I've been watering my older plants with the suggested 1 teaspoon of Fox Farms Grow Big to 1 gallon of water. Can I water my unsprouted seeds? What about babies that have just broken the soil? In the description it says to use "within two weeks of sprouting or transplanting." Am I safe to use it? On a second note: Should I use Big Bloom their first two weeks?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | its not needed to feed em when there that lil or before they even break dirt, it will help the soil tho for later. I got impatient one time and fed 2 week old seelings liquid k and they seemed to like it alot.. i only gave em about 8 drops per litre, I just used an old puppy eye dropper i had. shultz 277 works pretty good too when there small, its very light too. I use peat moss and worm castings for seeds, keeps them well fed for a few weeks to a month | ||

It is best to wait BackPacker420, I use foxfarm and have done what you are thinking of trying...I didn't have good results, if I remember correctly 3/5 ended up dead, quickly. It could be due to the strain though, who knows...I've just had no success feeding plants until the starter leaves are yellow and the fan leaves have begun to definitive growth...my ![]() | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I usually try and wait until flower before I nute burn my plants ![]() I second/third/fourth the motion. I use Grow Big also, and don't feed them anything until there are a few sets of leaves and the round leaves (what are those called? cotelodon? that's not right or spelled right) fall off. I also don't give them a full teaspoon for a gallon. I start my seeds in 4" pots, so I mix a capful in a 2 liter bottle to water them with. Once they get bigger I give them a full teaspoon per gallon, but that's in bigger pots. ![]() that's just my ![]()
