How much of what nutrients do I use for my Seedling stage?

Ok, so I have some promising prospects that I transplanted into a germination station. The 2 green leaves are showing but there's no nutrients in the water yet. I just wanna be sure what to use and how much. I keep reading 200-500 PPM but not of what nutrients to use. I'm not asking for what brand just what nutrients to use. I have general hydroponics 3 basic nutrients. Micro, Gro, and Bloom. I just need to know the correct mixture of the 2 or 3 that needs to be in the solution for my seedlings and how much of each.
 
Don't follow the directions on the bottle you'll kill your babies more often than not. Hard to say knowing your medium etc but first advice- get a ppm meter and make sure you set the tds factor for your nute mix eg i use dutch master advance that uses a .5 tds factor but my ecopen comes with a setting of .71 from factory. Fixing this dropped my ppm reading a full 100 points so it's worth checking. I use rain water with a ppm of 40 and add canna rhizotonic at the 4ml per litre rate first, then equal small amounts of dutch master a+b until i read about 150 ppm above your base ppm, 40 in my case, and feed gently from week 2, my first feed is only one cup straight onto the rockwool cube i germinated in. In my case i use coco, which needs to be rinsed before use, never use straight water always use a tiny amount of a+b usually 100ppm including the base amount. Mj seeds should be fine off tap water for the first week, i like to use it due to the chlorine. But get a ppm meter! It's all guess work until then and remember to start on the low side of the ppm scale and work up, ph after adding all nutrients to about 5.5-6
 
Thanks! I have a trimeter, but it already has problems. Like the ph won't calibrate to the ph 4 but it will for the 7. And idk if I trust the ppm reading. I need to recalibrate it again and see wassup. Thanks again!
 
This is true, however the range of the food in the first leaves varies, i've seen them need food at 7 days and 23, depends on what goes on under the soil, stress etc, just watch em, start them slow and they'll let you know
