5 weeks with fox farms soil, in 3 gal soft pots, plants are healthy, topped them and have been training them heavily, switching to flower in the next week of two, I have a ppm meter on the way (no clue on this), Should I start using nutes at 1/4 strength or wait till the plants tell me they are hungry?

Will the 3 gal pots make it to the end? If I do repot (I really don’t want to) I think the fox farms would carry me deep into flower with no nutes, but also that might not be the best time to start using nutes? this is my first grow, not sure of all the basics. Lol ---

I have 1 wwa in a 7gallon pot. Roots to the top. Plant fills my 20"x36" tent. It’s no taller than 20" either. Do so heavy lst on them and get you a nice flat even canopy. Best way to utilize LEDs
