Nutes for the Newb!

Need to know when to start watering in my plant food?

And should I go by the directions or Is this outside of the "all purpose" category?

start with 1/4 of what they say on the bottle when it start to show it's first "true" leafs or node if you will. The big thing is not to over water, so realy try to get a decent schedual worked out and letting the soil get fairly dry as under watering is less stressful then over watering.

"True" leaves? After the oval leaves and two pointy leaves?
And do I let the soil dry during seedlings or keep them saturated?

Thanks for Your Help.

BTW even though it sounds like a sin, I will be using MG organic choice all-purpose!

Is there something better I could find local? No ordering and No hydro-stores available!

True leaves are the "pointed" ones. The ovals will die off as soon as the plant establishes new growth....MG is fine for growing but you must schedule and control watering to avoid nute burn. When using MG, plant your germed seed, water well....leave it alone until soil is dry....watering patience is the key when using MG....but it does great when controlled well....

Thanks, I'm about 1" and I have not started feeding yet, but will start today.
will this be ok?

MG organic already has plant food in it that releases when watered, hence the patience required so prevent nute burn. You shouldn't need any extra nutes for at least two weeks when the plant is much stronger....then be very careful, using 1/4 strength......
I recently used MG organic soil and used NO added nutes....got good results....to each his own.....extra nutes along with what's already in your soil is a risk.

I'm using 2 part peat moss, 1 part vermiculite, and 1 part perlite, and that all! I'm using the concentrate as my sole nutrients, thats why i'm worried that I've waited too long!

I'm also only using distilled water on them!
