This is my first grow and I had a quick question about nutrients. I have SH Nutrients and I am not quite sure when I should be adding the nutrients to my reservoir. I currently have 3 plants, they have been in the tank for 7 days and taking a rounded date they have been Vegging for 5 days now. When would be a good time to start introducing the nutrients?

Immediately, in hydro this is the only way your plant gets food.

Oh really? Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate the answer, for some reason I thought that you could hold of a week or two because apparently the cotyledons have nutrients they can live of? They have been growing pretty slow, maybe it's time to drain the res and re-fill with nutrients.

If they have roots they are ready to eat.

Thanks for the reply oldman60. Going to drain the res completely and refill with 1/4 Strength SH Nutrients. Appreciate the responses guys!
I would top feed the nutrients until the root mass is great inside the res. Depending on how big your res is youll be wasting alot of nutes. If the roots are atleast 2inches or more in the res then its fine to add the nutes.
