Critical time, need feedback on yes/no on nutes

[scottcc5s]

OK experts I need some feedback on YES or NO to start giving my 2 week old seedlings some (1/4 strength) nutes. I am a week away from putting them in the ebb/flow buckets system like Tiny has.

I SCREWED up two efforts of cloning so I had to go to seeds and now I am way behind in my time line. I just DO NOT want to screw these up. Right now using rapid rooters with distilled water, again next week going into my ebb/blow buckets.

The nuter I would use are "Cutting Edge Solutions": Micro (6-0-0) and Grow (2-1-6)

Thanks for any expert opinions

I know you want to get things going but the last thing you want to do is rush things. From what I see you need to put a small fan on them just enough to cause a lil wiggle to strengthen stems and I dont put mine in system till have atleast half dozen or so roots coming out of RR. On the nute side of things I would stick with plain water for few more days anyways.

Thanks, will hold off on the nutes. I do have a fan on them for 12 hours or so each day. I will move it a bit closer and let it go longer.

One thing I have noticed and I do not know it its a big deal but most of my plants have almost like a tap root (long one, 3 to 6 inch) that just keeps growing down to bottom of tray where some 1/8 inch or so of standing water is. Not sure if I should just keep bottom of tray dry or keep it wet. See pic of what I call long tap root.

That long tap root is what makes the magic happen. It wants water so leave just a little water in there. With those roots you can't fail just don't rush it.

Thanks for experience/feedback.....I think the only thing I have learned is you guys keep saying "take it slow/dont rush".

Just tough for a rookie to do, guess I expect instant frosty plants.

Dont know bout everyone else but I was the same way ..... infact sometimes I still am lol

Getting things setup for my ebb/flow grow and have room for up to 12 plants. My tent/room is 6x6x7 and I have 600 watt and 400 watt lights along with three 90 watt LED--UFO.

So my question is based on this amount of space and light.....how many buckets/plants would the experts go with??

[LOC NAR on probation]

All of them. You got the space and the light.

That's what I was hoping to hear...I will go with all 12.

I have the same system with 18 buckets running atm and final number will be 21.
