first grow

[marcusbizz]

i would appreciate the help. i am new to this cannabis growing world. my first grow is a tent grow, 4x4x7 400 watt hps air cooled light, 6 inch hurricane fan blowing though the light to outside the tent. 4 inch ducking fan blowing air in tent. 1 small isolating fan, small air purifier. started 7 seeds in water on 10/01/14 at 10pm.. i made out with 5 good plains, from what i know. its been 14 days, inside tent temp is 74 to 82 humidity is 43 to 57% they are all about 3 inches, i'm using regular soil in cups, they look very healthy. my question is when should start with the nutrients? and does anyone know if recipe for success is good?

Are they all the same strain, or are those plants 5 different ones? Have you just been giving them tap water/distilled water so far? I'd say water once more maybe, then transplant, then start feeding once they dry out after the transplant. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here

They are all white widow. Thank you. .

they are looking good, could probably start on 1/4 strength nutes any time. what do you mean by "regular soil"?? if your just taking dirt from outside it may cause you problems at some point if it has not been sterilized.... you should also have a soil ph meter if you do not have one already...

hey man .. when u say regular soil are we talking yard dirt , miracle grow?

they look good. if your soil has no nutrients in it at all i would start with 1/2 or 1/4 the recommended dose and see how the react to it.

I agree with devils letuce, I would just suggest testing it on one plant first.

i'm using potting soil from home depot, just for seeding.. what kind of soil do u recommend when i transplant?

I usually wait till my seedlings have 3-4 good nodes before I start adding nutrients. But I add half strength when I do add them.
