When to Introduce Nutrients?

[Esteban1]

In a constant state of learning so here's the question, when's the proper time to introduce some FF Grow Big to my girls. Mostly all appear happy (3 weeks) approx. & never hit'em up with nutes to date. A few are a tad scraggly & yes will post a few shots later today. Cheers

I start with a lite mix of my amended soil (half promix) and put them into cups with real soil after a week or so. I use tea made of a little compost or EWC, molasses and probiotics and mycorrizhae to get the bacteria and fungi going good at three weeks. Usually before the flip I introduce the bloom nutrients to the tea. This time I'll be careful with adding too much nitrogen and will just go with the bloom nutes, molasses and probiotics. I add some myco once a month.

Sweet, been just aqua for the last couple weeks & will infact hit'em up with some "Gro Big" in a few days. Then I'm pretty much on schedule. Thanks Shov

Shov, Posted a ? On tea in my "Grow Log" & see that you had written about this in your log & right on track @ 3 weeks. Tonight will be introducing this commercial mixture, <yea city dweller> .... (see attached for chem analysis). A few of the girls were drooping this a.m. (Possibly thirsty?) & just gave 'em a quick drink, hoping this will fix issue cuz all of the others appear fine.

Introduced microbial tea to my girls y'day afternoon secondary to a "droop" & today they look refreshed, "back in black"! Simple pleasures. Don't know what may have caused the drooping but hey, that's history.

Read here, grasshopper, and ask questions as you do, and learn to read the plants...they will always tell you what they need if you are capable of reading them correctly. Just use nutrients when they appear hungry. The rest of the time they just need love and (properly Ph'd) water, fresh air and some decent light. This is a relatively simple thing to do...grow a plant. Don't over-complicate it.

Generally speaking, if they have a good root system developed, you can nuke em with nutes, if you want...when the tips of the fan leaves (just the very tips) are turning yellow, back off the nutes...they have all they can use at that point.
