I have 2 auto seedlings going right now..they are about 12 days old and I’ve just fed them their first feed . I am wondering whether they look ok and any tips with feeding schedules would be appreciated. They are in canna coco mixed w perlite. Using green planets duel fuel program . Really confused about when to feed seedlings as some people say not for the first week because they carry enough nutrients in their leaves and nutes will burn young seedlings .... but outhers say to give nutes straight away..here’s some pics of the 2 12 day old autoflowers and also a pic of a 5 day old one... I’ve stated the 5 day old one in a smaller well draining pot for now .

I start in smaller pots than you and feed daily to run off starting around day 3 from sprout.
Yours are quite small for 12 days old.........probably due to starting in large pots........makes it difficult to maintain the proper moisture level.
These are 10 days from sprout and fed every day to run off for a comparison.

I feed mine on day 6 in coco loco. Start small and build up. They will be perfect. But definitely don't start with a full dose. Your ppm and ph should be on point doing this.

I moisten my coco with a mild bloom solution, then I place the rapid rooter in the small pot with coco right after it sprouts. I start my daily feeding around day 3 from sprout.

Can you check out the green planet duel fuel program and let me know what you think of the recommended dosages ..I just gave them a feed yesterday at the recommend dosage on the website and they look fine ..growing bit faster now ....but I’m really unsure if I should keep going since everyone’s says nutes r too hot at the recommend dose..

It's usually too strong if you start the "full dose" at the wrong time. If your ppm is accurate, then ph the water, you'll find your using less than the "recommended " dose with much more effective results. The companies want you to use more to buy more. Huge difference in volume used when you go by ppm. Where your at now id recommended starting with 250 ppm. Ph 5.8-6.2. You'll find there's a starting point and judging by the growth of lack of, you'll know to keep it there and build, or add a little more. I always felt its best to go at it yourself so your accustomed to visually seeing the effects. Just make a base line and go brother
