Hey everyone! Im a newbie to growin so this might sound stupid, but I just transfered my clones into soil, and I dont know much about nutrients. I bought a grow kit and it came with Humboldt nutrients Grow and Bloom. My problem is I just dont know how often to mix the nutes in with my watering cycle. Or how much of the nutes to put in the water. Should I slowly introduce my plants to the nutes in small doses? Thanks for the help. .by the way Im growing Sour D... Permafrost... Blz....Hawaiian Big Bud and Bananna Kush! Im excited for my first grow!

You know what they say, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

I always recommend that you water with just regular water once between feedings - basically when the soil starts to dry out and needs water you give it nutrients one time and water the next, etc.

If the nutrients you're using were formulated for use in soil there'll be better instructions on the bottle. If they're designed for hydroponics they'll be too strong for soil and you'll want to cut them to 1/4 strength and as the plants get bigger dial it up a little to probably around 1/2 strength.
