smoke24answered grow question 4 years ago When I grow in soil, I don't add anything for the first 4 weeks. The soil has more than enough nutrients to last at least a month. Im not sure what kind of soil you are using, but most store bought soils will benefit from some extra perlite added to them, that will help with drainage. I would back off on nutes, and only water when the top inch of soil is dry. happy growing.
