What's up everyone, this is my first grow ever I have four plants all a week from sprout. There's 3 polar light#3 and 1 blue diesel. There in five gallon pots with 420 lite soil mix
Grow tent 3x3x5
4'' intake
8" out
2 300 watt Mars hydro led lights 18/6 schedule
I have fox farm nutrients but only fed water so far
Cuz I don't know what kinda feeding schedule I should be on. The water is pH 6.5
Any advice would be great. Thanks joe

Personally I waited until mine were two weeks old to start feeding. Then give the first feeding at one quarter strength nutrients. Wait another week and give half strength nutrients. Keep them at half strength unless the leaves become light green. Then you can try full strength. The times I tried full strength I ended up with brown tips on the leaves indicating nitrogen toxicity.
I did not use Fox farm nutes so hopefully someone with experience can chime in.
Which Fox Farm nutrients do you have?
 
Yup, start in on nutes at around week 2 (so in about a week). The soil probably has enough in it to get it started. Then at 1/4 strength for a week at least to see how the plants take it. The feeding schedule is available on the fox farms website. Here is a link directly to a pdf of the soil feeding schedule.
