2 weeks old: fertiliser?

[Bignell91]

Morning guys girls

My plants are now about 2 week old with 2-3nodes, the leaves are slightly out growing the cup and the water is gone within 2 days would this be a good time to start adding a little fertiliser? Or just water until for another week?

If the original little round seed leaves have yellowed that means its nutrients are exhausted and time to started gradually introducing your nutrients. Start at an eighth to quarter strength. If you are going by the nutrient manufacturer's feeding recommendations, I would use a 1/4 to a 1/3 of what they recommend to start. When the plant is quite big don't go beyond half of their recommendation.

Yeah they have gone yellow I'll start adding on my next feed thankyou

If you peak your feed at half strength you shouldn't see nutrient burn and the plants WILL grow to the height you want them eventually. At the vegging stage, being sparing with the food won't affect your final yield and it will ensure your plant is nice and healthy when you flip the light.
