Firstly, how can I tell if my seeds are healthy enough to grow. Should they be hard/soft green/dark green etc?

I have read that I should not introduce fertilizer when planting seeds. Is planting the seed in a nutrient rich soil all I need to do to in order for it to grow? Should light be introduced only after it was grown above the soil?

How long after it was sprouted should I introduce fertilizer?
I was thinking of using something like with 25 percent nitrogen, any suggestions? What is the ratio of fertilizer:Soil?
