If you're using FFOF soil, especially without cutting it with other material, you prolly have enough nutes in the soil to last you the entire veg(unless youre doing an 8+ week veg). I think you'd be better off investing in some flowering nutes for later, especially if your plant isn't showing any obvious deficiencies right now. Another option would be to transplant into a larger container of fresh soil if you feel your plant is going to need the extra space down the road.

You didn't say how long youve been vegging or how big the plants have gotten in that time...
The soil feeds for up to 4 weeks before you have to start adding.. DO NOT F*** up a good organic grow with MG... go get a bottle of FLora Nova Bloom and use that...you will also want a P-K booster for later in flower and some molasses or sucanate (Raw unprocessed Cane Syrup Sugar- in the baking aisle) to up their carbs--start now and use 1/2 tsp of either when you water 1x a week...
Flora Nova is easy to use-- start at 1 tsp per gallon until week 3 of 12/12- then increase to 1.25 tsp per gallon until week 5 when you use 1.5 tsp per gallon until you flush.... Add 1/2 tsp P-K booster starting week 4.
If you can't get flora nova- look for good organics where you live-- Fish and Kelp Fertilizers are best-- look for the ones where the P-K is higher than the "N"... and get a good CalMAg suppliment...
Another option is to "top dress" your soil by sprinkling on Organic dry ferts and topping it with 1/2 inch of soil or sand... Espoma Bloom Tone is available EVERYWHERE and inexpensive.. and all you would have to use...

thanks, and sorry for incomplete info----recieved hydroponic clones--bubba kush and ak-47s---probably over 2 months ago now--maybe 2ft tall and very green--but they seem to have kinda stalled--i have also topped. only going a couple more weeks until i turn em back to 12/12. this is my first crop ever so i guess i should feel good about this but............... i thought they would be larger.
i am in yuma az. so i am told heat will be a big problem. i do have some kind of liquid bloom stuff that a friend/snowbird from washington st. got for me. i just wanted a growth spurt--maybe i am just greedy. also went bigger pots in stages twice...each time involved a growth spurt, but was told the pots now will finish them up. so thanks, spud

how do u figure?..............i have never used flora nova anything but its supposed to be organic.....
wish i had a camera so i could show--but i don't. they are all nice and green and healthy. maybe i am just expecting more than i should. will take clones when i go 12/12 so crop 2 might be a little eaiser. will be dealing with very hot weather so air conditioner will be going. getting interesting. cats nibble the fan leaves
