feeding is easy as pie, although many people like to make it more complicated than it is. The main nutrients a plant needs are n, or nitrogen, p, or phosphorus, and k, or potassium. Nitrogen is for healthy stem and leaf growth, phosphorus is for root and flower development, and potassium is to help fight disease and improves the overall health of the plant. A lot of people differ on the exact ratio of n, p and k to feed your plants at different stages in their development, but a good rule of thumb is to remember that during the sprout stage, you should really lay off giving them any nutrients. Once the sprout enters vegetative growth like your plants are in right now, you should use a nutrient solution with a higher amount of nitrogen than p and k, although the p and k are still very important to your plants development. I would use a nutrient solution with a 20 nitrogen, 10 phosphorus, and 10 potassium ratio. this 20-10-10 ratio with ensure your plant starts to develop healthy and strong upper growth. Once you decide to flower your plants (I hope you wait at least until its 12 inches) you should change to a 10-20-10 ratio. Now, keep in mind there are many different ratios that will work for your plants, just remember that plants need higher n while in vegetative growth and higher p while fruiting. You will also need trace minerals which are minerals like copper, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, calcium etc, with the most important being magnesium in my opinion. The best way to deliver this is to mix in a tablespoon for every gallon of water. This is all you need to know about feeding your plants. A couple things to remember are that you need to keep your ph level in your soil at a neutral level, which is a 7.0. To achieve this you can buy ph up and down to level your ph. This is important because if your ph is too high it will turn your nutrients into salts that are toxic to your plants and if you let it get bad enough it will kill them. Although you can fix this problem with flushing, which is basically pouring tons of water into your plants soil until you have eliminated all the salts, this can be very harmful to the plant. Another very important thing to remember is to only feed your plants HALF OR LESS of the amount of nutrients that is recommended on the container it came with. This is because marijuana plants are very sensitive and can get nutrient burn very easily. You can point out nutrient burn when the edges of your leaves are turning yellow. Good luck.
