I am a first time grower. I started my plants a few weeks ago, but fertilized too early and only one survived. I started a new batch a few days ago, they are 3-4 inches tall and are getting their first 2 leaves. The older plant is about the same height and has 8 leaves. I am using a "grow light" i purchased at walmart and a medium mix of 50% potting soil, 50% perlite. I have 12 plants growing in 16oz plastic cups. As of right now i have an organic blood meal 12% nitrogen fertilizer and liquid miracle grow fertilizer you add to the water. I have not used either yet. I have a small fan on them 24/7.

My questions are:

Are my fertilizers sufficient and in what combo should i use them and when should i start fertilizing?

How big should they be when I transplant them?

Is there any way to sex them early?

How long until they reach the flowering cycle?

Anything else i need to change/am doing wrong?


Thanks!:weed:

I wouldnt fertilize untill they are mature.
Dont use Miracle Grow it'll give it Nute burn its too strong.

I heard before you transplant, the plant should be as big as the container they're in.

Ive heard of people flowering (sexing) from seed. Your yeild just wont be as much as it would be if you waited like 5,6 weeks.

I think you're doing fine.

Hope I helped!

Yeah bro dont use the MG just yet. wait til the plant gets a little older and starts to require more nutrients. Ive heard anything from 1 1/2 to 2 months before use for the best results.
