3-4 weeks is a good time.

As a rule, don't feed just after transplnting into new soil. When u start to feed (after a week or 2 into the fresh soil) start with 1/4 strength and work up slowly.

i usually dont touch my nutes for the first month. if they look healthy and green dont feed them

I start my plants on nutes 3 days after germination.

I feed nutes 1/4 strength when I see the second set of leaves on the seedling thats for hydro though.. Soil usually has nutes in it so you just need to water for the first few weeks.

haha 3 days....thats the guy i would not listen to...if your using decent soil it will feed them for a good 3 weeks then start using the nutes..hydro i have no idea personally

1/4 strength is fairly vague for a hydro setup.

Ocean Forest is extremely hot without nutes. Alot of times it is too hot for seedlings.

I agree, for a seedling you should mix it with some light warrior or start out with light warrior and up can after a few weeks.

Isn't Foxfarm Growbig a soil ?? Im in Europe so Im not sure.

Or at worst flush that rich soil first to reduce the Ec/ppm
