So i am 8 days into seedling. When can I give them nutes and what is the light difference between seedling and veg? post pics soon
 
Give them nutrients when they have abundant branch and leaf structure.

Maybe when they're around 8-12" tall. But it depends on your soil, strain, etc....

I started feeding when my babies were about 12" tall, and they were about 4 weeks old.

Just clean water until you see the fake leafs (non serrated) turn yellow. See the plant is born with it's own nutrients to give it a fair shot in life, and they are stored in the cotyledon leafs (fake leafs). When they go yellow, start with 1/4 tsp nitrogen/veg nutes.
Once the plant takes off and starts growing before your eyes, she is in the veg stage.
 
And the soil that i started them in i think had .05nit in it but nothing else. Cant remember what the bag said I threw it out. But they are growing fast. I mean When I wake up every morning big growth difference, even at the end of the night a bit.
 
Thats great. I noticed how good they looked. Just remember that when they grow fast they will suck up alot of water. So just keep an eye on them.
 
What's this about sexing your seedlings? I thought you could through em into 12 12 for a couples days to sex em
 
Yea you can throw them into 12/12 to see if they have female flowers...But i think its better just to let them grow out, and when they start having alternating nodes (staggered branches) they'll usually start growing pre-flowers.

I had a seedling that was 4 weeks old, just under 18/6, and it showed pre-flowers.

Judging by the pictures, i'd give that another 2-3 weeks until you start throwing nutrients at it.
 
You must wait for your plants to mature. I mean thats the best way. When they get about 8-9 nodes high, look at the 6-7th node and the pre-sex will show.There is no need to go 12/12 and stress her/him.
