Well ive just started some plants in some quite sandy soil i have about 13 they are about 4 days old im wondering because of the lack of soil nutrients i should start using a organic fertilizer on them such as chicken shit pellets that i have? also i should tell you that i have some potting mix should i maybe trans plant all the seedlings into the potting mix? im pretty sure it says on the bag not suited for seedlings tho?

cheers in advance

Okay I will take your advice and wait a few more weeks .. , but now i have a picture of another plant that is about 4 - 5 weeks old as you can see there i something wrong with it? i have just transplanted it into this cup TODAY that is filled with putting mix it says on the bag ( enough nutrients for 3 or 4 weeks . as you can see the bottom leaves have just died and it just hasn't grown really! the weather has been fairly good we are now 8 days into spring the days have been around 20 - 24 c & morning around 3 - 6 celcius ( i know its maybe a bit cold for them )

but with in the next few days its meant to get up to 30c , and the mornings will be around 10c from then on i think ..

just be careful and it'll be fine. their root systems should not be very large or spread out so it should be pretty easy to get a spade and dig it up w/o damaging the roots. ive done it b4 and it never shocked or hurt em in any way shape or form.
