First time grower - When should i add fertilizer?

Hey i'm a first time grower, my plants have been in the veg. state for about a month now. I was wondering when should i start adding fertilizer and what kind?

You growing in soil or hydro? Fox Farms is primo, but pricey..

fertilize now with a veg nute

depends if your going chemical or organic, soil or hydro. I'm using organics and the guy at my hydro store sugggested using Pure Vido Grow and Bloom. I've seen Fox Farms suggested all over the net though for some good nutes. Start with a 1/4 strength just to see how your plants except it and increase from there. The bottle will tell you how many tblsp per litre and per gallon. They will also tell you how often to feed it.

oh and when you said veg for a month... did you plant from seed and include germination or is it from clone and its actually been full on growing for a month?

I'm growing in soil. with germination they've been growing for 5 almost 6 weeks. Does it make sense to line the walls of my closet with tin foil. If so which side, the dull or shinny side.

Don't use tinfoil, pain it white, or get some mylar. Tinfoil can create hotspots and burn the plants....

Start the ferts now, a grow fert, until ready to flower, then switch to a bloom fert, but just read the directions.
I recommend Fox Farms, but there are a ton of things out there.
Start slow, and increase slowly. First sign of burn, cut them back. Take it easy at first!
