First off.. dont auto feed your plants unless you are running a hydro system... especially if you are growing in buckets.. your plants will all grow at slightly different speeds.. and some may need more/less watering than others depending on where they are in the garden etc. Second.. I like Sunshine mix #4.. initial runoff ph is PERFECT for cannabis! Third.. stick with any 3 part food... I prefer General Hydroponics Flora Series.. I find its usually one of the cheaper brands.. and it is also one of the more popular ones.. Use the feeding chart they have on the website (your grow store may also have paper copies). I also HIGHLY recommend foilar feeding with "Growth Plus".. spray every day at lights on.. stop 2 weeks before harvest... and I would also recommend a B1 vitamin like "B-52" from Advance Nutrients.. or "Vitamax" From Grotek.. Water with small amounts every day (quick count to 5 on each plant) And feed them straight Ph'd water every third day to keep the salts down in the soil.. Some guys will tell you its ok to drench the pots and leave them for 4 or 5 days at a time between feeds.. but I have found MUCH better results with watering small amounts daily ;-) Good luck!

Hi Kev, If I were You...I'd keep reading and plenty. If you need help with your first grow, you are more likely to get it, if you post more details...like from the trouble shooting list; ostreadfaq:.....pearls before swine

I just stole that from Dutch Pimps signature! Happy reading! :rasta: pr

Weird that they dont carry GH.. its by far the most widely used food on the planet! lol... Anywho.. sounds like you have a decent nutrient there.. anything that has 3 or 4 parts that you have to mix different amounts at different times should do you justice.. The main thing about these plants is that they require different amounts of nutes for different stages of growth.. stick with the formula recommended by the manufacturer for the first run or two.. and once you get a little more comfortable with how the plants respond.. you can start experimenting with higher dosages of food.. Cannabis can often handle 2-4 times the amount of nutes suggested in those basic feed charts... but condidtions need to be optimal (Temp, humidity, Co2, and lighting all has to be PERFECT), and you really need to watch your plants when increasing the feed like this.. it is VERY possible to have too much of a good thing! Sounds like your off to a good start.. good luck!

Those look way too small to feed dude! I would give them straight ph'd tap water (between 5.8-6.3 for soil) until they have at least 4-6 leaves... that looks like nute burn.. being that you posted this 2 days ago.. Im guessing they may not have made it... You gotta give those babies some time before you start feeding them.. tap water usually has enough natural nutes in it to keep them alive for the first week or so... once they have 4 solid leaves with 5 and 6 coming in nicely.. you can start with 1/4 strength nutes for a few days and bump it up a little more as they get a little bit bigger.. hopefully it worked out for you!

i would say the same as jay with regards to nute burn and way too early on in growth for any nutes. off topic u havent stated any air flow or ducting? i dont know if u have any already (if u dont, get some) but your environment is just as important if not more.. pr's link is worthy read. peace
