Give nutes to seedlings?

I run Coco.... enough said there.
Coco has no nutrients so I must feed from day 1 or they will die off.
Soil is a whole other animal.

if I still had the pictures I could show you some horrible plants that were stunted from feeding early ( <2 weeks).
Its a bad idea and not needed at all unless in Coco or some kind of hydro setup.
Quit giving misinformation to a newbie.

I run autos and don't feed anything for 5-6 weeks. Ya I'm in dirt and using FFOF.

Like the guys in top soil and his seedlings are growing slow, id be tempted to transplant into somthing with better drainage, aeration and possibly a little more sterile with less weed seeds in it.

Fertilize or not but one light feed on one plant will soon answer that question and i hardly think its going to keel over and pop its clogs.

Ive tried one plant in topsoil before and indoors that was tricky as hell, seedlings struggled to root and i never had control of ferts in somthing that muddy and compact. Im not sure if many here grow in topsoil, possibly it isnt that hard and hopefully the op mistook some good composted soil for topsoil.

Ok so I have 3 plants in veg. About 6-7 days into veg. I don't know if it's just me or if I feel there growing slow? Anyways I have them in top soil. I know there not much nutrients in top soil. But I felt it would be good until they are transplanted. Should I give them nutes now or do you think they'll be okay another week or two until I transplant them into fox farm ocean soil.

Those little round leaves are called cotyledons and are what feed the seedling. They will feed until they yellow. Then the top soil shoud have some nutrient value. Black soil usually does.

They are also building a root system. The rest will catch up.

What kind of light and how close is it to the plants?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will not give them any nutes. I plan on transplanting them soon into fox farm soil which will have nutes for them. I'm usuing 4 t5 lights about a 1 or 1 1/2 feet away on 24 hour light. I moved it away a little bit to see if there was any reaction from them.

A foot and half is good. You can probably get them closer. I use 8 4ft bulbs. I start with 4 bulbs on and go to 8 pretty quick.

Its normal for seedlings to be a little slow they are building roots. More blue spectrum will make them shorter and tighter nodes.

Your plants look perfectly fine.

Just get a better soil or add plenty of perlite to what you got before you transplant.

Don't transplant till youre happy with ur root zone development then transplant(into final pot) a week or 2 b4 u flip to flowering so they can fill out a bit more but they'll still show massive growth the first few weeks of flowering b4 the buds start stacking..I even feed veg nutes up till week 3 then half n half then flowering n Pk @ week 6-7 (alot feed it earlier but most the bud mass n growth occur from week 5 on).

Like i said i dont recognise your abilities till i see your seedlings and getting all worked up and abusive isnt cool.

It could be the 24 hour constant light keeping them so short, hopefully they will take off after transplanting to fox farms soil. Try to avoid top soils, generally to muddy and more clay, silt and loam than organic material and aeration like fox farms. Generally its much harder for a plant to root out a pot of top soil and maybe why is taking its time.
