I would wait until there is at least 3 nodes on the plant.

12 days from seed or 12days since youve received clone.....if from seed i start at 1/4 strength around 3-4 weeks and from clone i start at 1/4 strength once its taken root....usually about 3-4 days after transplanting....you want a simple nitrigen rich fert for your veg stage and a high phosphurus fert for bloom stage.....

She's looking good so far. When to add nutes depends a lot on what's already in your soil. If it has any time release fertilizer already mixed in, you may not need to add anything for quite a while.
I'd watch for any signs of yellowing on your lower leaves. When you see that, you probably need to start feeding. Start slow with young plants, maybe 1/4 of whatever the bottle says.
I burned the shit out of my first crop when they were young, and it took a while to recover. My next crop I did the opposite, no nutes for about 5 weeks. I was so busy worrying about my flowering plants that I just didn't realize my vegging plants had stopped growing and the leaves were yellowing.
I gave them a little 5-1-1 fish emulsion and they perked right back up.

It sounds like its time to start feeding them. I'd start with some high N nutes, half strength at first, until you see how the plant reacts. The yellow leaves probably won't turn green again, but overall she looks healthy.
