does this need to be fed?

[kushaddict]

These are the first set of leaves. She is on day 18. Just showed up today. I havent used any nutes yet. They are in ffof soil. Ph in is 6.7 and ph out is 5.7, I dont know how to calculate that? Im hoping they are just asking for some nitrogen...

Hi Kush , looks like there hungry mate

Sounds about right. What strength nute did you feed? I would start off very easy on nutes first feed and see how they respond. OF is known for being "hot" so right around week three is usually good time to begin 1:4 strength nutes

 

[kushaddict]

I gave it 1/2 tsp to a gallon of water. So like 1/4 strength is what it was.

In at 6.7, out at 5.7(according to maths, soil could be under 5)...Could be lock out! If it is, then flush. adding nutes to soil will compound the problem!

Less water, that's for sure. Too much water causes the roots to lock their uptake channels. I worry more about the amount of water I give than I care about nutes and ph. You should too.

Fair point, I only water/feed when pot is light.

 

[kushaddict]

I only water every 3 days and thats from picking up the pot and feeling its ready. Ive read numerous threads about ffof giving a really low runoff ph....it should still have some buffers in the soil. The plant currently is still growing like a champ.
