Seedlings in solo cup nutrients?

I am growing in pro mix and I plan on using advanced nutrients starter kit for nutrients.I went from seeds in water to root root seed pods in the little don now I’m ready for solo cups my question is do I put my nutrients in the pro mix that’s in the cup ?And advice is much appreciated

Two sides here, some say the colys will feed the plant until it gets true leaves. I personally flush my Promix with nutes at 200 ppm until media is soaked, then I let it drain until it stops dripping. I start my seeds in damp towels, so I plant the sprouts in the saturated Promix, where they usually pop thru the next day. They won’t get any more water for about a week, they stay in a dome with high humidity. I’ve found they grow a bit faster with the Jacks in the Promix.

I used same method on coco on this grow, only I added cal mag with the nutes to soak the coco with. Go back on my journal and look at how they started and took off, no stalling at all, they grew fast and deep green from day one. I use the same technique on clones, just stick them in that mixture in a solo and week and a half to two, they have roots out the bottom.

Promix and coco, neither have any nutrient value to them, they say the colys feed them until they get true leaves, but I say let the roots feed them too, so I precharge mine.

Possible in ffhf? Or just go hot with ffof?

No! They have a nutrient charge. FF needs nothing but water the first 30-40 days.

2 weeks roots out bottom of solo..yeah right..more like 3 week’s min.

Doesnt matter how charged your medium is
..no root to uptake them..not for long time either.

Seedlings dont have roots..1 tap root thats it

What makes it solid..?adding fertilizer to medium?..why ..its not available and the plant is too young to even need them

I tagged you in.

You might want to separate those before roots get tangled.

My journal is Growdocs First Journal, Yall Asked For It. Go see for yourself, I’ve clearly documented my grows and what I do, results don’t lie. I tried to tag you in the journal but your name won’t come up in the tag. Ask anyone here, I’m full of shit picking around but I’m dead serious about my grows.
