jondamon Well-Known Member Jun 12, 2013 #2 It depends entirely on the choice of medium. Hydro for example is pretty much straight away. Whenever I germinate in coco or rockwool I premix a nutrient mix to presoak the chosen medium with. Soil however is different. Most basic low fert'd soils will keep the plant sustained for 1-3weeks. A good sign is when the cotelydons start to yellow then they are ready for ferts. J

Dr.Pot Member Jun 12, 2013 #3 The medium is mg mc & perlite so I guess it already has some time release stuff in it, the plants are growing at a good pace very healthy and its only week 3 but I'm trying to plan ahead and have something ready to go when i need it. Thanks for info

Po boy Well-Known Member Jun 12, 2013 #4 if u have a good soil then wait until they are at least about 18 days old. start with a light solution and work it up as the plant matures. GL
