So, I'm a noob, been throwing mg soil throughout veg. I have one WW under 250 hps...I've been using Ph water, and that is all the last two watering, I've added molasses. Also, I've recently received my FF 6 pack of nuts. My question is : when do I know she needs the fert? She is nice, lush, green, and approx 15 in high. I've LST the crap out of her, and she is on day 3 of flowering. I've noticed some of the under/inner leaves yellowing, drying, and falling off. I haven't pulled any off. Some of the new upper growth have what seems like yellow tips of the newest top growth. I'm anxious to use the FF nuts, but will hold off, if not needed...any advice is greatly AP
recited! Thanks ahead of time!:leaf:

needs pics to accurately diagnose, and when you say MG soil do you mean traditional MG potting soil or MG organic or MG seedling?

MG potting soil has lots of nutes in it
MG organic has less
MG seedling has even less :D

awesome...good amount of perlite there :D

Doesn't appear to be nutrient burn, can you take the PH of the water you are putting in, the PH of the soil, and the PH of the runoff at some point? You might just have wonky PH thats causing a deficiency. From the chart I have it appears to be a phosphorous deficiency which could be from a real deficiency, or lockout, best to test the PH of the water as I said before, and the PPM of it, and the PPM of the runoff to see your TDS:

You can buy a six pack of ff nutes but not the ffof?
The 2 weekers look sick too? Can't wait to see the others~
Next time try some other grow medium anything other than Miracle Gro~

you begin adding nutrients when the seedlings loses their cotelydons. you start with very mild nutrients. 1/8 to 1/4 of recommended strength to avoid burns. always better to give them less than they can eat than too much

That FF 6 pack is hot hot hot, esp using in MG soil that's already jammed packed with nutrients. I would skip the cha ching, beastie bloomz, and sesame, first time growers absolutely should not use those 3 products especially if you don't have a ppm meter. Lets see a current pic of the plant, the pic provided shows a plant too small to begin nutrients, especially if you started from seed. If you're seeing yellow tips it means its already likely over fertilized. Current pic???

I agree, once it has large enough root structure and enough water runs through that pot it'll be fine but no nutrients for a while.
