Help with starting nutrients and stuff!

Hello!
I've been frequenting this site for quite sometime and wanted to start by saying thank you to all the people who have contributed to this wealth of knowledge. I am extremely fresh when it comes to growing marijuana or any plant for that matter. I've read and searched as much as I could before posting here. For starters, here's my setup;

Strains: Strawberry Cough and Blueberry BC
# of Plants: 2
Grow type: Soil
Grow Stage: Vegetative
Bucket Size: 5 Gallon
Light: (1) 400 Watt HPS
Nutrients: Fox Farms Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow Big (None have been used)
Medium: Fox Farms Ocean Forest ~70%/ Perlite ~30%
PPM: N/A (Used only purified water)
PH: 7
Relative Humitiy: ~40% to 50%
Room Temp: 75F to 83F
Room Size: 2'7" x 2'7" x 5'3"
Pests: None So Far

So, I read the "Nutes and How to Use Them" thread and noticed what I think to be a few typos under the Fox Farms Soil section. (Week 2 there's a difference in measurements, it switches from tsp to tbs) This made me nervous. Also, I am uncertain how to take the information and apply it to the two beauties that I have. I suppose the problem I have is which week should I start on from my feeding schedule. Right off the bat, I am uncertain and unable to find or estimate the plants age. They both are clones from the same grower, and I know they were "cloned" at the same time. They both show calyxs (preflowers?). The Strawberry Cough is on the shorter side at around a foot, and the Blueberry BC is taller at around 18 inches. They were both in party cups and were transplanted into 5 gal containers 2 days ago. Could someone with some experience give me a little nudge in the right direction? I'm going to attempt to add a photo, if it works I'll add more later.

Thanks Guys! :thumb:

 
No experince with the fox farm nuts it self but all over i use the schetual theye give me with the nuts and start at 1/4 off the strengt and just slowly work your way up to max strengt.:goodluck:

Ya MRXC is right if you don't know the plant go easy then bump it up i have been growing Northing lights for two years so i know what she can't and can take sounds like you have a nice set up :blunt:
 
Thanks guys!
Now that I think about it, that does make sense to me. I know its not safe to premix concentrates, what about say premixing a gallon of water to use over time?
 
I wouldn't recommend it that way the pH is proper I do it right away when it's feeding time. But if you do stored it just make sure the pH is OK check it before you pour it may go out of whack I've done it before where I stored it and it's been OK to feed
 
OK, i'll worry about PH and mixing when it comes time. I figure I should go one more pass with plain PH'd water before I add any nutes! Thanks again for all your help!
