I started my nutes (and Cal-mag) at about 10 days old but only used about 20% strength

at 14 days old they got about 40%, then at 18 days they got 80%, then 100% on day 21 (I keep a log of my plants as I can't remember shit)

Starting at 10 days old was risky, as one can overload them quite easy.....many people start at 25% at about 14 days old

When did yous start feeding in veg?
All depends on your growing medium. I don't feed nutes early at all and I grow in soil. I start in seed starting mix burbee organics soil/coco in a solo cup 1-16 days

Uppot to 1 gal FF ocean forest w/ 25% perlite and a tsb of Epsom salt til minimum of 42 days old

Uppot to 3 gal of same mix for flower and start my PK nutes in flower about week 3

I typically will only feed nutes every second watering/feeding when growing in soil....but I most often grow in perlite (hempy style) thus they need nutes every feeding.

If you have good soil there is no rush to start the nutes

Sometimes i just do plain water till 3/4 weeks old and sometimes i use the plant start. This is the first time ive seen any sort of burn this early on i just thought maybe this strain is a bit more sensitive to the nutes. I water seedlings with a little measuring cup until they are transplanted and give them 100ml at a time.

I use coco mate so theres nothing in the medium starting out

. I repot into my rols when they have their 2nd set of true leaves. This will usually hold them for a month of veg.at which time I repot again. During all this time I foliar feed with epsom, fish emulision, and seaweed extract.
Thats normally when i would pot up aswell

I give my seedlings R/O water mixed with recharge for the first week of its seedling stage.(I grow in a soiless media. Calcinined clay and perlite) 2nd week is tap water/ro mix. At day 14 they start getting 300 ppms of jacks and calcinit. By day 16-21 they are at full strength jacks+ calcinit.

It doesn't look like there's much damage done, they should recover nicely. If that's the worst that happens, you're in business!! :grin:

I've had grows go wrong from start to finish but I still managed to get smokable bud so all good! They're tough ladies, can take a serious pounding! :lol:

I remember my very first grow, I had a few m&f white widow seeds, no lights, and a shitty damp attic with a small skylight window as my grow space. I had no concept of veg & flower periods, threw the seeds in with miracle grow and some kind of slow release tablet nute thing and just thought "right, lets see what happens." I did fuck all with them except water on occasion so unsurprisingly, the results were shockingly bad. :lol: But! 1 plant made it to the finish line and I'm telling you man, it was the nicest smoke I every had, up until that point at least. I literally got 1 joint out of it, stem n all, but she was delicious.

TRANSPLANT DAY
Have now transplanted them into their final 16litre smart pots. Coco that they went into was amended with some calmag and silica. :cool:

This is the girl i will probably use to clone. Shes got some nice tight node spacing and seems to be more of an indica leaning pheno and thats what i prefer. Havent decided whether to use her as a mother or take cuttings off her for a mother.
