Question about nutes

motomarty22 · Mar 30, 2014

I'm on my first grow and I'm using a mix of topsoil (store bought) and perlite no nutes at all in the mix. I bought blood and bone meal heard good things about them, and I was wondering when I can start using them I keep reading after the 2nd set of true leaves and also read not til 3 weeks to a month which would be better? Also I've been debating on whether or not to make a tea with them or mix in with soil, any opinions? My ladies are week and 2 days old and they are just bag seeds. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Also is there a good nute source for micro nutes that I can get at a general garden center like Walmart? I have no grow shops anywhere near where I live. I understand that I need more nutes than the blood and bone meal but I'm really skiddish about midi or grow, not read anything good about them.

I'd wait till after your cotyledons have dropped at least

Maybe wait till that sucker is 9-12" before you start fucking things up... LMAO, J/K but many of us have terrible first grows.

Here is hoping you did a decent amount of homework.

I'm at full strength nutes and under a 600w mh. Seedling emerged yesterday. Shes growing like mad. Bring them into the world in a strong thrivin environment and they don't get all this shock and problems and shit people complain about by raising it to like 5 nodes under a cfl before throwing it under HID. You babied it so your going to have to go 1/4 - 1/2 and up. Most stop at half until they see signs of deficiency.

Have you got one seedling growing under that 600?Man what a waste of light,energy and money.You could grow 9 trees under that.And full strength nutes on a seedling?!Any pics?

That's all I've been doin for the last month, bout 5-6 hours a day reading these forums and trying to take in as much info as I possibly can. Well that and gettin my all homemade growing environment up to where I want it. There is so much info and diff ways to do stuff it's hard to pick out what I wanna do or use lol.
