Cpl days later now i have another one doi g the same thing im following technaflora recipe it says a soon as u tranplant to add sugar daddy and rootzilla so i added half of the reccomended dosage jus yesterday i talkd to a friend he said that was the problem that i shouldnt have added any nutes until like 3 4 weeks i need help
 
Are you feeding only the sugar daddy and root stuff? Plants look hungry. What's your pH?

Don't listen to your friend. You can't go 3 - 4 weeks in DWC without nutrients.

Forget about that sugardaddy and root stuff. You need nutrients even at that stage. Plants need more than just water to grow. You need a weak nutrient solution of base nutrients that contain nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other micronutrients. Those plants are not nutrient burned they're starving. Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about if they're telling you to grow those for a few weeks in plain water. Maybe they're thinking about growing in soil but hydro is completely different.

They're your plants to do with as you wish. But they definitely need more than just plain water even as small as they are.

Ok so at this stage which nutrients should i be using the 2nd step tranplanting stage or should i be using the 3rd step vegetative stage nutrients?

I put a pic of the chart
 
It says right on that chart to use the sugardaddy and root for 2 days. After that you use the vegetative stage. But I wouldn't use it full strength right away. I'd start at around 1/3 strength. But you better feed them.

I would just use the Boost and the Grow myself. I'm not a fan of all these additives with names like SugarDaddy. And depending on your water you could likely not need the MagiCal. If you're using RO water then you'd probably need it and if tap it depends on what's in your water. It's always a good idea to find your water report when possible if you're using tap water so you know what's in it.

Anyway, those other 3 things won't hurt anything it's just that at least 2 are not needed.

The Grow and Boost provide everything needed. There also isn't much difference in the formula between the Grow and Bloom. That SugarDaddy is just magnesium sulfate and sugar. They lowered both magnesium and sulfur in the Bloom product but have you using more SugarDaddy. It doesn't make any sense logically but it makes sense financially as they can sell more products. And that in a nutshell is the cannabis specific nutrient industry.
