Should I start Nuting?

Hiya, I'm using Fox Farm Oceanic Forest (Has "30 Days" of nutes(bat guam and earthworm castings) in it) and I'm at day 18 of my grow. I have a singular plant who has always grown faster, needed more water and out done all of the other plants. But it's been in constant state of droopyness.

I was wondering, could it go through the nutes, and maybe it needs nutes? I watered it, it was very dry soil, I KNOW I have not-overwatered. I'm not worried about it, but would it be risky to give it some Fox Farm Grow Big?

80 Degrees usually. All my other plants are fine.

Okay, so now I have a question. First time feeding. Use 1/4th Strength. It says 2 tsp a gallon. so 1/2 tsp a gallon. My question is, when it says 2 tsp a gallon, does that mean you have to feed your one plant that gallon, or for a gallon of water that you use, you use 2 tsps..make sense? Just don't want to fuck up and nute burn my monster.

WHOA dude 80 degrees is way to hot u want it like 70-75 more of like a 72 that 8 degrees higher might be stressing it but yea juss start out with 1/4 strenth and work your way higher and higher to full strenth

no start with a 1/4 of a tsp...... 80 degrees is fine...

I usually water 2 water bottles 40oz then when I feed I just add another 20oz of nutes....dont know the exact science but its been all trial and error for me and its worked out.

Your plant dosnt look like it needs nutes yet to me, but if you really want to, yes start at 1/4th strength.

Also, no you do not have to use the whole gallon, I water until I have some run out of the bottom. You want to saturate the whole medium, to ensure equal root expansion.

80 degrees is fine, yes 75 degree would be better, but its not that big of a deal. In texas were I grow outside it gets in the 100's and my plants always survive.

Good grow so far mate, hope everything continues to go well <3

Thanks appreciate the input. I'm going to hold of feeding until its next watering.

I just started LST on this plant. Maybe I should transplant into a bigger pot of Fox Farm Oceanic so that it has more nutes?

Also, does anyone know if FFOF's nutes deteriorate? My bags been sitting open, will that still have nutes in it?

To me I think that bag is to small and what is happening is it had fast growth and the roots out grew the pot and are becoming bound which then slows the roots ability to uptake water and nutes hindering happy growth and then stalling then dying.Also 80 isnt too bad as 78 is optimol without co2 and 80-85 with correct co2 doses not sure what ppp was freakin out for.I do have a question you are excahnging the air in the room and its not the same stale 80 degree air all day right? few changes a day maybe 8 changes at least getting the old air out and bringing all new air in? You also have a fan blowing the air around inside keeping it circulating and not stale around the plant as that can smoother a plant if not done making it droop

i'll say that 85 is the max temp level

I just started a oscillating fan on the actual plant, before I just had it running above the plants. Hoping that will create plant strength. Also, the plant is taking water fast and is still growing amazingly fast although its drooping, so I don't think it is root bound yet. It's a 1/2 gallon pot. I'll transfer to 3 gallon next watering and then nute after that watering.

It's cool, I don't think I'll be able to tell if its droopy anymore anyways. LST has made all my leaves loppsided.
