Hi Guys, Pretty much what the title says...
How old, days, weeks, should the seedling be before starting weak nutes?? Or just use weak nutes as soon as it pops up???
Thanks in advance... :joint:

All that i have read has recommended 1/4 strength after three weeks from popping and work your way up. Search and you will find alot of different theories

Been searching everywhere, 101 most asked questions, seeds thread etc etc.. Can't find this exact question..
It would just be in a rockwool cube, then I am going to put it into a pot with a mix of 50/50 perlite and coco..
Thanks..

Ok thanks all for the input, I was just curious as to how the plant grows on nothing but water though??
Does it not need some form of food also?? There's nothing in rockwool is there??
Cheers.

I dont think the time is the key to this question, but the plant it self.
I wait until the cotyledons start yellowing before the first feed. And/or I see at least 3 set of true leaves.

precisely........... read the plant. i wait to feed until i say to myself........"self.......those little fuckers are really takin' off." careful watering is more important now than feeding. make it send out roots by allowing the soil to dry between waterings. a constantly wet root zone will cause stunting and lock-out.

After you put it in coco you'll have to start feeding it. No food in coco. Hey Zoltan wicked hot avatar!
