Hello folks,

I'm starting another grow. Took a little time off after the last two but I'm geared up and ready to get my shit in order.

My first two grows were from clones with the exception of on plant I started from seed. So, this is pretty much my first time starting from seeds. I have Blueberry seeds that I got from Seed Boutique. All I did was put them in party cups and three days later they were an inch tall, amazing. Also, if I may make a suggestion, I think we should all put our hands together for Seed Boutique. They rock, took 5 days for my seeds to get here in an unmarked box and they all came up without a hitch...

Back to business, my babies have been up for about 4 days and they are about 2 inches tall. They are under 400w t5's. My question is when can I start hitting them with nutes? I potted them in Black Gold soil with 0 ferts. They look like they are growing pretty fast to me... Thanks for any impute you may have oh wise ones...

If your soil has 0 ferts you can start feeding anytime after a week or so,I would start with say 1/4 strength nutes and see how things go.If the tips dont burn then the next feeding you can get a bit stronger each time.

I always hold off on nutes till the cotyledons fall off.

Sounds good fella's, they look to be growing pretty good right now without any nutes... I may let them run for another week and see how they are doing. Cotyledons are the first small roundish leaves I'm guessing? They are still there but the first set of surated leaves are growing really fast. I have the flouro's about two inches away to keep them from stretching there little legs...

Thanks for the info... I can always count on you guys to lend a hand...
