2 weeks into Veg, and I need help!!

Hey everybody, I need some help! I just started my first grow, and I jest got my clones 5 days ago. I got them a week into their veg cycle. They're in 3.5 x 3.5" pots. I head a guy who sold me all of the nutrients at a hydro shop, and he said that he was going to send me a feeding schedule, telling me what to feed them and when. The problem is that he has since dropped off the face of the earth, I can't get a hold of him, and a couple of days ago some of my smaller babies started getting yellow and curling up. I've fed them twice in the past five days, and I was planning on feeding them tonight. The first feeding, monday was just water, I figured that I would flush out whatever they allready had in the soil. (Sorry, They're in a mix of cocoa, soil, and perlite) Two days ago I fed them water plus 2 tbl of Nutri + Start per gallon. I need help, I have a lot of nutrients, and no idea what to feed them and when, or how often. Also, should I transplant them now, or wait until they're over 12 inches tall and then transplant them into 2.5 gal. pots.

I have:

Nutri + Plus Strat 1-3-1
Nutri + Plus Grow A & B
Nutri + Plus Bloom A & B 6-0-3
Nutri + Plus Black 0-1-2
Nutri + Plus Gold 0-2-1
Liquid Bud .1-4-2
Folier Feed (Powder) 6-0-0
Head Masta
Atomic Wall
Seaweeds 0-0-5

Can anyone suggest something. I was thinking that I should add some of the Nutri + Plus Grow to the water and start, cause they look like they lack magnesium according to a forum that I read.

Throw me a bone guys, and Merry Christmas!!

BTW ignore the week 1 pre bloom, use your flower nutes, not grow nutes for that first week. And if you need to stop verticle growth use The Beast, it works great.

Power,

Before you fuck up with all those fancy nutrients you should search out and read the posts by "Uncle Ben" concerning nutrients and fertilizers in these forums.

The first thing I think you ought to do is upcan them into bigger pots. Not necessarily all the way to a 2.5 gal. pot but something a lot bigger than the 3.5 inch you've got them in.

I start mine in 4x4 containers but at two weeks they go into 8" diameter containers. You gotta have room for a good root system to develope.

Also you didn't say what your lighting schedual was. I'd go with 20/4 for vegging.

Thanks aparajito, that is a huge help! And Jack in the Bud, I've been thinking about putting them in larger pots, and I will probably do that in the next 2 days. I've had them running on an 18/6 lighting schedule, there seems to be some debate as to the benefits of the plants getting a down time. I would consider bumping their days up to 20 hours just for the heat factor as it gets cold here, and it's been dropping below 60 degrees during their night time. Here are some images of the grow, they were all taken within the last week.

Thanks guys!

Wow you have a lot of fancy nutes, I would be curios to see what a difference they make compared to my Dh flora series.. they are really easy to use..

I wouldn't know man! A friend of a friend owns a hydro shop and I got a deal. The guy just sort of handed me what he thought I needed. I'm learning everyday though, and enjoying it!

All the guys at the Hydro shop in Hollywood are hyping this line of nutrients. I'm about 2 1/2 weeks into flowering and so far things are looking fantastic.

How funny, that's where I got the stuff. Sow Cal Hydro in West Hollywood! Apparently it's the poop! Well good luck, and keep me posted on your grow, and I'll do the same. I've started an album for this grow on my page.

Ok, so I'm in flowering mode right now (2nd week), and I transplanted most of my girls in Fox Farm Bedding soil plus cocoa fiber, and perlite, but before I could finish, I ran out of soil. I then planted the rest of my girls in Fox Farm Potting Soil, and the rest. I also let my cocoa break up in a big tray of rain water, instead of tap water. This was 2 weeks ago. Last night I noticed that the plants that had the different soil were about 2-3 inches taller, fuller and have darker and wider leaves. Do you think this is from the different soil? If so, it's all Im using from now on. Someone let me know what you think!

Thanks, I'll post some pictures soon to my grow album!
