I’ve been gardening veggies, flowers, and herbs since childhood with my mom. I’ve started my 1st serious attempt at mj. I got auto blueberry here from ILGM and started 4 seeds in a paper towel about a week ago. 3 are in rock wool, now ready for the big move. They have their 2nd set of leaves and look great. The other seed, I’m concerned about. It’s split and has a tiny little taproot, but still just tiny. Should I give up and start a new one?
Anyway, for the 3 that are ready, I got 2 5-gallon dws systems. The other, I’m going with a 4-gallon pot of coco. I’m pretty confused about how much nutrient to add. I got Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow for the grow phase. Bloom and Hydroplex for the flowering phase. Can anyone tell me how much per gallon for the hydro and how much for my 1-gallon watering can for my coco?
These will all be indoors in a tent under 600w LED

I would plant the seeds any way and let nature do her thing. and as far as nutrients, in my opinion, I use a lite touch with any fertilizer at the beginning of any grow. start with good soil and that should have enough nutrition to get your babies going and then keep a close eye on them and look for malnutrition from there. If you ordered seeds from ILGM your should have got your Grow Bible (great reference btw) it wont steer you wrong. I am in the middle of my first grow as well but my ladies are out doors, in the ground, and require a little different attention. and honestly, being a life long gardener of most things roots and fruits, trust your instincts. at the end of the day MJ is still a plant water, food, light, and luv.
keep posting I am interested in how your grow turns out.

My wife said the same thing about the questionable seed.
I’m not using soil at all. 2 hydros and 2 coco coir. I have to add nutes. I just don’t know how much.
Thanks for the response though. I’ll keep updating. I’ll include pics at some point. I’m using GrowBuddy on my iPad as a journal.
