strain: widow
medium: fox farms ocean forest/perlite
lighting: 300W LED main with CFL supplement, running gas light routine
water: spring water
I could really use some guidance on when to begin a nutrient regimen. My plant is 48 days from seed, and I plan to stay in veg until day 60 before switching to flower. I have the fox farms trio and some cal/mag available when needed, but I've seen enough posts about ocean forest being a bit hot to question when I may actually need them. My plant is growing bushy and very thick, and the leaves are still healthy and green. It was up-potted from a solo cup to a 3 gallon Smart pot with fresh ocean forest soil & perlite at day 29 and I've been watering with just spring water.
Should nutrients be withheld until the plant shows signs of needing it? I don't know if it would be better to keep relying on the nutrients in the ocean forest soil all the way through veg, or if I'll perhaps see bigger/better yield if I go ahead and start 1/4-strength fox farms trio now. What is the conventional wisdom here? Are nutrients recommended for better results, or should I stick with spring water if it's still lush green and showing strong growth?
