Hi all , new to growing and enjoying it , my question is I have germed seeds and it's been 3 weeks and the round leaves I see are turning yellow , so i am taking this as a sign that i am close to giving them nutes for veg stage.

Is this a average time from srpout to veg? Regards jj's

How many internodes do you have? Meaning, how many "sets" of serrated ("real") leaves do your seedlings have? If you have at least 4 pairs (8 serrated leafs total) you can consider yourself in veg.

I may be confused.

From sprout to veg? Seems to me that once the seed sprouts it basically starts vegging. Now from sprout to flower, that would be up to the grower. Most growers look for the plant to have 4 nodes. Others wait a bit more until the nodes start alternating before flowering.

I personally flower at three weeks and transplant when I know the plant is female. Once this is done, then I start the flowering nutes. I don't nute before then, ever.

We have 2 plants on one we can see the third and fourth internode starting and on the second one we can see two.

The round leaves turning yellow is indeed a sign that is time to start adding nutes. The coyts provide nourishment during the seedling stage, so when that reserve is gone, you need to start providing the nourishment.

You can add sooner without any ill effects though, as Yes4215 said. Just make sure that you use a weak solution so you don't burn them. I personally wait for those coyts to turn.

There's a period between sprout and veg where the plant is known as a seedling and not really mature enough to be considered "in veg." To me it seems like the plant stalls for a bit, and then begins growing leaves rapidly, this is when I consider it to be really in veg. Unless I've grown that strain before and know exactly how it will react, I hold off on nutes and intense light until 3-4 internodes are up.

If you're growing in soil you probably won't need to nute during veg. In coco and hydro, the cotyledons begin yellowing soon after sprouting.
