After a few grows you will know, if you get to k ow the plant and the soil. You could look for signs that the fort is running out of nutrients. And then start. But you would want to start before that. Pay attention to what the plant is telling you. Leaf colour and vigour .

Id say every 2 to 3 waterings. like above said. watch the leaf tips see tinge raise and burn tips or stress you added too much. monitor for those signs. highly suggest you do ferts extremely light vs any suggestion and work you way to increases. you can always add but too much causes stress and worse. good luck its a relationship reading these live plants you learn along the way.

That ffof will feed it well enough for at least a few more weeks.
When you notice lightening of the lower leaves it is time to start feeding

By week 3 ive given mine at least 1 dose of compost tea. I use worm castings and either Dr. Earth Flower girl or All Purpose, or lately Build a Soil's-"Build a Flower top dress". Most times with a splash of Neptunes Harvest Fish and Seaweed liquid.
With compost teas its pretty hard to "burn" the plants, its never happened to me and i dont measure anything nor strain out my solids before applying. Heaping handfuls of said ingredients go in my bubble bucket to aerate overnight.
Ive never measured PPM's or PH in my entire life besides when i managed swimming pools lol

start with weak doses and gradually apply more over the coming weeks. Ferments and compost teas are both pretty user friendly as far as overdoing it. Take a gander at the organics section when you get a chance >. https://rollitup.org/f/organics.59/
Yellow leaves start appearing. What do you think of dry amendments Gaia green?, or do you have other suggestions?. Thank you

Are you in soil? Nevermind the PPM in soil bro just throw that thing away, feed it the way I mentioned above and who cared what comes out the bottom. If you're in coco then you'll need it. If you're not sure then just keep updating this thread and asking what we think and how it looks. Post everyday, we dont mind. You'll eventually learn to read the plant and do this stuff with your eyes closed. At first I had all the cool gadgets and snake oils. When I simplified things, thats when is started growing the best bud Ive ever grown.

Those look super healthy keep doing what your doing. Most soil growers will fertilize 1-2 times either by top dressing or doing compost teas in flower. Usually its recommended to re-amend or fertilize in early and mid bloom. When I did organic I would feed 15 ml/gal of Medi-One by green planet twice a week or so, plain water otherwise in super soil with no problems. The bottled nutrient was more of insurance than anything. Medi is acidic so its smart to add some type of pH UP in soil to keep it around 6.2-6.5 depending on whatever soil you are using. Weed plants like a slightly acidic rootzone. In Coco I keep pH around 5.8-6.0.
Because of light leak outdoors, I had to bring some plants indoors.
4x8 grow area in a basement. 8 plants.
2 sf 4000 lights.
Maybe Week 3 flower outdoors.
Question: is the canopy too crowded?
If so what could be done about it?
Using less plants and spacing them.
Or keeping 8 plants and pruning/defoll? Thank you.
