Do I need nutrients in the first week of growing?
Just planted my seed in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Do I start feeding nutrients right away or wait? I bought the Fox Farm trio but don't want to burn my baby plant.

NO nutrients for the first 3-4 weeks in FFOF. That soil is already packed with everything the plant needs. Adding more will cause nutrient burn (yellow/brown crispy leaf tips).
Start feeding at 1/4 strength around week 4, then gradually increase. Less is more with cannabis nutrients.

Wait until you see slight lightening of the lower leaves (the plant telling you it's hungry), then start at quarter strength. You'll usually see this around week 3-4 in FFOF.

The #1 beginner mistake is overfeeding. Cannabis is surprisingly good at finding what it needs in decent soil. When in doubt, just give plain pH'd water.
