1st Grow in the Aerogarden need help with nutes

This is my first time to try and grow with a hyrdroponic system. i didn't put any nutes in the water for the first week, and now i am trying to get the right amount. I have the nutes that came with the AG and i have Schultz plant food 10-15-10 that a friend gave me also some Superthrive. I just need to how much to use for the vegatative state. The plant is 12 days old.

most people ive noticed recommend to start out with 1/4 of the dose. maybe wait one more week before you start

The Schultz 10-15-10 liquid fertilizer is probably not a good choice for hydroponics. There is 8.2% urea nitrogen in the product. The general consensus is that the organism necessary to convert urea to a usable nitrogen is not present in a hydroponic system. This will leave you with 1.8% usable nitrogen which will probably not be enough.
Most any water soluable fertilizer that has nitrate nitrogen as it's main nitrogen source would be a better choice
