should i start nutes or wait?

northwest13 · Feb 21, 2013

here in this pic is 4 NL and 1 ice kush on the 2 week of planting them one hasnt germinated with the rest should i just toss it? when does the first week of nutes start? or are they ready to take nutes now? or wait till they get 3 full leaves :leaf:

for soil im using humboldt mix soilles and the nutes i bought are natural grow humboldt honey es and myco madness for the vegging next? is when you brew the nutrients for 24 hrs do you use the bubbler for 24hrs or just use it a couple hours before you feed? or can you just leave it sitting 24hrs and stir it up again and feed? and does ph matter in using organic nutes?

I have been growing organic for a while now and I don't even check my ph anymore. I use r/o water, guano, compost tea(recipe changes through grow cycle), kelp, humic acid and several other organic soil amendments.
I have such wicked awesome healthy microbes in my soil that it pretty much takes care of itself, stays between 6.5-6.8 all the time with almost no regulation on my part. True organic is the best way to grow, I can't recommend it strongly enough.
But to answer you question, wait, that soil should get the plant through week 2-3 w/o needing any additional nutes.

i would recommend you use 1/8 dose of ferts atleast to give microbes into the soil i dont believe twohearted seen that you said your doing soilless.

One note, I wouldn't bubble for 24 hours, keep it under 8-10 for the best results.

Just my experience.

dont fert 1/4 man just plain water has enough nutrients to get it futher than that. just dont overwater . but yeah i guess 1/8-1/4 prolly wouldnt even hurt it

This is what I do: When leaves, extend outside the rim of the cup you have planted it in, I would start nutes...
Wait, re-mix the ferts like above says 1/8 or 1/4... just water them way down...
Good luck man...
