Hello everyone, this is my first grow and so far the plant has been out of the ground for 12 days (including today) and before that she took 4 days to germinate (so 16 days old). Is she in veg yet and should i start giving her some nutes ? Here’s a pic of the girl, thanks in advance for the replies !

She’s looking great! Doesn’t look hungry. What kind of soil you have her in?

@Eagles009 my soil is not made specially for cannabis but pH is at 6.5 and it seemed good for the job, its made for citrus plants, olive trees, palm trees and such. It has coco fibers in it, sand, compost, horse manure, pozzolana (little rocks) and sphagnum fibres in it and i think a little clay at varying concentrations.

Certainly seems suitable. Can’t see your cotelydons in the photo, they are still green?
@Eagles009 Yep, here they are. They look so small now compared to the other leafs ! 16117371417398329575864755920441|375x500
Also when will i know that they want nutrients ? Id hate to leave my girl hungry for longer than she needs

Haha we getting there 
. Your cotes still being green tells you she’s feeding from what is in the soil and still has her reserves in those little green leaves. When they start to yellow she’s telling you she wants food added. Alternatively, if you are watering to runoff before they yellow and have a tds meter. You can start to feed when you get down around 800ppm out.
I do not have a tds reader, i use strips to get pH as im not too focused on controlling every aspect of her environment, Im focusing on the basics really. Also ive been watering once a day about 600ml for the past 2 days and 250ml before that so its not quite to runoff yet. Ofc i let the soil dry completely but usually in 24h its dry with it still very slightly damp (just browner but not wet to the touch) 2-3cm down

I don’t use my darn tds meter anyway. I also use drops. Watching the cotes works for me. If you feed when they are still green and you don’t know what’s in the soil you risk burn. I’d just watch and enjoy til they start to yellow then think 1/4 or 1/2 dose of nutes to start.
Ok ! Btw im gonna use bio grow nutes and their schedule looks all janky! (Only 2 weeks veg?!) And the doses seem very small (1ml per litre). What do you reccomend i do (btw i only have grow bloom and max)?

Can’t say I know anything about those nutes. Dyna gro has a goofy small veg schedule like that. On theirs it says just keep applying that last week of veg that they show until you flip.
Looks like you don’t have most of the products they want you to use.
After my experience with dyna gro and hitting 4ph and coming all the way back up and dealing with toxicity if your 1ml heavy I’d recommend getting a $27 jacks 321 kit from eBay that will last you a year and save you some headaches.
I’m sure others here know your nutes and will guide better.
If you stick with those I’d say follow the schedule but not 100% on your first dose.
Ok I’ll do half since its tough measuring a such small sizes (unless you have a tip for measuring .3 ml). Also I bought the kit of those three products form them and it seemed as though they were all i need, i think the other products are supplements.

Your could be right. I’d make a post about my specific nutrients if you don’t get any action here. I’d bet somebody around here knows what’s up.
I have a bunch of small syringes. .3 ml would be no problem to measure out. I bought a five dollar kit on Amazon. Has all sorts of useful sizes for nutrients.
Great idea ! Ill order pne as well !

What soil are you in? Have a brand name or picture. I use non-cannabis tailored soil as well. It’s super cheap and works great. I kinda feel like expensive dirt is a racket.
I completely agree, i think finding good soil with the necessary pH and contenants is easy and most local gardening stores have good soil. Here is mine ! If you want to translate things from it its in french, or just ask
