I was just wondering if most people wait the 2 weeks before feeding a seedling with an organic tea?

The tea would Bat Guano high in Nitrogen.Maybe some worm castings.

If the soil you are growing in has NPK in it - Wait...
.
If the soil you are using has very little or no NPK in it - feed a very weak tea to avoid stressing the plants. I don't know the NPK of your Bat Guano - but since most High N Bat Guanos are in the 6 to 10 range on NPK - I'd advise using just 1 tablespoon of guano to a gallon of water. Give each plant, 8 to 16 ounces of this tea. Take the left over crud from making the tea and divide it evenly between your plants.
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real...Organic...

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider very little?

HowardWCampbell.... I consider an NPK of 3-3-3 or under to be very little. You would get these kind of numbers using compost, peat moss, worm casting & perlite - as your only components in a soil mix.

Hope that clears things up....
