My plants are only 4 days old and they're good so far, but i want to get them some food, due to a tight budget i'd like to know what are some of the must have macroelements i should get them.. i've searched a lot online and got a general idea but i'd like to ask also if there's a beginner route that doesn't involve changing ratios and all that since this is my first grow ever.. thank you in advance!

i'm using soil i bought it awhile ago for my cactus.. it's kind of specifically for cactus but it's loose dark texture and so far the seedlings look healthy. im gonna check for soil with perlite soon, when i transplant to another pot would it shock the plant or hurt it if it's a new soil ? and i dont know what you meant by do i wanna do organic ? i can post a pic of the plant if that helps

organic, you feed the soil organic material and the soil feeds the plant
synthetic nutes are readily available and the medium is just used to hold the plant up(sort of)
I saw your other thread on that soil, it looks like the plants like it, so I would use it, just figure out which way you're going to go.
and that soil has enough nutes for about 3 months, so don't add anything yet

oh so if they're off to a good start with this soil i can just continue using it then ? and the nutes well i found a store that sells some. i asked this morning if they have macronutes like N-Ca-Mg-K etc and they said they have it in a liquid form so you could this is literally my only option but im on a tight budget so i can't get them all, do u recommend any that are must haves ?

Mega Crop NPK = 9N - 6P - 17K Divided by 2 = NPK 4.5 - 3 - 8.5. Similar to Tomatorite ratio
Tomatorite NPK 4 - 3 - 8.
So look out for that sort of ratio on any nutrients you are looking at.
