These look ready for some nutes?

Think these are ready for me to start feeding nutes?
Have only given water until this point, FFHF/FFOF, switched to 12/12 6 days ago.
They look ready to me, but would rather have that confirmed.
I have FF trio nutes, would it be better to just start with the tiger bloom or should I use the grow big until I actually see flowers developing?

Flipped 6 days ago-I’ve got a 6’ high tent, but these are already standing with their base about 3’...has me thinking of what to do should they stretch crazy

I would say you could top them but you already have a lot of tops which is a good thing, but i don't see a scrog net or any way to support a bunch of branches. If you were to get a scrog net for the tent, you could top the plants to reduce overall height before flipping them. Unless you've grown the plant before, I'd always assume it is going to double in height once flipped always, to be on the safe side.

Looking good. But I'm not a fan of the liquid FF chemicals. I'd rather use some organic top dressing. Fox Farms has that stuff too, but there's plenty of easy options. Then it's easier to reuse the soil. I started in FFOF 3 1/2 years ago and am still using the same shit, but with extra stuff added.

I wouldnt give bloom nutes until week 3-4 of flower. Week 1-3 is basically veg nutes for the stretch. What else are you using? Cal Mag? Microbes? Bennies?

Haven’t used anything on them-just water and their soil. Last grow I had picked up a trio of FF dry nutes-beastie bloomz etc, but was trying to just keep it simple this time and just go with the liquid trio I have at home

I have a trellis net in there, not sure if a scrog net is different-I’ve tried my best to keep what I can tucked under the netting, but they’re fighting their way to the outside of the net. I also picked up a bunch of yo-yo’s so hoping with the hodge podge I have I’ll be alright

Looking good. Personally I'd just add a top dressing of FFOF or FFHF and water it in. But, that's how I roll. Good luck and don't chop too early! Have fun.

I filled my pots too much when I transplanted-in order to do a top dress Id have to remove a lot of the soil from the pots. I won’t be making that mistake again

Those are really nice plants for just water. I've never tried that.... but I might now. I use FFOF with Mega Crop with added "N" & "Si". But I start feeding 1 week after they're above ground. But after seeing your plants with just water it's got me thinking things over. Keep up the nice work.
You can always Super Crop if your plants get too tall. I had 1 grow where my plants kept growing into the lights so I had to use a SCROG Net at the top of the tent to keep the branches off the lights. That's when I learned about LST. Now I keep my plants 3' - 4' tall but much wider.

When you reuse the soil, do you weed out all the roots or do you leave them in? I.e. do you just cut the old plants and go again, or do you sift out the soil, and then re-amend and re-pot?

ffof is perfect for 4 weeks. Then you can add nuts. You are in flower so sure bloom but unless experience do 1/4 recommended see how plant looks. DO NOT top them anymore in flower.

IF you run out of room and plants get too close to light. Whatever distance recommended from light do this.....Day after water so plants full of water pliable. Pinch branch and fold sideways to light. So entire branch 6-9 inches or so are getting light to the branch. tie up with string if falling. Sometimes they stay without help. Done it forever rarely cut a branch. You get one hell of a full perfect window of tops. good luck

I just chop close to the base of the main stem and let the microbes break down the roots for more food for the next round. I also try not to disturb the fungal hyphae network the best I can. I'm doing halfass no-till with not cover crop. Just a mulch layer.

Ha ha ha. Been doing this forever. I pull the entire plant out and shake the plant to remove most all dirt. Then look at the fullness of the root system reviewing my past to the nuts I am using. I reuse soil at least a couple times adding perlite and lime. Guess we all win...lol
