As this is my first grow, im learning everyday, so just a little question, When do think would be the right time to start using nutes, they are now 15 days old? Also how old should they be before i put them to 12/12? cheers Skunkey Monkey

i would use a 2 steps sys, one for veg only, one for flower only.

for veg you need high N, low P and mid high K, for flower you need mid N, low P and high K. also should your nutes contain Mg, Fe, Ca, and some more elements, but Mg and Fe are really important especially Mg which is needed to build chlorophyll

i suggest using organic fertz.
Get some nitrogen sticks, and some Seaweed/kelp extract.
Fish emulsion and bat guano are other good things.
I fertilize every other watering.

I wish you alot of luck !

You have quite awhile b4 you go 12/12 so dont worry about that yet, you basically wanna hold out as long as you can on that one...but superthrive seems to do the trick, 1 drop or 2 per gallon of water...you also should consider transplanting like pronto if you havent yet

Hey Skunkey,

If i were you mate i would rather lose some of those sneakers than lose your babies.

Still looking good though.

Just curious why you using blue and red envirolites for vegging, i;m just using 2 of the 6400k 125watts, red is for flowering, but like i say still look ok.

Good growing mate

All the best
