3 months, thats rediculus. If anything I can understand not using them for maybe the first 2 weeks of life. But 3 months thats just rediculus. I have been using Grow big since the Papaya was about 4 or 5 days old.

I have not scene any signs of over feeding at all.

I have been using a one 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of spring water.

Keep in mind that growbig drastically lowers the ph of water so make sure you balance out your ph first before you give it to your girls!

FFOF soil has enough nutes for about 3-4 weeks, not months. And my girls do really well in this stuff, just remember to start adding nutes after a couple weeks.

Each Genotype has different levels of nutes they can handle

for instance I have one blue dot that has turned a slight blue color because of to many nutes. but the papaya is thriving like no tomorrow from the same water solution as the blue dot.

there are a million different ways to grow. to each there own right! as long as we all follow a few simple rules
 
lol i meant to say three weeks i was prolly stonedd my fault...but yeh im at day 6 for my girls and only one has popped out of the soil but its healthy bout 6 inches tall. I think ill prolly have to get a ph meter soon. but ive been using regular tap water i live in the country so its from a well.

well water can have very high mineral counts in your water.

check out ebay. you can get ph and ppm/ec/tds meters

i got both for under 40 bucks delivered to my door.
