ok so ive been growing my plant for about 12 days or so somewhere around there and ive been using the 6 month quick release soil i see no problem with it ? im poor and its the only place that sells the soil and well im not great on nut feeding but when it comes down to it, since its quick release does this mean i dont have to feed it any nut? and if i do feed it when and how much?thanks​

Check your run off water. I use MG soil. After 3 to 4 weeks I use nutes with no problem. But your set-up may be different.

i would just use straight water for a month or better. you want to use what's there before you start adding more.

ok so wait ? im confused should i use nutes on it or not?
Your soil has slow release nutrients in it, do not feed additional amounts of nutrients until your plants begin to show signs of needing nutrients. If you use additional nutrients before what is in your soil is depleted, or nearly depleted, you will 'overfeed' your plants and that will cause any number of various problems from a constricted vascular system causing slow growth and drying out to burning them to dust like you tossed them into a Nazi death camp oven.

The problem with slow release nutrients is you really never know what is in your soil in what amounts and what the plants have to rely on that they need at any given time. If a deficiency is seen it is more difficult to deal with it because you then have to use specific individual elements rather than a complete fertilizer to give the plants what they lack.

In the future, if possible, do not use soil with slow release nutrients in it. Use a good soil mixture, the best you can afford, or make your own starting out with plain potting soil and then amending it, and purchase the best fertilizer you can afford and that way you will better be able to regulate what your plants have to rely on for nutrition.
