GrandManstarted grow question 6 years ago
I’m a new grower and this one is now 18 days into vegetation and I haven’t added any nutrients yet. I’m wondering when the seedling will have used up most of the nutrients in the soil and I should start supplementing with commercial nutrients.

It's Usually around the 3rd or 4th week to start feeding, and when you do start with like a 1/4 to 1/3 the recommended strength when you do some nute brands a pretty strong. And with the size of your pots in consideration I would say start feeding around the 3rd week. Soils do have some nutrients in them and can vary how long they will last. so if you can look to see what and how much is in your soild. You are doing great plants look really healthy. Happy Growing! Hope this helps you an if you have any other ?'s don't be afraid to ask me or any of these other fine Growers😎

The plants look great, nice healthy green leaves, good size. So like others mentioned it usually takes a couple weeks if you're using quality soil...if not then the need would probably be sooner. However if you plan to transplant them anytime soon you may not need to feed them anything yet as they would get another new dose of fresh soil. If you're keeping them there for awhile then id say you can rely on the plants to tell you they're needing things otherwise bring in the micro and grow nutrients at a nice low dose like you mentioned. Good luck with the grow, you're off to a great start ✌️

Good question GrandMan, really depends on the soil you bought and how enriched it is. So for example the soil i'm using the label says it's enriched for 8 weeks of feed, but commonly you'll find soils from anything from 3 weeks to 8 weeks. In your case though the size of the pot also really matters, smaller pots will lose their nutrients faster when you water and as the plants eat up all the juice. I'm pretty sure you can start feeding in week three with no fear , just dont go overboard, and make sure the plants dont get root bound for lack of space. Hope this helps ! 🚀

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys
