Hi, its been a few weeks since my baby's broke the surface from seed, I've fed them twice with npk 20:20:20, question is-how often do i need to feed them at this stage?

Thanks to all in advance.

Ah yeah...don't feed them at all till the cotyledons start to wilt...you're feeding to early

EDIT: Cotyledons = food/energy for the plant till about the 3rd week or later...she will tell you when to feed her when her bottom leaves start to turn yellow...good luck

Ditto the previous post.
Have you considered telling us how you're growing & specifics so we can perhaps get you some useful information/advice ?
Organic, cocoa, hydro etc..........
Pics would help immensely.

I start when I see a slight yellow. I use botanicare nutrients and I use full strength without problems.

Too early to feed yet, you will burn it out......relax, this takes time and patience

If it's been 'a few weeks' surely they are not babies anymore?

By the fifth week I would be feeding them every watering at around 700-800 ppm unless they were in nutrient rich soil.
