what soil are you using? and regardless of what soil it is you shouldn't be using nutes until ATLEAST the third week of veg. look for metanaturals or dyna-gro. if you have another brand send the link and i'll tell you if its okay but u have to goto a hydroponic store or the internet for nutes

so is it as simple as adding 13-3-10 to get 20-10-12 for veg since i already put in a little 7-7-2? i think there was already some of these nutrients in the miracle gro tho also. what do you think?
