When to add nutrients/fertilizer?

hey my plants are about 2 weeks in from sprouting, and now im going to start vegging and wondering when do i put in nutrients? Also, when is a good time to start flowering, cause i want to shorten it vegging to as little as possible, so i am wondering whether their is a certain size i need to get to before flowering?


Thanks in advance

any advice helps

i read in a book that flowering should be started after the plant is considered mature enough. 12inches -over

once you induce flowering.... the transformation will take your plant 2 weeks before you see pre flowers ----along the way the plant might grow another 12 inches then slowly stop upward and start bloom focusing

start feeding your plants now. seedlings are good without nutes for two weeks, generally.

flowering gets done either when the plant reaches maturity (alternating nodes and preflowers) or anytime from now (2 weeks after sprouting) and maturity to keep the plant's height down. if you have several feet of space, you will be able to veg for a month or two. if you only have a few feet flower those puppies now.

a plant will grow at least 3 to 5 times the height it is when you put it into flower. this means if it is 12 inches now it will be 3 to 5 feet tall at the end of flowering.
