When to start feeding?

[stingite]

Got three white widow seeds that are germintating in Grodan Starter mini blocks, which will then be transplanted into nute-free soil mix. When shall I start intoducing fertilizer to these plants, I heard wait two weeks before any nutes are given...should I wait that long, or should I start when germinating...

I'd say like a week after since ur soil has no nutes in it, but in a 1/4 of the strength dosage. then work ur way up 1/4 more each week or so. I put some nutes in my new plants after they germinated, but it was like barely nothing, like 1/16 the recommended amount.

Start with the nutes as soon as you see those tiny first true leaves.

You shouldn't use any nutes for 3-4 weeks. The soil if new should be able to hold it that long as well as the cotyledons which feed the plant for a couple of weeks. You shouldn't feed it as soon as you see the first set of leaves. You'll most likly kill it or burn the hell out of it.

Dude... can you read? He's starting them in rockwool then transplanting to a nute-free soil(less) mix. Cotyldons do not feed a plant for a couple of weeks. Way to save the day hero.

It's all good bro. We're here to help. Just make sure you start them off with light feedings and you'll have no worries. What kind of nutes will you be using?

I have two different kinds I will be using...Rainbow Mix Grow(5-5-2) and Rainbow Mix Bloom(1-9-2)...this will be my second grow, first yielded 100% males ...will I be able to use used soil? Closet setup wrapped with mylar using 400W HPS...

You can reuse soil. If you wanna play it extra safe you could microwave it first.
