12 days from seed or 12days since youve received clone.....if from seed i start at 1/4 strength around 3-4 weeks and from clone i start at 1/4 strength once its taken root....usually about 3-4 days after transplanting....you want a simple nitrigen rich fert for your veg stage and a high phosphurus fert for bloom stage.....

i use a mild root nutrient, Humboldt Roots, after about a week. Then it can depend on your soil and how much Nutes it already has in it to what nutes to use and how much.

She's looking good so far. When to add nutes depends a lot on what's already in your soil. If it has any time release fertilizer already mixed in, you may not need to add anything for quite a while.

I'd watch for any signs of yellowing on your lower leaves. When you see that, you probably need to start feeding. Start slow with young plants, maybe 1/4 of whatever the bottle says.

I burned the shit out of my first crop when they were young, and it took a while to recover. My next crop I did the opposite, no nutes for about 5 weeks. I was so busy worrying about my flowering plants that I just didn't realize my vegging plants had stopped growing and the leaves were yellowing.:wall: I gave them a little 5-1-1 fish emulsion and they perked right back up.

It sounds like its time to start feeding them. I'd start with some high N nutes, half strength at first, until you see how the plant reacts. The yellow leaves probably won't turn green again, but overall she looks healthy.
