My plant is just a tad under 3 weeks old and the cotyledon leaves have definitely discolored and are wilted. The plant seems a bit small though - 2.5" tall, the first 2 leaves are out and the 3rd and 4th leaves are starting to come out now. Anyhow, I'm planning on starting the plant on nutes this weekend.

Any suggestions on what nute to get and how to administer to plant? I'm pretty new to this. Thanks for any help!

DONT USE MIRACLE GROW!! it'll burn your plant. Ive heard Fox Farm nutes are really good I plan on buying some.

my plant is 15 days old and 2 1/2 inch tall, 1/4 strength nutes and you just mix it into soil and water.

Use Fox Farms for soil (Ocean Forest) and Botanicare makes a line of organic nutrients (Pro Grow, Pro Bloom).


Remember to always taper the dosages, start small at 1/4 strength then work up to full strength.
