I always start feeding at low dosage around week 4 or 3 defiency on size of plant. If you're using a heavily fertilised soil, leave until week 4 to 6. Regarding your humidity issues, I have the same problem and it can mean life or death... Cover the young plant with some kind of plastic dome with air hole/s in and keep spraying inside with water this helps keep humidity high and watering less. 🌱👍

Hi I3LULEYDEVIL Hope your whole grow goes with out a hassle. I personally start root stimulants form week 1 to week 4. We need a big and healthy root system to have a vital and healthy plant. From Week I 3 introduce very low level off Grow nutritions 1/4 strength. From recommended suppliers max doses. This will help the plants get used to been feed. Week 5/6 Up the dose slightly. To half recommend dose By suppliers. And keep feeding next few weeks with half strength Nutritions recommended by manufacturer until the plant tells you she needs more nutes. When first pistils appear on in Pre-flower normally between depending on seeds. Auto or Photo I start adding Bloom Nutritions, start slowly with 1/4 recommended doses. And up the dose slightly every feed. It will be beneficial for the plant if you add a little 0.5ml to 1ml per litre CalMag solution From week 3/4 onwards every feed to prevent cal and mag deficiency. Hope this helps and good luck 😉.

Hello brother grower :) To be very simple, Wait till the 4th node appears ( 4th floor of leafs*) and your plant will be tough enough to receive nutrients. Good grow see ya

Ah, Fox Farm OC. Talked to someone else about this today, actually. Ocean Forest is highly amended, especially w/ Nitrogen and why they advertise that it can take your plant through the entire 'early veg' stage without adding nutrients. When I used OC I followed what others have recommended on this thread about waiting for 3-4 true fan leave sets (usually after seeding stage, 2-3 weeks into Veg). What I will add is that OC is tough to gauge when it comes to adding Nitrogen and can burn quite easily. I highly suggest starting a little lower with your nitrogen supplementation, then your manufacturers nutrient schedule suggests (to start), while maintaining the recommended doses of P/K and Cal/mag. If your girl doesn't react negatively to the initial feeds, slowly bump up Nitrogen from here on out. OC is a hard medium to gauge and when to start full dose nutrients can be a hard decision to make. The old saying, "start low, go slow" comes to mind. Simply test over time what she wants/needs and when she/wants needs it (NPK and micro nutrients). Personal example with my first grow: Started feeding full dose early veg nutrients in week 3, as recommended, while using Ocean Forest. These doses were low, the plant had adequate foliar surface area, root system and node points. They burned....lol. OC Nitrogen and my nutrients compounded and caused an immediate and obvious nute burn on the girls. For the next 2 or 3 feeds I cut my main Nitrogen supplementation by half or outed it completely, while maintaining the rest of the recommended feed schedule. By week 4-5 I noticed a slight Nitrogen deficiency which told me the plant had taken the available Nitrogen from the soil and I now needed to add it in with my feeds. Unfortunately but realistically this will be a personal trial and error period to see how OC works for you and how your feeds will react to the amended soil. Hope I didn't go on too long and I hope this helped, without making anything more confusing. Cheers and happy grows my friend! You're on your way👍

Watch the plants, after 4 true sets of leaves, start with a light dose maybe 25%. Keep like this until plant goes full veg, then slowly bring the nutes up. Keep an eye on your pH though.. when I take clones, they get straight water at a pH of 6-7 until they begin to yellow a bit, by then there's 3 inch long roots, then I start with the nutes, seedlings usually begin life with enough stored nutes for 3-4 weeks, by the end of week 4 they're usually pretty hungry and ready to take in some nutes..with a decent root system they just grew scouting for nutes

Fox Farm Ocean Forest has nutrients in it already. Most growers who use it say that you shouldn't need to add any nutrients for at least the first month. When I used that soil I started feeding at around week 3 of veg but at only 1/4 the recommended dosage.

Start adding nutrients when your seedling have about 10/15 cm high and has 2-4 leaves. (Normally in 2nd or 3rd weed). Good grows 👌

Hi bro 👋🏿 I usually start adding fertilizer after 3 weeks of growth when the plant goes into the active growth phase. That is, when the plant begins to start lateral branches, you can begin to add fertilizer. It is advisable that you have a table by which you will calculate the portion of fertilizers. Good luck!
