smart noob question, alot of people kill their plants because they didnt know the answer to this

i say you should wait till its 2 weeks at least to give nutes, maybe a month

the plant will also tell you when you need nutrients

If growing from seed, wait until those first set of fake leaves (cotyldon) turn yellow (2 weeks), then give 1/4 dose. The seed comes with prepacked nutes and the plant is useing eating off the seed.

I give them two weeks plain water then a half strength nute solution on week 3,
i use a full strength rooting additive to the half strength feed,it is a good question,
i made the mistake of giving nute's after one week and fucked up my plants badly,
they never fully recovered from it,but you sure do learn from your mistakes....happy growing!

Yeah for the most part the rui community is very helpfull and of course you will get a dickhead answer from time to time. But everyone had to start somewhere so dont pay any mind to those.

Very true a lot of people post without even knowing what kind of set up people have it's
all get this, buy that,my nute's are better than those,even had one guy comment that my nute's were
crap and in the same post he said he never heard of them!!!!!!!
We are all here because we love doing what we are doing,it's not a pissing contest,i have as much respect for someone trying to
grow with a candle as i have for someone with an all singing all dancing setup,because in the end we aqre all after one common thing,
good decent bud,that doesn't cost the earth!! an dthe pleasure of partaking in such a wonderful hobby!!!
