Nutrients, I’m new need some help

I have the bergmans nutrients from ilgm, I just planted my seed, I’m only growing one plant. How much do I use and do I just add it once or is it through out the week? I see the feed schedule it just seems like a lot of water to add at once

Feeding should be done from several weeks in veg and continue until harvest. When you start feeding depends on what soil you are using. What soil are you growing in?

Certainly don’t feed until the cotyledon leaves (the little round first set of leaves) have yellowed. They contain the nutrients your plant needs until they are gone.

Seedlings only need a few ml of water each day.

Feed as necessary to maintain a runoff PPM of ~1,000 when the plant is mature. Apera and Bluelab both make good pH and PPM meters.

So I don’t use the seedling booster that comes in the pack?Or it’s just based off soil I’m now assuming

In that soil you wont need neuts till 4/6 weeks after transplant. Assuming you transplant into more FFOF

Just saw you have an auto??? Are you going to transplant?? Either way as far as feeding goes feed when your PPM drops to 800 to 1k.

Roger that. Youll be good on nutes for at least a month if not more. Just watch your plant. Invest in a tds and ph meter ( 20 bucks for a starter set on amazon). With autos less is usually more, so whatever the recommended dosage is, cut in half and see how she reacts when you do start feeding. Autos are finicky like pissed off Karens. You never know what to expect from her. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
