are my clones ready for a BLAST of nutes? they are 24 days old, in a peat puck and FFOF, they have had low strength superTHRIVE from day one and one tiny serving of the EJ two weeks ago which helped them get their color back and harden off.
pic 1-2 the clones
pic 3 the current supply of feed. plus open seasame and beastie bloomz
....if anyone has any suggestion i would appreciate it... i'm confident on my path but i would not want to mess up now.
 
Hiya M8
I personally don't use dirt, I've allways used some type of hydro method, BUT I would be very carefull about feeding them at this stage, especially as you have them in, I'm thinking Fox Farm soil, I'm sure I remember seeing around the place poeple having probs with seedlings in FF due to the fact its a bit hot, don't quote me, but I would be very carefull, at that stage I would imagine they'll get most what they need from the soil.
If it was me I would feed them nothing at the moment, and if you feel theyre getting deficient in some element, I would just give them a foliar feed and see how they go after a few days.
Its too TOO easy to overfeed them, and the recovery time from that will slow you down way more.
I'm sure some dirt guy will be allong soon to give you the skinny from there perspective.
BTW I personally would cut the superthrive out now, I tend to use it up to this stage, then stop, and just use it at times of stress, (and I use it for a few days prior to taking cuts too to prepare them for the stress). I have read somewhere that too much supethrive can make them go a little spasmo, but have never personally had probs myself, but I do use it sparingly.

Good luck.
 
I dson't see why you couldn't give them anything. I do with my clones. After they root I continue giving them what they were having while attacthed to the mother. You gotta figure when they were still part of the mother plant they were being feed nutes up until you cut them off the plant. So they are use to having nutes. With my clones even though the mother was on full strength I would start them at 1/2 -3/4 strength just incase and I have never had a problem. No nute burn what so ever and last time I used MG. LOL.
 
this my first indoor perpetual grow... i usually grow outside... so i'm way more interactive with my plants, so when you mention a stressed plant what are the signs? if you know of a site/link, or brief description... they arent really showing a nute def other than not growing very fast, so i wanted to feed them to try to accelerate growth.

does this plant look stressed?

Your plant looks great. About week 3 under 12/12? I would feed your 24day clones but with a weak soulition. like 1/3 strength. sighns of stress vary but curling leaves tips down is a good sighn of over fed. yellowing or crispy leaves is a sight of salt build up in soil.
 
ppm pen clones 300 ppm veg 400 late veg 600 ppm bloom 800 ppm untill 4 feet tall then 1200-1600 ppm follow this and your golden ppm pen is 40 bucks
