| I am a bit of a newbie and I've started a lot from seed this year. So far it all looks good, but I am curious - at what point do I need to fertilize them? After hardening off and transplanting them or when they are still in those tiny cells?
Thanks so much! -Chris |

| I start fertilizing mine when they go into four inch containers. I mix a half teaspoon of timed release into the soil as I pot them up. I use 18-6-12 with minors. Al |

| I always fertilize after 4-6 true leaves develop. A regular slow release or a weak Miracle Gro starter fertilizer or even an 8-16-24 to prevent shock. |
