New grower needs nutrient and topping advice

[Ed]

I germinated my 4 seeds in water then the paper method 12 hrs after soaking on 5/6/22… 3 days later they sprouted. Today’s day 13 since the start of germination. I watered only with P.h’ed water and need advice on when to provide the fox farms nutrient trio pack i bought and also when to topp… it looks like it may be ready to topp according to videos ive watched but im not sure and i could just follow the directions on the label but want to hear it from someone hear first… any advice on how to proceed… plants looking healthy and could use better Co² so i

m buying a bag of exhale today. Tent temperature kept at 75⁰-82⁰ and humidity at 65%-75%

Depending on what soil you are using on when to start nutrients. They look good so far.

[Dforce]

As for CO2 if you don’t have them in a sealed room your wasting your money. Just my 2 cents. There are a few variables to run with co2 to make it useful.

Looks like it is time to transplant

Started with fox farms, should i use different soil when i transplant? And what about the fox farms nutrient trio pack? Any advice besides label instructions or should i just go with that?

With @Dforce on the CO2 and the exhale bags won’t provide any benefits. What fox farm medium are you using. Most of their mediums don’t require nutrients for 4-6 weeks

[Dforce]

Soil should be fine, I believe you shouldn’t have to add nutrients for 4 to 6 weeks

[Dforce]

I also believe with fox farm nutrients you start at half strength and go from there. Before you start to feed check your ppm runoff and when it’s down to 1000 ppms then you start to feed.

Good stuff and nutrient feeding usually starts around week 6. Make sure you test the run off PH and PPMs and start feeding when that’s around 800 PPMS

[Ed]

Great advice brozay i never knew you had to test the run off to tell when to feed. Thank you

Anytime Grow Bro. I start watering or feeding to run off once I have 5-6 nodes showing or around week 3.5-4. A good judgement would be the large lower fan leaves reaching the outside of the pot. Run off is critical especially using FF nutrients, the un-used salts and minerals from the previous feeding will be rinsed away preventing any nutrient lockout and allows you to test that for PH and PPMs to adjust for the next feeding. Soil likes a wet to dry cycle as well as feed to watering cycle alternating the feed/water

Amazing… is there any good literature you can recommend… you either know about a good book or probably can write one lol i need to learn more…
