Ok, I really thought I could find this answer myself. But I couldnt find a definite one, so Im going to have to ask. When should I start feeding them nutes? They sprouted about 3 weeks ago. Check my grow for the latest pics... Are they ready?

Anyone? I really need to know.. /

Assuming you have them in some type of soil with nutes in it people generally say to start adding nutes at 3 weeks. Start off slow with them...1/4 strength is probably best and if they respond well slowly up the concentration.

I'm a newb but have been learning that using my soil and my seeds I need to start watering with 1/2 strength nutes about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks after sprouting. Then in a week it's full strength. But I am using fairly mild organics.

I used Baby Bio at full to full+half strength and they loved it at 5 weeks onward (OK - I waited a bit long, and baby bio is houseplant food really - but at an NPK of 10.6 4.4 1.7 it works fine if you give between 5-15 drops per litre! - I actually started off with 6 drops per 250ml and the plants thrived!)

Im using Canna vega for veg and canna flores for flowering. Its been about 3 or 4 weeks since they sproutrd. Shoud I give them 1/2 or 1/4 strength next feed?

I'd guess keep it quarter next feed then up the dosage the time after and see what happens...if they burn they can be revived, but I like to be cautious - how many times u fed them?
