i transplant my plants should i use nutrient?
i bought soil perlite compost and manure mix them all together, now when should i use nutrient? should i use nutrient every 2 days or 1 week? please some advice
 
he means that the soil, compost and manure are a strong source of nutrients for the plant. just water with straight water. dont add nutes or you would more than likely burn the piss out of them.
 
Hopefully your soil mix is not too strong for your babbies. Over feeding and over watering are the enemy! No nutes for a while!
 
I am sure ther are several mixes in regards to soil mix.

This is what works for me.

35% mulch soil redwood
35% planting mix no ferts.
15% perlite
15% sand

Then I can add nutrients.
What you described sounded too hot to me.
 
oups hope they will not die...ohffffffff....
what can i do ? you think they will be ok if i only water them?
 
Congrats, you have plants.

Ya know, different strains react differently then others.
I just meant you have a lot of nutrients in your soil. A lot of people just love there plants too much and add too many nutrients. If I were growing them I would just use water until I saw the new growth yellow.

On the other hand if you want to use nutrients throughout the grow then start with a medium that has little or no nutrients like hydro. or a perlite vermiculite mix. But thats is not as easy as soil.

Your plants are small enough and healthy enough to repot them if you want. The advantage would be you could use your nutrients like every other watering. The disadvantage is you would need to keep track of it.

Hell, they look fine to me, you know the old saying; If it aint broke dont fix it.
 
When you transplant you want to soak the plant in full stength nutes over night to make sure they get fed enough. Do this even before you put them in new soil. I usually use a clean plastic tub and just pour the nutes in and submerge the plant overnight.
