There should be a dosage on the bottle (nutes) i would recommend giving them 50% of whatever it says to give to them on there. You mix the nutes with your water and then ph it to 6.5 (thats the ph i do) after then feed to your plants. Never just pour nutes on your plants

what kind of nutrients are you using sg? and what kind of medium are you growing in, meaning, are you growing in soil, hydroponics, soiless, so on and so forth?

yeah, good point about the strength, never start out at what the bottle says as nutrient companies are in the business of selling more nutrients and aren't usually the best guide for growing cannabis... start off slowly, and you can always increase the dose if the plants still look hungry..

i wouldn't honestly get too worried about ph'ing in soil.. i grow in fox farms ocean forest, and never ph anything.. my $.02 on that one.
umm, yeah the fox farms stuff, you should have good results with that.. did you get the lil chart that comes with the bottles? if not, i can google it for you and show it to you..
i'd got probably at least half of what they say to use starting off... even don't feed the plants for the first few / 3 weeks or so of life as the soil should have enough nutrients in it to get the plant by for that amount of time.. if they start to look hungry before that time, slowed growth, yellowing leaves, etc, you can then start to slowly feed them..
just fill up a milk bottle, at least that's what i use as i know it's one gallon, with about 3/4s of the way with water, add the nutrients, remember less is more, shake it up a bit, then fill the bottle the rest of the way up with water..

Get yourself either a electronic ph tester (just google should be able to find some that way) https://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-GH1515-Strips-1-Ounce/dp/B000BT32UA < or something like this so you can see what the ph is. Then i'd recommend getting some ph down/up to adjust it you just kind of pour a small amount in at a time till you get to the ph you desire. Thats the simple version of it but like the person above me said i'd check out the newbie section it will have a load of information for you also feel free to pm me if you have anymore questions

But in the starting stages my plants aren't gonna want a gallon of water each it will flood them.

Step 1: open all 3 of your bottles
Step 2: pour directly down the drain
Step 3: give your plants clean water
Step 4: repeat every 2-3 days

Just kidding; Heres some actual help lol:
FYI you can mix up your nutes in a bucket and give them only what they need as they need it. Just because it shows gallons to mix to your desired ppms doesn't mean you have to use all those gallons at once, silly.
Never use your nutes at full strength, especially when you are using a fertilized mix already; 1/3 to 1/2 the strength suggested by the feed chart is fine for soil grows. Get yourself a water tester to mix to ppms instead of sorts guessing with a measuring spoon. 300 ppms is a good starting point without fear of burn.
Use a hand mister to water your plants when they are small if overwatering is a concern. Give straight water in between feedings; you can even just feed weekly of you have a good fertile mix already. Soil doesn't need much nutrient especially if you are using a quality mix. You will need to give cal/mag as the ff trio is notoriously lacking in macros but you can wait until just before they are ready to flip and during bloom phase when they really need a boost.

OMFG! It's the second sign of the "Poxyclipse"


:o :o :o :o :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :wall:

Does anybody actually take the time to LEARN something about growing a house plant (or anything for that matter) before deciding to grow?

Didn't I tell you in a past post to actually READ something about growing first? (let alone read the nutrient label on the bottle!)

Head is spinning, eye's blurry, feel like I'm about to blow after eating a "button"......All I can hear is the theme to The Twilight Zone!
Is Rod Serling haunting me? So confused....The end is near, TELL EVERYONE - The End Is NEAR!
