got free overnight shipping on this order)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V9PBXO - I think I could easily grow 9 plants, 12/12 from seed in here. I think I am probably going to turn my 2x4x5 into a drying tent.

Also got my Attitude order in today, started soaking a single berry bomb seed (also have some bubblegummers - might should be interesting). Got a dinafem super silver and a dinafem critical auto for the freebee seeds. Has anyone had experience with any of the above strains?

The new tent (4x4x6.5) is working out nicely. Glad I bought it, as the tallest girl is now 48" tall.

I did up the nutes to 100% as del6666 suggested. The three tallest plants didn't seem to mind, but shortest girl seemed to suffer very badly (I had to trim about 12 badly damaged fan leaves from the shortest plant).

Anyone care to give an estimate on time left? Also, what's up with the yellow spotting in the last pic?

The seedling is a 2 week old feminized berry bomb. I'm also starting a super silver that popped open yesterday, will transplant it to a waterfarm in the next few days.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'm pretty please seeing how this is my first shot at doing this. The spotting is only on one plant, the second smallest. The smallest one took the nutrient burn the worst, so I'm thinking this may be caused by the same. Will minor nute burn look like this?

I meant Berry Bomb (not bubble bomb, I also have some bubblegummer I'll start in a couple of weeks - totally screwed that up in my head). I ordered them from the attitude.

just finishing big bomb and cheese bomb..........did them 12-12 from seed .the biggest big bomb was 181/2 oz wet...should be 41/2 dry............take it you have checked under leaves for bugs such as spider mite.............probably damage done through nutes.....or just a fussy plant

I do have some minor bug damage on the leaves, but haven't found the culprits. The damage is insignificant enough that I'm not to worried about them at the moment - there are about 6 pencil sized holes in each plant towards the bottom on the leaves, and I haven't noticed any new damage in the past 3 weeks.
