when you transplant into bigger buckets mix your soil with 1/3-1/2 w/peralite. they look like healthy seedlings though!

i myself am usually light on nutes
I usually just do one water a week with nutes for veg. 20.10.10
Then for flower i do full strength 10.20.20.
I only use one nute for each stage

Yeah cause as i hear most first timers have problems with over nuting, so id rather just ignore it all together, but it is an important part so i do want to learn at the same time.

well to put it short you basically want a nute with more nitrogen for veg like a 20.10.10
then for flowering you basically want a nute with more phosporous and potassium like 10.20.20
But the again you cant forget about the lesser things like zinc,magnesium, calcium
But for the first time i recommend just learning about the plant

thanks for the input, I read that, and it does make it seem simple, I am just goin to transplant it to fresh soil around the time when its fourth set of leaves out. If they do look like they need food though, im going to ask a friend who has experience with it to help me, havent talked it over with him yet but im sure he wudnt mind

and to germinate them i just put them in the dirt... this started as a joke to be honest, my friend gave me 6 seeds, so i put them in about an inch down, an 3 poped up, the other 3 were duds, annd they've bin healthy since, I plan to update this journal every 2-3 days, i like to keep track of the growth, for fun. I didn't even have lights, I ended up finding these fluros in my basement, and im adding more

If anyone could throw in their 2 cents , would an hour of dark time , in the 24/0 cycle affect it? noob question from a noob grower!

those leaves are lookn fatty! if you are feeling timmid bout adding nutes dont worry about it cause good soil can provide proper nutrition for up to 100 days. if you do decide to pik sum nutes up just be sure to read what the bottle says and cut the mix in half than just slowly build up from there. i would let your galz get bigger though so they may handle it. you will know if you are adding to much nutes cause the ends and edges of your leaves will turn orange and burn.

Thanks for the input once again! Im gona switch from 24/0 to 18/6 in about a week, maybe sooner, still not sure when im going to bring it down to 12/12, all depends if i get more lights, if i have more light, im going to veg them longer, buut if i dont get enough lights i'll probably flower them sooner then later. Im gona update the pics today too.
