House and Garden Nute Strength - Seedlings


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Just had a couple of seedlings pop up from 3 gal fabric pots filled with coco. I use house and garden coco nutes usually but can't remember initial strength for seedlings one week old.

They suggest 1.5ml/litre of A for week one and 2ml/litre for week 2. I started of with 0.5ml/litre for the first week.

All looks OK but I've noticed just a touch of lighter green/yellow coming from the centre of both.

Wondering if it's due to not enough nutes? I dont think I'm overwatering as I give a light water every 2nd day.

Just about to mix my second lot of nutes and will probably go with 1ml/litre now.

Thoughts? Do I need to go stronger than that yet?

I'm trying white widow max autos.

Thanks ozstoners,

MLG

Pictures tell a thousand words. Normally if they're paling from centre out, you would assume more feeding. New growth will be paler naturally.

 

Better off measuring with ec meter as recommended ratios are never perfect for your specific grow. Better off reading ya plant then the back of a bottle

I used h&g last year.

 

Never went over 2ml at any time I don't think.

 

I'd stay with .5ml and see how they are in a week.

 

Pic may help. Lot of people more experienced with Coco on here.

 

Post a pic and I'm sure some of the big guns will chime in.

 

Less is more, easier to add instead of fucking around flushing when ya go too hard with the nutes.

 

I assume your pH and EC are all spot on.

As soon as it starts to lose colour u got to feed it

Just went through the learning curve raising seedlings in coco n perlite

As soon as the first set gets 1cm in length start feeding at 0.6 ec for the best results

Personally I never go over 1.2 ec n get fantastic results

When I adopted this method all seedlings grew Into better plants quickly and no signs of deficiency etc

Small dose of cal mag week 2 then every week from there on

I'm not suggesting this works , I know it does
