I am using MG soil and I do have veg nutes but didnt think I was going to use them since I am doin 12/12...so I should use veg nutes instead of flowering nutes...coco is not an option for me...

In 12/12 from seed has a veg. period as the plant build a root system and get ready for flower. I used Mg soil a lot but got tired of bugs. just water with that soil and let it dry out before adding water because you can raise your ph and cause nute lockout, which I learned the hard way. After 3 weeks you can add grow nutes, there should a base grow with the stuff you got if it a bloom nute. Most nute systems have a two part base nutes , plus additives, a grow and a bloom. Veg and flower. Got to go bed. I check in morning and see if you got more question. Check out the 12/12 from seed thread. Later..rw

So what exactly is the nute schedule for 12/12? I am going to wait for atleast another week to make it 3 weeks...than I am assuming from ur reply I am goin to add veg. Nutes...is the veg cycle shorter using 12/12 cause to be honest I thought I was suppose to skip it all together

No, It still has to grow. !2/12 from seed runs 10 to 12 weeks. After another week start adding veg nutes at 1/4 to 1/2 what the nute you are using and see how it does. About half way thru 5 to 6 week start your flower nutes. You can sex them after 3 to 5 weeks. The veg nute put nitrogen in there which plant need. The flower has the Cal-mag for blooming. You are not going to need a lot of nutes...rw

I think you looking good, a littler fan so you can blow across the plant to make them stronger. The one you are using will remove heat well, do you have a exhaust port at the top to let the heat out? Plant look dry. The plants are smallish, that why you add veg nutes to help them grow. They grow when they hit a certain point. I will you fine....rw
