My friend always starts his earlier. As soon as they receive their first set of true leaves and begin photosynthesizing, he begins administering a low-concentration nutrient solution. He typically begins at about a 10% solution, then 25%, then 50%. He will continue at a half-strength solution until they are transplanted into larger containers.
gainesvillegreen Reviewed by gainesvillegreen on . Ready for feeding? PICS Hello all I think my plants may be ready for their first feeding. This is based on the yellowed appearance of some of the new growth. They have been above ground for about 12 days. The soil is 50/50 by volume pre-fertilized potting soil and vermiculite. They are under 110w of daylight CFLs. I have been watering every 3-4 days. I have been misting daily, especially those without their second set of leaves. Any advice would be appreciated. I know the soil mix was far from ideal and Rating: 5
