Yo what’s up guys I got a question for you experts out there. I have 4 plants in the seedling stage. Two just sprouted and two have their first set of leaves. I am wondering if you can use the fox farm trio, liquid seaweed and bone meal for the veg stage.

You don’t need experts to find out if weed fertilizer is good for growing weed
You just need desire and a search feature

@PlayboyJ Welcome to RIU!
Bone Meal takes longer to break down and become available. It may be a better application for a outdoor run since vegging is typically longer than indoor imo. Are you planning on growing indoor or outdoor? What soil medium are you running?

Outdoor grow, my fox farm trio just came in. Should I start with big bloom?

Right now? I wouldn't add anything. They're seedlings they don't need much, and won't need much for a couple weeks. Honestly those drippers would make over watering easy to do, especially in soil.

I live in hawaii so they get constant sunlight I have the watering schedule set to 2 times a day and it waters for 1 minute. The plants seem to like it I’m taking some pictures of my seedlings let me know what you think!

If it's working for you, great! For me they would drown. I live in a "high pains desert" (Oklahoma) and if I tried to water seedlings twice a day they'd mildew and rot. I just advise caution, it's easy to over love and kill our plants.

I switched the watering cycle to once a day, I will add water if I notice the soil is dry. I also have some liquid seaweed from blue planet on the way is that good for seedlings?

Ease off the watering. Especially in Hawaii. Hawaii's freakin beautiful and awesome. Just expensive. Been there twice so far.

Toooo wet. You wanna make them roots hunt for water. If you water too frequently, they will be comfortable right where they are, and they won't "network" down below.

Agreed that they are too wet. Hold off on the water for a while and let them dry a bit or they may dampen off and die. Make sure your solo cups have lots of holes for drainage and I'd suggest watering by hand until they are bigger and growing well. About a shot glass of water is usually enough for a day or two for seedlings IME. In soil, you probably don't need any nutrients for 2 + weeks, then start with about 1/4 the recommended dose of the FF trio, working up to about 1/2. I would not use any of them on their own, use the feed chart for the ratios.
