When to feed

[Islandgrow]

Was wondering some soils come with starting nutes when would be the time to start giving nutes. When the plant starts showing deficiencies? Sooo if it doesn't show deficiencies should I feed.

"carpe diem"

It all depends on the soil but I'm assuming if you didn't pay a lot for it that you are going to need to feed sooner rather than later. I would look at it as let me feed until I see I'm feeding too much than waiting for a deficiency.

In general it is for soil grow, forth week of growth in a regular/fem plant is when you start One third of dose.
Auto plants after/in 2nd week.

Other mediums other stories.

It is a peat based mix which contains some manure and some dry nutrients from earthjuice mixed In . I water only and through the life of the auto it never showed any deficiencies.

Ok . Just playing devils advocate.
Why feed if no deficiencies are showing.
It has ferts mixed into soil prior to planting.

It helps to boost the growth of plant. Depending on the soil you use, some need more fertilizers and some soil has it added.

With new soils or nutrients, I look to the plants for my instructions. If they look perfect, I do nothing. 'N' is the most mobile nutrient, the first nute' they are likely to need, the easiest to "correct" and the quickest for them to recover from. In general, I don't think a plant needs anything for about the first month even in sterile, soiless mediums. I don't like "starter nute's". I find them unnecessary and possibly even detrimental.
