the strain is big bang fem.

Today is day 31 of veg. the plant started off in a small pot for about 3 weeks in MG starting mix, 7 days ago i transplanted it Fox Farm ocean forest soil. its in a 3 gallon pot temps atm stay at 87 Fahrenheit. im using a 90w led light and i also have a small fan in there.

My question though is, the packaging says no needed fertelizer for up to 30 days but should i start feeding it small amounts? im trying to prevent nutrient burn thats why i havent been feeding it. i have the 3 pack grow big big bloom and tiger bloom.

i measured it today its 7inch tall, ruler touching the soil.

this is my first grow please let me know what you guys think.

If this is your first grow, don't make the same LED mistake that I did. I started getting a very bright green at the base of the leaves. I got alot of advice from people on here as to nitrogen and calmag, but it ended up being Iron. Your plant looks healthy right now, just pay attention. If you don't correct it if/when it happens, your plant will suffer. You may not have the same issue as you used MG soil first, I used Light Warrior. But my issue didn't really exist until after I switched to full FFOF. From all the reading I have done and from my first 2 grows, I saw that I needed to supplement Calmag & Iron. That being said, I would wait another week or so and then give it 1/4 - 1/2 strength Grow Big and see how the plant reacts. I also use FF nutes but I use the full 6. Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Blooms, & Cha-Ching.

Your plant looks fine, dude. Don't have to feed for at least a couple more weeks. If you really want to add something, consider molasses at like 1TBS/gal. Molasses will feed the micros in your soil. Nurture the soil, and it'll take care of the plant

I'd have to agree. Looks nice, but could be much bigger and fuller by now.
Here are two of my girls in their 5th week of veg, third day outside, that I've been feeding once a week, and giving a little superthrive every watering.IMAG1104.jpg

Had to dial back the strength a bit for the first two weeks-(notice the slight burn at bottom)-
But look how much of a difference good nutes can make in the same amount of time.

I'd have to say feed them now-they're hungry! Lol.
Just introduce the nutes at 1/2 strength first and gauge how they react before the next feeding;
-signs of burn=just water and superthrive for about a week, then feed again at a slightly reduced dose if it looks like its pulling out of the burn. -no burn=go full strength.

Thanks Chris! I LSTd the plant and topped it once to get a nice even canopy like that. Really trying to maximize the 250w hps.
