When should I use nutes on a 4 week old plant that was just transplanted with a 15% perlite and a mix of happy frog and ocean forest

Just looking to see what nutes to get and when to use them on my 2 4 week old Skywalker OG plants. My first time growing so just trying to figure out some stuff.

I hardly use nutrients in veg unless I know its a strain that absolutely needs it. For the most part in veg they don't need anything but Clean air, water and light. If your going for maximum production then any three part, grow, micro and bloom will work although bloom nutes again not needed until pre flower and flowering. Although you'll probably get many opinions.

If your looking for a good simple nutrient there is several that work really good in soil.
1.complete crop
2.general hydro maxi series and you can use just bloom the whole way
3.General hydro fora nova bloom also can be used from start to finish.

there is tons of other ones that can be used but those 3 would be my top picks for simplicity

as mentioned above you probably won’t need much in veg pending how big your pot is and how long your going to veg for.
I personally like the complete crop from element nutrients. It has a bunch of good stuff in it

also you don’t need any of the boosters or additives just a good complete nutrient.

I have no experience of Fox Farm products, but have been led to believe they are fairly rich. I'd let the plants tell me when they need it.

For veg I would use a generic bottled fertiliser and start using it at 50%.

I use foxfarm and start out low a week or two before flip to flower. In Veg I rarely need to feed in FoxFarm Ocean Forest. I just watch the plants for signs they are hungry.

Okay thx for the advice everyone. Im thinking I have autoflowers now. I got 5 seeds out of the plant my buddy gave me. The plant he gave me was just one tall plant with bud. No branches or anything.

There looking fine. color wise. Watch for bugs, and over/under watering and they should be great, great strain. Ive grown it non auto ofc, hopefully you get a good pheno.

Do you think it's an autoflower? It seems to be but not sure. I feel like having to water every other day is a bit much but I did add perlite when I probably didn't need to to the mix. There is also about 10/15% compost in the mix too is why I added the perlite.

Seeds from autos only have a tiny chance of being decent autos due to variations in genetic makeup.GL
