First promix grow, fert?

The seedlings were in 12 oz cups. The soil is a mix of FFOF and seedling mix. I just replanted into promix hp. I added 10 percent ffof(because I have some left over) and about 20 percent perlite. They went into 2 gal pots, watered with 10 drops of ST and 1 teaspoon of big bloom, ph 6.0. My question is how long before I have to give them nutes? I'm so use to using ffof and not having to fert them for 2 weeks or so.
Thanks
 
Heres what I do with my promix. I'll feed em, 4 days later I flush with r/o water and cal mag, 4 days after that I feed them again.

flushing new starts? i dont get it. also, cal-mag is nutes. some cal-mag products can even burn them at half strength they contain so much N and other shit. so you arent flushing, and you shouldnt have to flush anything till the end of flower unless you have a problem. leaching the soil will cause moisture stress no doubt. specially on babies.

but anyway,

use casting and kelp tea (these things dont burn starts) or mix some into the promix to make up for that 2 weeks so ya dont have to add extra ferts or change anything.

if no castings are available use some dilute veg nute or even veg fert. mixed with other shit, dependin on what ya got around. clones arent like seedlings tho. u can give a seedling str8 water for a week or three no problem in promix hp, a clone is gonna start askin for food a week from xplant, or sooner.

hope this helps :)

Cool so in the beginning it's kind of like just using FFOF? I'll keep an eye on them and feed when they look like they may need it.
Thx

There is a starter charge in the promix. This is fertilizer sprayed onto the mix. It may last a week if you didn't use alot of water to get the mix wet at the beginning. Then you should begin giving ferts in your water. This should include n,p,and k. Also all 6 micronutrients iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum. Don't forget sulfur. You can get that by dosing the plants with maybe 1/4 teaspoon epsom salts per gallon (3.8 liters) of water occasionally.

Merry Christmas icmag! :wave:
