hey i got a couple plants about a week under the light and theyre looking really nice and green.. I have Schultz 10-15-10 liquid plant food.

I am reading a bunch of different things from what different people, am I supposed to start giving it quarter strength nutes at the beginning of 3 weeks or at the end of 3 weeks?

and also this might sound stupid, but the direction says 7 drops (.53ml) per litre of water..So im guessing quarter strength I would do maybe 2 drops for a litre of water?

Also how long before I give it full strength

fresh soil will last them about 3-4 weeks. Your 10-15-10 is more of a "flowering" nute with the middle number being higher. I'd find one with the nitrogen number (first number higher) that's to promote green growth, and start with 1/4 strength nutes like you said...approximately every third watering. Just keep an eye on her. She'll tell you what she needs. I'd go to full strength at about the 4th or 5th node in height.

Peace,

I usually feed somewhere between 3-5 weeks....depending on how the plant looks and the way it's growing. If I notice growth has slowed i'll mix up a batch of nutes...I usually feed once in veg since I make my own dirt mix.

sorry for the late reply , lost my login info =(

Thanks for the help guys, end of 3 weeks and im going to pick up a new bottle of plant food ill read more on the grow faq thanks

oh one more thing,

How often would you water it? and how much water do you give it? I haven't been watering mine at all because the soil I have was really wet and moist still but it's probably starting to dry out now..So how often would you water? once per day? I'm right now just trying to keep the stem green but if I underwater the plant how will I know?

check out my plant so far..It was put under lights on the 29th of august.
It's at it's 3rd node, 2nd plant was under lights 2nd of september

3rd is the little setup. lol..How they looking?
