when to use nutes..

[burninheavy420]

Alright my plant is about a week old and I was wondering when I should start using these fox farm nutes I have. I read I should wait 3 weeks. I wanna induce my plant into flowering at about a month old so does that mean I should use grow big for only 1 week? Or can I also use grow big along with big bloom when i induce flowering? I know I should only use 1/4 strength to start with..

Your question can't be answered unless you say what media they are growing in, since various media have different levels of initial nutrient. If you are in plan soiless mix like Pro-Mix, then you need to start after about a week. On the other hand, some of the mixes like Fox Farm need almost nothing added for quite a while.

Also, which specific FF nutes are you referring to? Less is usually better than more in most cases. I see so many pix people post on here showing cell collapse due to nutrient lockout. They wonder what the problem is. Someone suggests some sort of deficiency and they add more stuff.. and perpetuate the problem. More plants are killed through overferting and overwatering than the other way around.

i typically go 2 to 3 weeks without fertilizing seedlings. as stated, it depends on what your medium has in it.

practice, practice, practice!

Use your vegetative nutrient after you flip them to 12/12 until you see signs of flowering.
Typically cannabis plants continue to grow vegetatively for 40% of their flowering time.
So, if your strain finishes in 60 days, you can expect vegetative growth to continue for (.4 x 60 = 24) 24 days. You need to provide sufficient nitrogen during that period to support that growth. Different strains vary somewhat, but this is a good rule of thumb to follow. As for when to flip them to 12/12, consider that plants typically double in size while in flowering, so flip them when they are about half the size you want them to be when they finish.

alright thanks for the input im sure I will have more questions..About how much is the average yield for a plant that was in veg stage for 1 month?

Output is related to input. The input consists of light, water, and nutrients. More light + the right balance of nutrient and water will increase output to a point. Depending on variables, it could be between a few grams to 1-2 oz.. There is a thread on here where someone is getting almost a lb from a single plant under a 400w hps in 11 weeks total (of veg + bloom,) using lst or scrog, . Read and learn, keep it simple, don't get greedy and you might get an amazing result.
