Depends on the soil. Do you use fertilized soil?

I start with half strength fox farm around this time. Quarter strength if you are very worried as others have mentioned.

You can start feeding your plants after the first 14 with a light dose of nutrients ph to specs . Hope that helps and good luck to you

You can start the nutrients but, at the beginning, 1/4 of the recommended dose, then gradually increase according to the reaction of the plant. Good culture ✌️

Watering a auto seedling properly.
If you have a seedling 1 week old in a 3 gal pot how do you water I hear watering till run off but wouldn't that be to much as the roots haven't reached the bottom yet? I also se people making a small circle around the seedling or others using spray bottles. I tend to over water.

Watering technique after mulching
How should I water with mulch? I know i have to wait longer to water (my whole idea behind why I mulched, it’s about to get into the mid 90s next week), but should I move the mulch to water the soil or just water the mulch?

Low EC in Runoff
If the EC levels of the runoff are consistently lower than what I'm putting in, do I need to raise the EC levels? I've read that this means my plants are feeding well and can do with more, but I wanted to make sure first. Thanks.

Burnt plants a bit with nutes for growing. When to start giving them nutes for blooming? (autoflowers)
I probably burnt my plants by giving them too much nutes for growing. (plagron alga grow) Stopped giving the nutes for a week, but they're still showing yellow tips. When would It be okay to start giving them nutes for the blooming phase? (plagron alga bloom) Day 35

Ec rising in hydro (6th week flowering - closed circuit tank and drip)
At the end of every day, EC rises by 0.2 at least. Starts at 1.60 and then in their evening it goes up to 1.83 ! So I have to add water (2L) in order to go down. Does it have to do with the fact they had overfeeding, toxicities and deficiency so they don't feed well ?

Flushing Autos
I’ve heard arguments for flushing from every 4th feed to once every 4 weeks or some growers don’t flush at all until the end right before harvest . I should note this relates to coco grow medium .
