Default Fertilizing recently separated pups

How long does everyone usually wait after separating pups to fertilize them?

And should the fertilization schedule for the parent plant be adjusted?

Right after they put out the first leaf they’re okay to handle some fertilizer in my opinion. Unless something abnormal is going on that first leaf after transplanting that’s the beginning of a lot of fast growth

Personal preference......

Many inexperienced growers will want to FEED THE PLANT REAL GOOD TO MAKE IT GROW.....but the opposite happens and the roots die because of fert shock.

Go slow till your plant adjusts.....

The parent plant is good to go with the regular fert schedule

Lets you plants adjust, get a couple new leaves, and then go for it.
