Should I be feeding her anything yet?

Although the store says I wouldn't have to feed any nutrients in the first 30 days because of the soil mix, I've seen other grower's diaries with the same plant but looked more advanced than mine. Should I be feeding her anything or wait til the 30 days up?

If you're running LED lighting, why is it 27" above the plant? Try reducing this to 18". Otherwise, just give her some time to grow, you'll be surprised how fast things can move.

I like to follow this grow guide for feeding autos. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ Note that autos do not like as much feeding as a photoperiod does. Given the soil should be good for the first few months this should be ok for that time, unless you see it acting up.

Hey, Personally i would not give it anything at the moment, i have 2 babies around same age 🤣 and i only give them water. After 2/3 weeks i will slowly introduce nutrients. If you really want to lend a helping hand you can give it some root nutrients ( a little goes a long way when diluteing, seriously ) I see your lights are 70cm pluse, mines are at about 35cm from top leaf. You can check my gorrilla zkittlez auto diary and see the troubles i had in the begining with lights, you can really see difference between the plant without correct light and the 2 with correct lighting from beginning. It's an LED so it can be close but not to close because you do want it to grow in height and not get burned leaves as well. Hope this helps, happy growing. If you have any questions feel free to DM me happy to help 😉

internode length looks good... looks healthy.. vigorousness of growth is a trait that is on a spectrum. also, soil is a bit slower than other methods. small plant, large pot - so, you probably don't want to wate the entire volume at moment. water around plant a safe distance larger than the canopy. make sure it gets wet in that column all the way to the bottom. the moistue will spread a bit, no biggie. keep increasing diameter as you go. i'd wait for cotyledons to show a hint of fade befoe feeding. 30 days isn't exceptionally hot, but your young plant hasn't and won't be utilizing much of the pot for a bit longer. sometimes a small plant in a big plant take a bit longer to get running... maybe, it is the tapoot hitting bottom? a larger pot will increase your vege time on you autoflowers, i think i read that recently.

🙄🙄🙄. No feed needed! Just keep feeding water! I have a feeling the soil may have been a little hot if you feel like growth is a little slower. Just be patient. Your numbers look good

I agree with the others on this, 3 weeks easily. Just ph water with maybe a root stimulator.

High King, NO DO NOT FEED HER THE FIRST 3 WEEKS!!! THIS WILL ONLY CAUSE PROBLEMS DUE OVERFEEDING!!! After 3 weeks you can start adding some nutrients but keep a low dose. If you have a EC meter then start with 1.2 and add every week +EC 0.1 till you reached EC 1.8 (do not give more then EC 1.8). When you do not have a EC meter then start with 20% what they advice on the nutrients bottle and add 5% every week till you reached 50% Nutrients are not the main course for plants. They are like vitamines... light is the main course and water is there to move the nutrients within the plant and cool her leaves down. Happy Growing! 😋

Nope, nope, NOPE!!! Autoflowers really don't LIKE nutes for the first couple of weeks - and if your soil has them mixed in, you REALLY don't want to add any. Don't worry about other diaries... their photos could be zoomed in to make them look bigger - or they could be in smaller pots which make them look bigger... Yours looks absolutely FINE!!! ESPECIALLY for this age! Just be careful not to overwater her (overwatering means being constantly wet)... seedlings this size don't have much of a root structure and can easily drown.. If I were you, I'd re-evaluate in about 2-3 weeks and see if she seems to NEED something... you can always come back here and ask for opinions! Good luck - you're off to a GREAT start!
