seedlings and fertilizers

[romdog11]

OK so i know most people say dont put anything on the seedlings for the first 2 weeks but i have to say that it seems like the first 10 days. i have a few seedlings that i have started in a mix of light warrior and ocean forest but they start showing signs of deficiencys after 10 days of growth. after that i give them some nutrients but has anyone else come across nutrienbt hog seedlings?

Could they be drying out? I start adding a tiny amount of nutes when the first set of real leaves set - just a few drops. 1/20 strength maybe. You could try a tad on one and see if it helps, then do the rest.

the seedlings have nutrients stored in their cotyldons, which will carry the plant its first two weeks ... if you are determined to add ferts, then do it foliarly ... spray diluted nutes on the leaves, not into the soil ... much harder to over-fertilize that way ... :smokin:
