How long to go in fox farm with out feeding after transplanting 5 week old plants

My plants are 5 weeks old how long till I feed after transplanting ?? They went in the final pots at week 4...I know that's kinda small plants for 5 gal pots but I'm only giving them 2 liters of water then upping it every week.. Growing 5 plants in 4x4 tent with LST probably veg 8 weeks but they not very big for 5 weeks the LST is not even reached across the pot yet so I'm going 8 weeks veg unless they explode soon... Using 200w diamond series led and there 350xml temps jump from 77 to 83f due to the ac kicking on and off all the time.. Not sure if the temp swing every 10 m will hurt they seam OK..

If it's happy frog then you can go a while without feeding as long as your plants don't eat all the nutrients and the biology stays in good numbers by not pissing em off with tap water or anything detrimental to the biology in the soil I've been growing without feeds so far to give you my experience

I understand the temptation to feed extra.

I'm in home-made compost soil with FFOF on top.

Most of the time, that is enough.

But I'm still doing a compost tea every morning, with a small amount of wood ash for Potassium, and depends on what's available, for the Phosphorus & Nitrogen.

Went through 3 boxes of 0-7-0 bat guano, then some chicken manure, which is roughly 2-4-3.

This morning I started with Seabird guano, 0-11-0.

I just mix it in when I am bucket watering to get the plants ready for the day's heat.


But the main thing is that your plants need to know that you love them. :woohoo:
