you shouldn't be feeding at all at this stage; the cotyledon leaves provide the seedling all the nutrients they need at this stage. she should be transplanted into some dirt (what is that you've got it in?) ASAP.

It's in coco. The cotyledon are pretty much used up, in coco I thought you are supposed to start using nutes pretty early

Yeah you can use nutes but 1/4 is probably about right, if you want to add more go to 1/2 strength but don't put them on full strength nutes while they're that small thats just more than they can handle you have to build it up over some time. Whats your ppm? Also did you just plant them straight into coco or are they in some kinda little cubes like root riot or whatever? Planting them straight into coco might not have been the best idea man not going to lie

Well I don't have a ppm meter but full strength nute says it should be around 350-420 I'm at 1/4 strength so it couldn't be too high. Why not straight into coco? The roots hold that shit together pretty well, there going into 3" net pots after the roots start poppin and then sittin that in 10" net pots with hydroton for dwc

Just my opinion man I had a couple of bag seeds that I germ'd to test out different things with seedlings and yeah the coco ones died pretty quickly while the others (in root riot) kept going, although granted i was less than vigilant with them its still easier to just chuck the seeds in something you know has nutes and then just water. If you're going to put them in net pots for dwc though I can see why you wouldn't want to try getting the roots out of a cube of anything but like undercovergrower said soil seems like the way forward. I over fed the crap out of some of my seedlings and they stopped growing for like a week and a bit

sorry--didn't recognize it; i run in soil. i'm actually wanting to run DWC, but am super glad i chose soil first. it takes a lot of learning experience to learn what the plants are saying to you (if like me you start out with a very light green thumb). i see some amazing runs in coco and DWC, etc., but those growers have growing down to a science. just starting out, soil can be most forgiving and allows you a harvest instead of a failure those first few grows. i've been growing over a year now and am still very much learning how to properly grow cannabis. good luck with your grow!

I don't feed my plants for the first 10 days. Then start at 1/8 then 1/4 and so on

So do you think I could just flush the hell out of the coco and just continue with ph water
