How to feed?? Help!

I was just wondering if there is a difference between feeding and nutes.. if not then i only have one other question, when i go from giving nutes to the soil to giving nutes to the leafs by spray bottle do i spray the buds when they start growng? Im preparing for my first grow and am very new to this, so if this is not the best/good method then let me know, i really dont want to mess up my first grow to lack of knowledge.

Nutes = nutrients = feeding

Just dilute the stuff in the water you use...

so it is ok to spray the bus with nutes as long as i dilude the nutes in the spray bottle? and when should i start feeding the leaves? how long after seeding

i would not spray the leaves or buds with nutes. just the soil.

as far as how long after it seeds, that depends on the soil. some are good for the first 30 days, some longer. it is a good idea to start off the nutes at 1/4 dosage and work your way up to full dosage.

You usually dont want to spray them after the leaves get prominent enough veins, because they can hold the water and can cause bacteria or fungal growth. soaking the soil with some diluted nutes and 1 tablespoon of molasses per gallon should be plenty

i sprayed mine until they were about 2-3 weeks... just watch if they start to get droopy b/c this usually means nutrient lock if you foliar feed

yea i knew that but i go to different sites for info and a few of them say to feed the leaves after the roots become useless at absorbing nutes.
