The two plants pictured next to each other are 2 and 3 weeks old and the plant in the larger pot is only a week old. I know that you are supposed to add nutrients around the 3rd or 4th week and also depending on the number of true leaves the plant has. My question is which brand of nutrient solution should I get? I’ve been reading around and I’ve been seeing different ratio numbers for a nutrient mix and it’s very confusing. Could y’all recommend the best brand nutrient solution for the the veg stage, the bloom stage, and whatever other nutrients I will need? I would greatly appreciate if. I’m not sure if this is important but the plants are in fox farm happy frog soil right now.

I wouldn’t be in any hurry to add nutrients yet. Those plants are tiny still, and there’s a lot of nutrients in the soil still, but when the time comes, if you want something simple you can get maxiBloom and use from start to finish. It’s a dry nutrient you mix with warm water. A bag last a long time.

All you need is something that contains what a plant needs. You don't need to use a dozen bottles from some designer cannabis nutrient company. Get some Jacks 5-12-26 and calcium nitrate. Maxibloom is a good option as well. You'll be better off keeping things simple instead of following some ridiculous feed chart that requires a bunch of bottles with shiny labels and cool sounding names. The cannabis nutrient industry is a big scam and not needed to grow top shelf cannabis.

There is no specific time to add nutrients, especially if you're in soil. I wouldn't add anything until the plant tells you by turning a lighter green. The nutrient companies want to sell you nutrients. Don't listen to them, listen to your plants. They look good, just water them when they dry out for the time being.

What medium is that?
when I was in soil I used Roots Organics Terp Tea Grow/Bloom. Can be mixed with water or just top feed on the soil.Super easy.
mom in coco now using jacks and jacks is the tits. Healthiest plants I have grown. They are really customer service friendly and can answer any questions

I'm also on team Jack's. I was spending a fortune on nutrients before this forum hipped me to 321. I also used to buy tons of additives, but over time I realized they weren't doing much if anything. On top of that I started using Blumats recently which has allowed me to lower the EC. My overhead is laughable compared to a few years ago.
