Feed - Water - Water? Good starting point?

[BillyBud420]

Hello all,

I am almost at the 10 day mark for my one plant and am about to start feeding! (Botanicare and PromixHP)

So far, it is taking my 1/2 gallon pots 3 days to get light enough for watering. As a result, I'm thinking of feeding every third watering. Is this a good starting point?

 

[Emilya Green]

what is the medium you are growing in? Do you even need to feed so young?

thanks for the reply Emilya!

I'm using Promix HP and RO water.

Here are the ingredients of the Promix HP:

Canadian sphagnum peat moss (65-75%)
Perlite
Limestone
Wetting agent
MYCORRHIZAE™ PREMIER TECH (Glomus intraradices)

I see very little organic food for the plants in this list and this makes your operation essentially soilless. Since this is the situation, I would recommend running this as if it were a hydro operation, and if it were me, I would be giving a nute mix every time I watered, adjusted to the proper ppm's for the stage in life of your plants.

Thanks for that Emylia! I shall try that.
