Once ur seedlings are 2-3 weeks old, then you can start to fert them without too much worry.

Same with clones.....rooting hormone and water in the beginning....then fert's.

If you are putting babies into that soil..... keep some "clean" soil nearby and make sure the seedling has about a baseball size of that clean soil around it....then it can drift into the fert's.

Thanks I have some regular soil to start out with so that will work. :)

That's going to be a mighty attractive soil to animals..... :wink: It smells like food to them.
When I grow in containers...I put the blood meal in the bottom third of the pot. On the surface is a temptation.

Yeah the cats were kinda sniffing around when I was mixing it. But now it's in the pots they leave it alone.

You also need some kelp meal and dolomite lime. Got plenty of N and P, but little K and nothing to buffer pH.
