yes give them 24 hours til you flower.you will know when you need nutes they will show signs like drooping or slow growing.over feeding is the #2 reason people come here for help.overwatering is the first.so take your time with nutes because you dont wanna burn ur girls up! :) good luck

Thanks for the reply.I have another question please.I have 8 seedlings in total that are now almost 2 weeks old.2 of them are about 3 inches tall and have 6-8 leaves on them,but the other 6,are 1 inch tall with only one set of true leaves(besides the 2 little round ones that popped out first)They are a nice green color,but havent seemed to grow at all for a week or so.Is this normal?As i said earlier,this is my first time from seed,and just want to make sure everything is going ok.Thanks for your help!

I just answered you on your other thread.but anyways your plants are just slow growing it happens as plants from unknown seeds are unpredictable.give them time they are probably building a strong root system and thats why they are delayed they could of beeen planted too deep or just the breed theres a bunch of problems it could be.just give them time and if nothing happens in a week or 2 then pull them.

Most trusted gardeners form not just pot but various veggies go by 18/6

And i would assume plants dark time is when they can use the built up energy to fix areas on a micro level and grow new roots in preperation of the next lights on
