Quick question from someone new to organic

Hi everyone! I'm preparing for my first living soil organic grow and have a question. Per the advice of a local organic grow shop I have decided to use the following for my next grow:

Soil will be a 50/50 mix of Elevation Summit Soils Base Camp and Nectar for the Gods #4. Before I decided to to go organic, I had already started my seedlings in Solo cups filled with ProMix HP and perlite, and they are just going to enter vegetation within the next week to 2 weeks so I'm going to need to start feeding them very soon. The guy I spoke with at the grow shop recommended Elevation Mountain Blossoms Vegetation fertilizer for the veg stage so I just started brewing some tea with it at 3.6mL/L (1Tbsp/gal) with the same amount of molasses. When it comes time to feed, should I dilute that at all for plants in early veg? Or will it be fine to feed it at that strength? I have only used salt based nutrients, up until this point, so I just want to be sure I don't make any stupid mistakes.

Just giving this a bump and hoping for some advice. This is my first organic grow so I want to make sure I don't start off incorrectly.

i guess you could make a tea out of it. i would mix it in the soil real good before use. Make sure an shake the shit out of it while watering so you get that powder nice an even. Some of the ingredients in the bag are chelated an most are not so it takes the activity of your soil to break down the powder an feed the plant. Your not going to hurt them with powder but still be careful.

Oh an since this is the beginning of organics for you , i would for sure buy a couple bottles of "instant food/chems" for backup.

I currently have had a tea brewing for about 24 hours. What I'm wondering is how I should dose it to the plants that are transitioning from seedling to vegetation. Should I feed the tea at full dose or should I dilute it some when they are this young? They are in ProMix HP right now so they haven't been fed anything yet.

Give them it the way you made it, then let that feed for a couple more waters....

stick to solo cups so you can pay more attention to them if ya can. If using something bigger then use a lil bit less food on first feeding.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I plan on keeping them in solo cups for at least another few weeks.

Good deal. Solos are so forgiving. i have a mother thats over a year old in a one quart pot. i tend to push the solos to the max but hey, it works.
