just a few question about nutrients

Ok my plants are about 9 days in..and they're looking real good still small id say about 4-5" in height..I transplanted them into bigger pots. I'm a little confused about the nutrients..I have Fox Farms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom..on the feed schedule it says to give them 2tsp per gallon of water on week 2..so do I just take a separate gallon of water and mix in the tsp of nutes? I think this is how its done but I dont wanna fuck up..

you actually want to start out with about 1/2 tsp grow big per gallon of water...you can mix it in a gallon bucket or jug...if you dont want to mix that much do 1/8th tsp to a 1/2 gallon of water...

You would take a gallon of water and add your nutrients to that gallon of water. BE CAREFUL. At such a young age, there is often enough nutrients just in the soil to support the plant. Fertilize too early and risk harming the plant. First time you fertilize, always start out at half strength. Ex. recommends two tsp per gallon, start out with one tsp per gallon, you can always add more, but once the damage is done, theres no going back. GL

Okay thanks for the help guys..now should I use that water every time? I water them every other day..I think I may wait a few more weeks till they get bigger to start giving them nutes.

Now that's using your head! You shouldn't be feeding an eight day old plant anything except water. I use soil that has NO ferts in it at all, and my plants don't get any food until they're like three weeks to a month old, and they are always healthy and happy. Wait a while, they'll be fine.

I think I'm ready to add nutes..but one more question before I do...I have a gallon of water..the directions says 1teaspoon per gallon..so I'm gonna add 1/2teaspoon..is that right?
