[Growyourown420]

i have a 5 day old seedling that i have growing should i use vegging nutrients i have floragro and it said for seedlings mix 1/4 tbl spoon for seedlings anyone have an opinion of when to add nutrients im using fox farm ocean soil.

FFOF has enough in it already. So don't feed it!

I would give it a few more days. Most say don't add any nutes for 3 weeks but in my limited experience adding a small amount of nutes early helps.

My first grow I didn't know what I was doing and was short on cash so I nuted in the 2nd week with MG plant grow. Plants grew wonderfully. Beautiful and green.

2nd grow I went by the 3 week rule and the plants didn't do nearly as well.

Wait, that seedling in your pic is 5 days old? From seed or sprout?

 

[Growyourown420]

from seed how is the size of it im not sure if its too small or not?

they will let u kno when theyre hungry

seedlings contain enough energy within themselves from the seed to get to their "true" third leaf set. after that do nothing but water and root beneficials because foxfarm has plenty of organic nutes to feed it for weeks

Its fine. I was wondering, knew it looked small if it was 5 days from sprout (above soil).

yea i was thinking of buying some white shark root nutrients anyone have any luck with this?

Great White Shark, RootWeb, Oregonism XL, they are all beneficial bacterias for root growth and all work well. We use and recommend any of these products for strong root development.

i actually like Orca which is from Plant Success the makers of Great White. its made for hydro in that it doesn't contain any of the trichoderma found in Great White which i find too aggressive against all the other microbes i inoculate with. Roots Excelurator is my personal favorite though hands down.

FFOF has alot of nutes in it plant will grow fine no nutes for one month in most cases is u add nutes to FFoF it will burn the plant!

Great white shark is a root fungus called mycorrhizae. They are not nutrients they just help out the roots in a good way. I would highly recommend using a mycorrhizae product once you transplant.

You got pretty lucky that the soil didn't burn your sprout. Next time use a soilless medium.

FFoF is well known to burn plants..it should ideally be mixed with FF light warrior in a 2 to 1 ratio
