Hey guys, just a quick question here. If you start seeds in a soil that is not nutrient rich by any means, and your plants start showing deficiencies, can I use my Fox Farms liquid nuts as a Foliar spray to help boost? I am noticing some yellowing in the leaves and stunted growth. This plant popped out of the soil June 3rd. The soil I used isn’t good soil at all, so the NPK ratios are incredibly low. I’ve noticed growth hasn’t been very good lately, and I was just wondering if I use a super tiny bit of the Fox Farms liquid nutes (the one with the tomato’s on it 😂 I think it’s big bloom or something ) as a foliage spray to give them a pick me up. Not sure if this is a good idea to do to seedlings as they are easily nutrient burned. But like I said, a super super tiny amount like less than a drop, diluted in water. This is a blueberry autoflower by the way. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/f/c/5fc18202de12ff74293e41218e8f57610b3f0e11.jpeg) ---

You can use big bloom whenever. It’s gentle and light. Don’t foliar spray it. Just water it in. Doesn’t look like a plant that’s suffering. Just looks slow to fill in with chlorophyll. ---

Thank you for the comment! Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on with this plant. I read that if the new leaves are a lighter shade of green, almost yellow looking, it could be an iron deficiency. But i was also thinking it could just be a slow plant, some will be like that and later explode with growth. So I’m hoping she fills out with more green, it’s just a little upsetting when you see something abnormal. I also read that it could be nitrogen deficiency, which is probable due to the poor quality of the soil. ---

Nah she’ll be fine. They have the cotyledons to feed them. Keep the watering real light. She doesn’t have a large root system yet so she can’t consume a lot of water. Too much water at this point and she’ll drown. ---

Absolutely keeping the watering really light. I haven’t watered since June 12th at 8 am. I’ve been waiting until the soil feels dry up to 2 knuckles deep in the soil. I’ll probably give her a drink in the morning. The soil still felt a little damp this morning. Do you think big bloom would be okay to water? Giving like a third of the reccomended dose? Especially giving the fact that the soil is pretty low in nutrients? ---

You can full dose big bloom. It’s organic and gentle. ---

I bought one of those floating foam seed trays with the seed plugs. I am hoping that once the seedling is slightly established, I can just add FFBB to the water in the tray. I just need to look at how much, and what could be “too much”.
