To be honest, I've never used a fertilizer I didn't dissolve in water first, mainly for the fear of burning due to uneven distribution of the nutrients. One thing I do know, is follow the instructions but use at 1/4 strength the first time. Slowly work your way up. (Some ppl feed every time they water, others feed every other time-- thats up to you) Just make sure you take it slow-- better to introduce a little slower then to over-fert an burn your plant.

Good luck.

thanks toker appreciate the help.

that plant sounds waaay too big to be stuck in a cup still...

just my 2 cents

That's pretty young to be feeding it ferts... At that age the soil should have enough available nutes in it for the plant. When plants are that young it is very easy to over fert. I'd hold off unless you are seeing signs of nute deficiancy.

And I agree, you should transplant to a larger container.

transplant! my advise is to mix your own soil, and give the soil nutrients to be time activated
