When can I start nutes?

Hongo Bill · #1 (**permalink**) 11-02-2009, 03:57 AM

How old should a plant be before I start it on the grow nutes?

& is it a good idea to to start the nutes strait after transplanting into a bigger pot, or should I wait a week or so until it's settled in?

Cheers!

It's generally considered safe to start on 1/2 strength nutes around 2 weeks after germination.

As far as after transplanting goes, you'll probably get mixed answers. I would tell you to wait a week or so for your plant to get settled in it's new pot before feeding it. It's not going to starve in a week. Best not to add stress on top of stress by feeding it too soon.
