okay bro, you dont wanna use any nutes till there about 2 or 3 weeks old, u can but ive had problems so if u do be very gentle with them, u dont have to use bloom until a bit later, just use micro and gro after 2 or 3 weeks, try to keep it at about 500 ppm, once they get big jump t hem up to 900 or 800 ppm,pending the straing, if u have a meter ull be able to tell what they can handle, for flowering u then use all 3 for the first time, for maybe 1 or 2 weeks flowering, keep it at about 1200 or 1300 ppm, once again pending the strain, some i can take up to 2000ppm (but that VERY rare) after 2 or 3 weeks swap out res with just micro and bloom until u flush hope this helps pz bro

yes sir there is a tool u buy, a ppm meter, if u can afford one then try this simple method, start off with 1 tsp or a half a tsp per gallon, if they burn flush and use half of that, if they grow slow add some more if they take off ur right...without the meter its hit or miss trial and error brother
