Ok, I really thought I could find this answer myself. But I couldnt find a definite one, so Im going to have to ask. When should I start feeding them nutes? They sprouted about 3 weeks ago. Check my grow for the latest pics... Are they ready?

Assuming you have them in some type of soil with nutes in it people generally say to start adding nutes at 3 weeks. Start off slow with them...1/4 strength is probably best and if they respond well slowly up the concentration.

I'm a newb but have been learning that using my soil and my seeds I need to start watering with 1/2 strength nutes about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks after sprouting. Then in a week it's full strength. But I am using fairly mild organics.

I used Baby Bio at full to full+half strength and they loved it at 5 weeks onward (OK - I waited a bit long, and baby bio is houseplant food really - but at an NPK of 10.6 4.4 1.7 it works fine if you give between 5-15 drops per litre! - I actually started off with 6 drops per 250ml and the plants thrived!)

Im using Canna vega for veg and canna flores for flowering. Its been about 3 or 4 weeks since they sproutrd. Shoud I give them 1/2 or 1/4 strength next feed?

I'd guess keep it quarter next feed then up the dosage the time after and see what happens...if they burn they can be revived, but I like to be cautious - how many times u fed them?
