mid stage feeding? Are they in veg or flower?what medium are you useing. Indoor or outdoor.

If you just started them from seedlings it really does depend a lot on what medium your using.. if the medium already has slow release foods in it, no feeding 1st 2 weeks.. the plant also has starting foods within itself to care for it the first 2wks and feeding some strains to early actually stunt them.. at 2wks start early veg foods at half strength or less, then slowly up to 3/4. Most won't even need full strength unless your running organics.. give us a wee bit more info and we can help you a lot more ok..

My medium is indoor. And they r in veg. My nftg nutes can b used on early mid late stages if veg and flower just not sure when to start mid stage feeding lol

One plant of mine was popping on the 23rd of October and is sexed. The other seven were done the end of November

I agree with quagmire. I grow in soil and keep a very similar schedule that quagmire stated but when I flip I go through whats called the transition period and cut back 50% on grow and start introducing bloom at 1/4 strength and the a week later bump it up to 1/2 strength - the grow.
Good luck!

Well I'm using coco coir. I'm wondering how big/old a plant has to b to b considered a mid stage. I'd assume after they r sexed that's mid stage and layer stage is a few weeks before flower?

Then I would roll with 6 to 8 weeks old. Just going by how I grow. 6 weeks veg, 8 to 10 flower. 8 would work for me.

This is my feeding chart I'm using the pro level u notice how it says above the feedings early mid late stages for both flower and veg? That's what I'm confused about lololol. When r they considered to b in those stages?

in veg for seedlings...with a good light source..after about 25 days or so depending...when they start branching aggressively. clones will need it sooner. In flower..once they start increasing budset..at about 3 weeks in and gradually increase to peak. Peak feeds are gonna be weeks 4, 5, and 6.

Ok so I should have started mid stage veg feeding a while ago lol. Probably should already b in late stage for veg. Thx natural

And by branching aggressively u mean...what exactly?

Not the nodes but having actual branches?

well..once they fill the pot with roots and start drinking more..they get legs..meaning the main branches off the stalk will start producing stems of their own.

Ok I was thinking that's what u meant so so far only one should b getting mid stage although she should have a while ago lol. What is late stage for veg? A few weeks before going into flower I'm assuming?

Once they get big enough to start getting full strength feeds I don't let up. I tend to feed full strength veg nutes through week 1 of flower..then I feed them water for a couple days..then I start hitting them with bloom nutes. I get alot of veg growth and stretch during my first 2 weeks. I don't want to carry the N too far into that first bit of flower because I want them to make budsets, but it takes a bit for the auxins to build up from the dark period.
Look at it this way..if I grow pure sativas I will carry the Veg feeds at least 2 weeks into flower..with pure indicas I feed bloom the day I flip. With hybrids I carry the veg nutes into bloom 1 week.

Ok cool thx for info and advice
