Both of those will work but for me it would be a bit strong. Very soon your plants will slow a bit then turn a bit pale and it will lose its “glow.” Those nutes are a bit scary but a quarter strength at first of 10-2-4 would be fine. In my opinion if you have an Aloe Vera around the house take a spear 10 - 12 inches long and scrape into a bowl and smashit up good. add it to a five gallon bucket. Mix well and i would add some Humic and Fulvic if you have it. This a tonic for large plants or feed for the babies.

Hey @El95124, you can def feed with either of those although no one here would recommend it. Lol when you can 'grt to a hydro store and get something more developed for cannabis. If you’re gonna feed with those if use the liquid right now as it has high nitrogen and the plant uses a lot of it during veg. You may not want to feed full strength yet either as they’re still young and you don’t know how they feed. I wish I could be more helpful but I am more of an organic guy.
@Eddie.saw can you explain to me what growing organic really is because I thought using soil and no pesticides was organic lol but I’ve recently learned that is far from true lol and what are the pros and cons of doing it that way?
Oh man… You just opened a can of worms. Basically organic gardening is gardening without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. But organic gardening is much more than simply replacing manmade chemicals with those derived from natural sources. It is a philosophy of gardening that supports the health of the whole system.
Benefits would be hardier plants, not putting cancer causing chemicals in your bud, it’s better for the environment because your not polluting with your ferts, the methods used to make chemical ferts is bad for the environment and when it comes to my opinion,itswhat the plant wants, the best replication of the perfect natural conditions.

Organic farming. Now thats a hard one. Some might say its not using chemicals. Some may say its when you use organic chemicals. Personaly i believe the word organic to be a word givin to people so they can use it to make them feel better about using their general organics nutrient line. google says organic means “relating to or derived from living matter”. and farming means “the activity or business of growing crops and raising livestock”. so i think the definition of organic farming would be “The activity of growing crops and/or raising livestock using living matter”. where is the living matter in a bottle or bag? I like to use Natural Farming like masanobu fukoka in the one straw revolution. you grow plants like alfalfa, clover, hairy vetch etc. all over the ground. then you throw seed down instead of germinating them like how a plant would shoot the seed from the pod and it would land covered by the cover crop as protection. then you let it germinate and throw down straw. itll grow through the cover crop and mulch. then you let it grow how it wants. no nutrients. no training. no pesticides. no weeding. no pest management. let it grow. its nature bro, let it do its work, you dont see humans wandering the forests weeding the plants. spraying pesticides, fertilizing. training etc. just let it be.
That ‘natural farming’ is that the same thing as this no till thing I been seeing people use in there rooms? I forgot who it was on YouTube but i just watched a video of a dude who leaves his roots and shit in there to decompose. I wasn’t paying alot of attention but he was talking about alfalfa and worms n’at.
@El95124 have you fed or transplanted yet?
Check out Newbie questions posted what I have for Transplanting and need some advice on how to
Transplanting gets to be a personal preference type of situation. I veg a long time so i let my roots fill my medium. This will cause a slight slow down of growth as the soil becomes thinner and the roots get bigger. When you are waiting for the room to open up it doesn’t matter. When you grow for absolute yield your watching the top of the plant ( what’s on top is the same as below hypotheses) and when you think the roots are just filling the pot you transplant before they start spiraling or getting to heavily air pruned. The less slow down, the faster turn around and more yield. I hope this is what you were looking for.
