REMBER IT IS JUST A THEROY I HAVE YET TO TEST
Ok well first off if someone already knows this answer please let me know so I am not wasting my time
So ill start now, from what I have noticed in my garden (tomatoes, watermelons, ect ) is that when I start a seed off in a small nursery pot (the dirt I use has almost no fertilizer because seedlings have stored nutrients in their first set of leafs) it grow into a fine young seedling. My garden is very potent with fertilizers and all my plants love it. When I transplant the seedling into my garden within 2-3 day most of the seedlings from the nursery pots have a bad case fertilizer burn. Now, I know you are all thinking well of course thats going to happen. Now sometimes I just plant seeds right into my, some would say over fertilized garden and, the seedlings sprout and grow very fast with no signs of fertilizer burn. I got down to thinking that this happens because when the seeds first crack open and the baby root comes out it just adapts to the high levels of fertilizer. For all the seed knows that is what the worlds dirt is made of so, it just gets use to it. Now I am not saying you could plant a seed directly into a pot of fertilizer but, that if you plant a seed into already highly fertilized soil that the plant will become more efficient and, be able to use more of that expensive fertilizer (like tiger bloom ect). This could possibly make giving a double dose of fertilizer per (feed) watering promising.
I hope to actually test this and keep a log; I will be using the botanist favorite choice the pea plant (fast growing and, show a lot of change when the variables change)
