DWCHCanswered grow question 5 years ago This young feed every other water, at least until 3-4 sets of true leaves form.. then feed more.. when the plants are young, the roots can burn easy, and if there is lots of food, they don't grow as much, when there is less the go looking for nutes by stretching newroots. Then when you feed again, there is a bunch of new root as well as older root to take it up... Letting the soil dry a bit as well can have the same effect... Cheers!
