    Default When to start feeding nutrients to plants???

    Have germed some trainwreck seeds and have now potted them.


    3 died as I think I over watered them whilst they were in the root riot cubes (had to go away with work for 2 days so over compensated (bad idea)

    I have 5 that seem green and healthy and are in pots - some looking bigger than others.


    I'm using a 200w cfl on 18/6.


    I'm currently just watering them every other day but when should I start using the nutrients??



    I'm in coco soil and have coco A + B. Do I mix the A & B together or are they for seperate stages veg/flowering? The bottle is a little unclear.



    And I've a PH tester - what is the Ph I should aim for and is that the Ph for the total solution when mixed not just the water before its mixed.

    [this feeding schedule has been calculated towards soft water]

    you should mix the nutrients and then adjust the pH balance to approx 5.8 after you have mixed them into the water

    hope this helps

    Thanks dj

    I think I'm in a soft to medium water area now - my kettle has no lime scale in it and it used to get scaled up very quickly.


    I'm only using A & B - the other chemicals aren't essential are they??


    As I think the cubes are possibly still damp(I put the whole cubes into soil once the roots showed out the bottom) how much water should I put into each pot at a time as they are only babies at the moment? There 11 litres btw
