You work your way up to full strength in increments of 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 strength applications each week. It depends on the line-up & what strain you are dealing with. Some strains are heavy feeders & can handle a full on administration of nutrients whereas other strains are only able to handle 1/4 to 1/4 strength max during feedings all of the way through flowering.How tall do your plants get before you switch them to full on full strength veg nutes? Mine are about 6 in (+/- 2in) and I have them up to 900 ppm as of today. Their in soil. The soil is at 7 ph and the runoff is at 6.1 ph.
Yeah, that's what Ive been doing for the most part, but Ive just gotten a little scared when I upped the nutes yesterday cause like you said, growth had slowed down a little and I wanted to stick to a more professional type feeding program. I've never really gone crazy with the nutes before. I'm growing in soil so I don't think a day is long enough to see the plants response, but right now, they look good. Btw, sorry about the lack of pics. I lost the only camera I had for posts.You work your way up to full strength in increments of 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2 strength applications each week.

If your plants begin to slow down in growth & seem stunted then that's a sign to bump up the feeding. If you see the leaves are yellowing around the edges then you have overfed them. Over time you will learn to do what is called "read your plants".
