Full strength nutes by week 3 of veg, in an amended potting mix... your likely to burn your plants.

Surprised you havent done so yet to be honest with ya. I use sunshine mix (which isnt super nutrient heavy), and dont even start providing nutrients until around week 3 when leaves start to lighten in color.

Let the plant tell you what your plant needs, rather than the nutrient label. Save a ton of money on excess nutes, and prevent issues with nute burn/salt buildup in the medium

Leaves tell you a lot about your plant if you know what to look for. Leaf color and general plant vigor is how the plant tells you what it needs. In veg, it's really easy to read the plants nutritional needs, if all else is well.

In an otherwise healthy plant in veg, leaves will go from dark green, to light green, to yellow as Nitrogen is used up in your medium.

When you begin to notice your leaves are more of a lime green, than a dark green.. it needs food. Genetics play a factor in leaf color as well, so all of this is relative to the specific plant, but in general, light color leaves = Hungry, Darker color leaves = Satisfied

In flower, you can follow recommendations a bit closer, just reducing dosage. Every grow will be different, and every nute line is different, so just play around with it... but generally less is more.

Depends how much longer your willing to veg for. If you too you need to give the plant a couple weeks to regrow. You can use LST to keep the plants down a bit
