@PlayboyJ Welcome to RIU! :mrgreen:
Bone Meal takes longer to break down and become available. It may be a better application for a outdoor run since vegging is typically longer than indoor imo. Are you planning on growing indoor or outdoor? What soil medium are you running?

Right now? I wouldn't add anything. They're seedlings they don't need much, and won't need much for a couple weeks. Honestly those drippers would make over watering easy to do, especially in soil.

If it's working for you, great! For me they would drown. I live in a "high pains desert" (Oklahoma) and if I tried to water seedlings twice a day they'd mildew and rot. I just advise caution, it's easy to over love and kill our plants.

I switched the watering cycle to once a day, I will add water if I notice the soil is dry. I also have some liquid seaweed from blue planet on the way is that good for seedlings?

Toooo wet. You wanna make them roots hunt for water. If you water too frequently, they will be comfortable right where they are, and they won't "network" down below.

Agreed that they are too wet. Hold off on the water for a while and let them dry a bit or they may dampen off and die. Make sure your solo cups have lots of holes for drainage and I'd suggest watering by hand until they are bigger and growing well. About a shot glass of water is usually enough for a day or two for seedlings IME. In soil, you probably don't need any nutrients for 2 + weeks, then start with about 1/4 the recommended dose of the FF trio, working up to about 1/2. I would not use any of them on their own, use the feed chart for the ratios.
