I started 2 weeks in cell pods. Then transferred to 6 inch jiffy pots, then I started my veg..my seeds popped febuary 28, but I didnt count veg officially til 2 weeks after, so for me, my plants are less than 1 month old, in 2 more weeks it will be one month, I dont count the first 2 weeks of life as veg, that's just me though.. about 5tablespoons of gaia green,5 tablespoons of coast of Maine stonington plant food is mixed in soil, I use cal mag once a week, used recharge and mykos mycorizan once also..everything looks healthy and green, all I do is ph the water and pour, and if I choose to add recharge or cal mag then I do..but my plants dont have no defects besides nute burn here and there..best grow I ever had so far..water every 3 or 4 days
