Looking for some advice

I started my seeds in 1" rockwood cubes under a humidity tent to germinate. It is the 3rd day and the have germinated. Can someone tell me when I should begin fertilizing and what amounts? I have General Hydroponics FloraGro, FloraMicro and FloraBloom to use.

 

Didn't your kit or chemicals come with directions?
If not, keep watering with a ph balanced water of 4.5 to 5.5
for about a week. You don't want to put chemicals on a seedling
to early.Let it get it's first set of leaves going. My chemicals say
to start with a base solution then move on to half strength for a
week then to full strength for the duration of growing.
Change you lights and go to your bloom chemicals in a minimum
of 6 weeks.

Billbeau is right, check your stuff for directions. All fertilizers are different. A general rule of thumb is to wait three weeks before beginning to fertilize. Introduce it gradually, diluting it at first. Fertilize every few days.

 

personally i use fox farm's products and i havent founs anythign better.....but ne who i usually start giving my plants nutes 7 - 10 days after sprouting........my plants are goin to be 2 weeks on saturday and they are 3 in tall and have their 6th set of "true" leaves......i started to give them nutes last saturday. ( 1 week old ) and they look fine.......what r u using for lights?? what is your setup???? you have to explain more before i can................b_O420

 

r u goin to grow hydroponics???? thats what i take it from your post above..........???

 

.."IMHO"...

..5,0 is pretty low, too low for maximum nute uptake, according to this chart..

For best yeild and potency, they should be grown to "sexual maturity", either alternating nodes or pre-flowers both indicate sexual maturity, before flowering is induced. High nitrogen ferts should be continued for 2 weeks into flower to accomodate the stretch AND maximize final yeild..."IMO"
Seedlings are often nute sensetive, abd usually don't require feeding for 7-14 days from sprouting.

 

I wish I could post a pic here. You said your plant has 6 sets of "true leaves" at two weeks old. Mine has 6 "stems" with 4 to 5 sets of leaves on each one at two weeks
and two days. If I'm doing something wrong, it is in my favor.

He who laughs last, finished the joint.

 

Seedlings don't need any nutrients for the first 12 days.
If you check the back label of the GH containers, it lists recommended doasage for all stages of a plants life.

 

oh yes my friend but now i have the last laugh.......right now my plants are 1 foot to a foot and a half and they are only 34 days old.....iput them into flowering yesterday...
i veg'd them under 125 watts of fluros.....my biggest plant has 18 budsites forming (19 including the main cola) oh yes and all 5 of mine are females.....they are going to flowering under a 250 watt hps......post will be coming soon!

Set the Ph at 6 and use 25% of the recomended nuits in your solution for 10 days or so.

 

I bought some cheap seeds from Camden. I must have had a few hundred. I posted about 10 to a friend and put some in a pot of water, to see which ones sprouted, some straight into soil, some indoors, some outdoors, some in a propagator some in the greenhouse... none grew though some sprouted in the water glass.

Visited my friends in Bournemouth a few days ago... 3 of theirs grew. I am so pissed off!
