Hello everyone. I am new to this page and thanks for being a part of this community. But i am new and this is my first time growing a cannabis plant. It has been exactly 2 weeks today for my seedlings which i believe might have went into vegetive stage. But, like i said i am new first timer so i wasnt too sure. I had them in little cups and first week sprouted pretty quick so i was afraid of root bound on the cups so i transplanted them to another pot. By the way, there are 4 plants and they are wedding cake strain. And my question is "do i provide them with nutrients at this time or are they still to young for nutrients?" Ill post pics of my plants below or with this thread. Thanks for your inputs. I do appreciate it.

The soil im using is called Kellogg Organic Potting mix. Added perlite as well into the mix. That was from the beginning. Then when i transplanted them, i added just basic potting mix to fill the larger pots. That potting mix just had peat moss, perlite again, and organic compost. Ive just been watering with distilled water alone. A buddy of mine recommended cal-mag to the mix

Really need to see the plants but it sounds love they could use some fert. Most times with fertilizer, less is better. Most all new growers over fertilize.

2 weeks is all the seed packs for it's self.

Start feeding now.

Feed, water, water, feed. don't over feed. watch the PH.

What have you done :confused:
Dont get me wrong, they look fine. But that close to eachother? You know they grow BIG right?
I think most firsttimers underestimate the final size. You deffinitely did. I would put them in separate pots immediately if I was you, otherwise you're gonna cut alot of roots off when you finally transplant!
And dont worry about root-bound, you are far away from that point.

Separate those plants ASAP. Cannabis doesn't like sharing root space.

They look healthy though. Not super familiar with Kellogs but if you just transplanted with some compost you should be fine without feeding a little longer. But eventually you will need to give them something. Just go easy when you start feeding. Any plans on what nutes you'll use?

Hi there. Thanks for your input. Yeah that i did realize when i germinated them. I had a seed there which i figured wouldnt germinate so i added another seed to the soil and after couple days, i seen both sprout from underneath. I do plan on seperating them from each other but i didnt want to do that when they are still young. There is a total of 4 sprouts. Those 2 and 2 others in separate pots. 20200708_170410.jpg20200708_170410.jpg20200708_170410.jpg20200708_170410.jpg

Thanks for your reply. From what i been told in the thread to separate them. I will definately do that today. Yeah i picked up the soil from home depot as it was organic. That is what i was just about to ask. Im not sure what i would start with without harming the plant roots. And how often i would feed them and using regular water. Would i need to order some fertilizer online if you recommend any. Thanks. Your replies are appreciated

Yeah, sorry, forgot the title of your thread by the time I got down here haha. If you transplant them into their own pots with fresh potting mix with a good mix of compost you shouldn't need to feed them for a couple more weeks. Unfortunately how long varies from mix to mix and im not at all familiar with Kellogg's.

Once they are ready for additional nutes it's really up to you what to use. I prefer dry nutes like Jack's, MegaCrop or Veg+Bloom. Not burning your seedlings is more about not overfeeding than which nutrient like to use.

There's hundreds of threads on here about nutrients so I would suggest spending some time reading around before buying anything. Just keep it simple to start.
