    whilst they grow & stretch they need plenty of nitrogen
    once the growing/stretching is over the need for Nitrogen drops greatly

    that's when i start pk feeding, with an odd dose of grow or bloom mixed in as/if it's needed

    the question you have ryan is do they actually need fed yet or is the soil still feeding them?
    it's soil supreme that's very heavy with nitrogen

    a picture is a better indicator than age or soil, hope this helps

    Default good question

    It would be better if you could transplant into a larger pot with the Original soil. However, if you start your bloom fertilizer, I would start with 1/4 the manufacture recommends and bottom water with feed until the plant gets used to the new environment. Example, just water as usual with plane water on top, and then water from the bottom with a of mix of water and nutrients from the bottom tray, and let it suck up the nutes from the bottom. After the plant get used to the feed then start adding from the top!

    "Weakly weekly" is the term for this method and it works great. Weakly means lower nutes and weekly gives you a week to see the results.

    I put them straight into 15l pots didn't think I would need any bigger lol, as I said they take usally 4l every 4 days, you reckon I should maybe out a litre through top and let it speak up the other from bottom??? or shall I water less with first feed and do more frequently?? haven't seen any color changes on the plant just thought as it's been 7 weeks they would need it by now haha, still seeing daily changes so can't be going too bad
