when to start feeding? and how much? newbie here

Hey guys when do you start feeding nutes? My bitch (hopefully a bitch) is way to young yet just trying to get a idea here, started her from seed about a month ago, starting on her 5th set of leaves. Also starting to see some leaves peeking out of her first true branches meet the stem :) when I do feed how much nutes to water ratio do I use?
would love to post pix but im on my cell it won't let me at all I've tried everything lol thanks guys.

Do about half strength of what your nutrients state then work your way up. It should tell you on the side of the container your nutrients come in. I agree with the above around 6 weeks after planting in your final soil.

Depends on what you're running. Are you doing CFL's, HPS, metal halide? How big is the container that it's in? What soil are you using? What nutes are you using? Right now I'm running 2 600's with 5 gallon pots. I use FFOF (Fox Farms Ocean Forest) as my medium. They say for Fox Farms you don't need to feed for about 4 weeks, but I've noticed they need feeding after about 2 weeks, and they love it. HPS/MH will make your plants blow up way faster than using CFL's.

It really depends on how fertile the soil you use is. I personally use fox farms ocean forest because it allows me to wait until flowering before I start my nutes. But if the soil I was using was lower quality I'd probably start after around 5 weeks. Always use half of the recommended amount of nutrients for whatever you use.
 
Right now I'm using a 20in 19wyatt floresent bulb ( ik its wrong) only thing I got at the moment in a broke fuck haha and I'm using half gallon pot , with mircale grow soil , and I don't have any nutes I'm gunna use flowering feed from mircale grow .

I use fox farm nutrients and when u buy it it comes with a feeding schedule...Literally by the book pretty simple to understand.
If u use the fox farm line they all kind of work in conjuction with one another and makes it pretty simple to understand at least
for me it does...You can use big bloom immediately and add grow big after 2 weeks and then of course
tiger bloom when flowering.

for those saying they wait till around week 6 to add nute i feel like i would be losing out on 4 weeks of pretty badass
growth...


no problems so far...
