Hey Mr. Grow it and community! I'm a brand spanking new at this and I'd like to share my journey so far. If anyone has any tips for me, I'd be very grateful. I'm hoping to take this run to completion but I'm worried about the flowering stage and adding nutrients.
Veg - day 17
I'm on day 17 since sprout. I've only added tap water so far. The two on the top are Blueberry and the two on the bottom are Purple Kush. Both are autoflower fem. They seem a little bit on the "light green" side but seem healthy so far.
Medium: I'm using this organic potting mix. I read after I started this to "never use miracle grow". But it was too late and I'm trying to still bring these girls to completion anyway.
My setup is Mars Hydro 5x5x6.5 / Spider Farmer SF4000 / 5 gal tall pots.
So far they look good. But I'm not sure when, or even if I should add Nutrence to the soil. What I've heard is to wail until 30 - 40 days before feeding anything in organic soil. Would that apply to this organic potting mix?
I'm going with Dyna-gro Foilage pro,Dyna-gro Bloom and Botanicare CalMag.
Any advice would be awesome!
Thanks so much, and happy growing!

Nice setup! Looks like the plants want a feeding now. Most growers start with a half dose according to the feeding chart. Check the pH and PPM of the runoff to ensure the pH is in the proper range and to get an idea of how much nutrients are in the soil. Looks like you have all the nutrients needed to make your plants happy again 🙂
Thank you for the quick response! One quick thing... Since I just watered yesterday and the first inch is still wet... should I wait until it's a bit drier to feed with nutrients?
@ryu It's a gamble either way really. If you water now you risk the plant getting overwatering symptoms. If you wait until it dries out then then plant may become more yellow.
