Hi ;)

I don't use castings personally, but I believe they are meant to be mixed into the initial soil mix, and it is highly dependent on what mix you're using. If you have started with a potting medium like a peat based soil or dare I say it "Miracle Grow" there will be a basic nutritional value in that which will see them through the initial sprouting phase.

Your best indicator as for everything, is to look at what the plant is telling you my friend. If it looks on the pale, lime green side, it wants more feed. If its getting deep green and you're experiencing some leaf curling at the edges or yellowing at the tips, you're overfeeding (probably hard to do with castings?)

I use coco coir as it is a loose, well oxygenated medium that dries out quickly and has no nutritional value from the word go. I then use Canna Coco A & B nutrients mixed into tap water to feed my girls, and the result is very green, very happy, fed to the max without overfeeding plants. In any case, you'll really want to start feeding them after a week in my opinion and certainly be bombarding them with nutrients by week 2 when the second set of jagged edged leaves are forming.

Can you post a picture of your seedlings? That would help with giving you some specific advice tailored to your set up :)
