First let me say, I'm a first time grower....I have 7 seedlings in various grow stages from just germinated to ~4in. tall. Some were planted 3 weeks ago, some 1 week ago (not pre-germinated). I used a potting mix of ~70% topsoil and 30% perlite. The perlite I put in my potting mix has fertilizer in it: Miracle-gro perlite, enriched with MG plant food (its the only perlite they had). The nutrient analysis says N:0.04%, P:0.01%, K0.06% (I'm assuming this means its a 4-1-6 fertilizer??). I have been holding off on fertilizer because I am afraid to overdue it. Can anyone give me some advice on how to fertilize now. I am trying to keep things simple, so I would like to use a fertilizer that I just mix up in the water (4 seedlings are in a 3 gallon pot, 3 are in small biodegradable pots that will eventually be placed in a 3 gallon pot; I have more plants than I will end up keeping because I don't know who is male and who is female yet.). Please help?!
