I only give nutes once or maybe 2 times in veg, depending on how long they veg...when they have 4 full serrated leaves then I give them one feeding...and that is usually it, but if I am planning on vegging a really long time I will give another dose in another few weeks...abotu every 3 weeks in veg I feed...so most of my plants get one veg feeding..

^this guy. I feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed feed....water water water water water water water water. But I'm in hydro haha.

Honestly your schedule should depend mostly on what the plant tells you when you look at it. Not plant whispering, but understanding the building blocks and ratios and what the plant needs and when. During sexual maturation the plant would use a lot more nutes and energy when budding over vegging.

I just wanted to hear what ppl used and how often. I'm using biobizz soil mix and biobizz veg fertz and to max for budding, but I'm not sure how much I should be feeding. Especially just after repotting.

I use soil as well and this is my first grow. I feed every other watering. So i water monday feed Thrusday. water monday.. My plants love it!!! I hope this helps
 
I got a question. I'm a first time grower like you and I'm also doing it in soil. I have my line up of General Organics, the box one.

I'm really hesitant to try it on my plant because I'm hearing different methods from everyone.
How much do I use?
And how exactly do I feed? I don't know whether I'm suppose to give the plant the whole gallon mixed with the nute, or just a couple of tablespoons :/

I'm 20 days away from harvesting some plants that I ran the entire GO line with. Msg me if you have any questions about the line.

Hey I’m have a few plants varying from about 5 weeks into veg to 8 weeks, haven’t feed a drop of any nutes yet and they are all healthy and green but not growing much, probably need a transplant but my question is: even if my plants are green and healthy looking, should I feed them veg nutes? Would it help to prevent future possible deficiencies? Can’t post pics right now. Any info or advice about this or Ways to promote root or above ground growth during veg would be great. Thanks in advance

Yes if you believe they need to be transplanted then I believe that they do also . But depending on the type of grow pots time is important when transplanting because if they are root bound they will slow down growth and also start showing deformed leaves with different number of fan leaf fingers etc etc
1.Wat size pots are you using
2.Wat kinda of pots plastic or fabic
3.feminized or regular seeds.
4. Wat brand soil
5.wat nutrients do you have
Actually you doing what most people can't do. Some ppl just can't help but to feed feed feed their plants. I recommend ppl that use fox farm not feed their plants until week 6/7 from seed but there nothing wrong with using up the nutrients in the soil. But you have to know your plants . I would recommend in another week giving them a light feeding ( very light) because if you wait for the deficiency to show and can't identify the problem then things can get worst but if you know your plants wait for nutrients to run out of soil and then take care of it. I recommend if manufacturer say feed 15ml then feed 2ml . Nothing heavy but just enough to keep them feeding and as you see plain water is doing great so very small dosage is better and will allow plants to access important nutes right away.but they sound like they look good. Wat strain is it

Don’t want to get into what size pots or soil I am using as ppl tend to lash out or say that is the problem, I have more than a few grows under my belt and assure you it works. My space doesn’t allow for bigger pots so don’t want to get into that, also using plastic pots, can’t use fabric as water leaks from the side, again, my space doesn’t allow for that. My opinion based on experience is that yes plants go root bound if you wait to transplant but if (and I just had this happen) you transplant when plant roots just start poking out the bottom of containers, then the plant is much more likely to come apart after you get the entire root ball intact out of the pot, since the roots haven’t completely grown and most importantly anchored the plant properly. I find if you wait a few days to a week after you see roots at bottom of container then the plant roots will be able to hold the soil together without crumbling.
Back to my grow:
1) using Iguana Juice Grow by dr Hornby, the OG bottle.
2) Bubba Kush by Crop King Seeds. Fems
3) Promix and perlite 60/40
I usually don’t feed at all during veg because my plants look green and healthy, but I am wondering if I decide to feed, if that would increase my root mass or force the plant to produce more growth even if rootbound, which I know it needs a transplant, but again waiting as if you destroy some of the root ball during transplant the plant will be shocked for much longer than if roots were in prime condition. Also wondering if Iguana Juice will increase root mass or if I should invest in a root booster? Right now thinking of voodoo juice. Does anyone have any experience with this product or any other root mass expanders? Thanks again super appreciate it
