I have a few seeds that i have started in vermaculite. i have only gave them water when i planted them and when the top of medium is dry. they are about 1 inch tall and seem to be doing good, but when should i start the nutrients? I am using flora series grow, micro, bloom. when i mix them i was going to mix 1/4 of a tsp per gal for the seedlings but does anyone have any other suggestions on the amount i should mix? i have heard of other methods for veg but nothing in writing......anyone??

your doing just fine just keep it water only until they're at least 3 weeks old or you might burn the roots, dont be alarmed if the lower leaves start to yellow a bit as you approach the 3 week mark. yea 1/4 of a tsp is the exact amount for indoor plants remember to use a 20-20-20 formula for vegging, not bloom feed i use miracle gro Nursery Select all purpose formula. but dot ever use miracle gro soil cause you cant leach it.
but you can use the bloom feed when the flowering period starts
Good Luck!!

Thanks for the info! i also have another question tho....you said use a 20 20 20 mix for veg. will the 321 method not work with the flora nutrients?
