It's really preference. A lot of growers wait for around 3 weeks or more until they start giving plants nutes. But some people like to start earlier and give a weak amount of nutes early. IMO it's better to wait a little longer because the soil should have enough nutes to keep the plant very healthy for the first three weeks. However, if you want do it, make sure you start with at most 1/4 strength.

Hey Heavenly..

Keeping a journal for yor first few grows with this medium is going to realy help you a lot..

Keep track of amount and dat you FEED...

I would not feed until the plants look like they need some nutrients or the 3rd week... which every comes first... and I would use a VERY diluted mixture!

im using a 250watt mh bulb with a diamond reflector!i wana replace the bulb with a 400watt mh (my grow light takes both)but i dont have proper ventilation so it might get a bit to hot in my grow wardrobe!i know plants can grow ok in high heat conditions,100df and just over but obviously you want the temperature to be in the 70's really,im happy with the humidity in there,between 40-50 abit more after i water but fairly low humidity stops mould!i,ll get a extactor fan when i get some more paper!for now i,ll just havto make do with what ive got!
