When to start fertilizing

[PrideofCucamong]

Hello IC MAG. I have a few seedlings growing, skunk 1 and big bud. I am using pro mix seedling starter. I was wondering when it would be a good time to start fertilizing my seedlings (i am using botanicare pure blend pro.) I want to have a final plant heigh of around 2 to 2 1/2 feet (i am going to be using topping and bending.) Would a 3 gallon bucket do the job or should i just go with a 5 gallon?

Thanks for any help!

at what node will you be topping and bending?

I personally hit my seedlings up with a low dose of ferts about a week after they popped through the surface. Kinda hard to help with your pther q's though not knowing what strain you are growing. Some plants might wanna triple in height in flower.

Start feeding at about 10 days to 2 weeks or so. The baby leaves will begin yellowing about then.

3 gallon pots are plenty big for what you want to do IMO.

I am using pro mix seedling starter, i am probably going to switch over to fox farm when i replant them.

I am growing two Skunk 1's, two Thai Haze X Skunk 1, and one feminized Green Spirit (skunk 1 x big bud.)

I am not sure if i should top them and bend or just bend them. If i did top them i would wait until they were atleast 6 to 8 inches

I start feeding bout 2 weeks in veg. I'd go with the 5 gallon bucket..more root mass the better, in my opinon.
