Thanks Muddy!

They sure have been growing.

I think that I might swing my they grow store today and pick up some nutes. I cant wait to see how they respond to them.

I just finished moving the girls back inside. Boy did they enjoy the sunshine today. The buds went crazy in the natural sunlight. They are also starting to have a nice aroma ;).
My brother (who does not smoke or grow) was helping me move them and kept complaining about how bad they smelled :). Music to my ears.....

Last night around 9:00 I added one teaspoon of Tiger Bloom and one tablespoon of Big Bloom to a gallon of water. I watered all of the girls with this and crossed my fingers.
I was kind of worried about how they would handle their first nutes. This morning they look GREAT. The leaves are super perky and the buds look like they have put on massive weight. They are also starting to get buds all the way down to the soil level. :)

How long does it take for you to see nutrient burn on plants? I dont want to get too excited too soon.

Now that I am starting the nutrients, do I feed at every watering or so many times per week? When can I start upping the dosage?

Thanks for any help!

It might take a few days to show up.You can give nutes every watering if you have a week solution.I ddont know how old your girls are but i would think you could go maybe half strength around week five ,thats if you started at one quarter.Those liguid nutes usually are pretty weak so i wouln't worry.
 
As Namvet said, you can give a lower dose with every feeding. I'd suggest one more 1/4 strength feeding, then go to 1/2. Given that you're using the FFOF soil you may not need to go higher. But after feeding them 1/2 a couple times you can try going to 3/4. It takes 3-4 days after feeding for any signs of nute burn to show up. The leaves may curl down a bit and the tips will turn yellow.
 
I hope they handle their nutes well!

They are looking so good right now. They are getting better smelling every day too. They have a faint citrus aroma right now, especially the purple cheese.
I will get some pictures taken today. I want to document how they respond the the Fox Farm nutes.

once i start my nutes i feed every other time i water, but thats just me, and its easy to remember. and i alway worry about some salt build up or nutrient lock out so i tend to under feed rather than over feed, probably hurts my yeild a little, but gives me peace of mind. i can always add something but emergency flushing/transplanting sounds like a nightmare so i wanna avoid at all cost. But Muddy knows this growing game much better than most of us so when in doubt follow his lead and you should be good :)

look forward to pics
 
Thanks PD.

I just finished snapping a few shots of the girls. They look really good after a nice long sunbath....


I will post this evening.

I fed last night. But I only used one gallon of treated water divided amongst the three of them.

After today's heat they are due for a water'in, should I add another 1/4 strength shot, or got just plain water?

Thanks
