Recommend fertilizer for Veg stage

[Sberarducci]

It's better to under feed than over feed. If you underfeed you lose a few lower leaves. Overfeed can kill a plant. Just give it water for a couple of days and then hit it with some epsom salts, should green up in about a week.
Best of luck

Wouldn’t watering it days in a row over water it ?
epsom salt ? What does that do ? Should I put the epsom salts in water then water it ?

With one of these like Coast of Maine you won't need nutrients for a while, other than maybe some Calmag....But you will once you get into flower.

There are many choices, but starting with a good base is important.

Yep, just water for a while now...You won't need fertilizer for several weeks.

What kind of water are you using? Is it from a well, or city water?

Hopefully you have good drainage. Cannabis has a notoriously high magnesium requirement. Most fertilizers don't supply enough. Epsom Salts is 100% magnesium. Use 1 teaspoon per gallon. I use it once a week. You can find it at any drug/grocery store. Cheap and effective.

Yeah I think this is pretty good drainage !
yes I have epsom salt but lavender scent so can’t use that I will get some plain epsom salt. In the meantime I watered it with some filter water for tonight & will do the magnesium mix tomorrow! Thank you !

I would up pot it into some better soil. Visit your local garden store for something organic....;Here's an inexpensive one

I start all my plants in a 50/50 mix of Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. One bag of each blended. However either one would work perfectly well. Hit them with a mild (1/2 strength) all purpose fertilizer 10-10-10 or 16-16-16 with epsom salts once a week. This simple formula has worked very well for me. Best of luck

I like to use Maxsea fertilizer if you can find it....

Okay maybe I’ll get some of that !

Epsom salts only when you fertilize. Once a week, or if they are looking really good skip a week.

I never give fertilizer at full strength. I would rather hit them twice with mild dose than over fertilize them.

I was told I am not going to have to fertilizer for a while ?

Damn … what should I do ? I did some of this stuff I did a 1/2of a teaspoon

That stuff is slow release, which means even if you did flush the soil, it's just gonna release more ferts. My suggestion would be to change your soil. I know that you just repotted, but I'd dump all that soil out down to the rootball and start over with fresh good soil. Skip all the scotts miracle grow crap (they are the same company), and throw it away. Scotts is a company with terrible ethics. They are the main distributor in north america for the nasty carcinogenic "RoundUp" product. Don't give them your money, unless you want to support death. Their products are crap anyway.

Ohhhhh okay ! I seee you don’t think it will stress the plant even more ? Do you recommend the epsom salt ? I’ll get some fox farm tomorrow
