When to start feeding nutrients to transplanted clone

Two AK47 clones rooted in rockwool, three nodes fourth growing out, transplanted 2 days ago into 3/4 Black Gold Planting Soil and 1/4 coco coir and perlite. Both look healthy for the most part, sprayed down with neem oil to eliminate any pests that might have came on them. When should I start feeding? The black gold doesn't seem super rich (.05-0-0) like fox farms OF. I got the hydro formula of FF Grow Big and Big Bloom, only plan on vegging for 1-2 weeks.

I normally wouldn't nute until at least a week in and then only at 1/4 strength. If I am reading this right and you are only vegging for 2 weeks I guess you could start now very diluted.

Yea the veging is still kinda in the air. I'm doing a closet grow and I have a 400W Hortilux HPS bulb, but I can only use it part of the day. So I'm running under CFL part of the light schedule then changing to HPS then back to cfl. Don't ask lol.. anyways height/width is limited so unless I do some crazy LSTraining and pruning I don't think I can veg it too long. I'm wondering if I should try a little LSTing, but I don't know.

sounds like tricky situation. maybe get it to max flowering height then tie the branches down to fill out your available width, that should buy you a few precious inches of height & increase light to your lower nodes for more bud.

I would start feeding now at half strengh for the first week. Then follow the schedule. I used to use ff, thats what i did and it worked good.
