short answer is at week 3-4
in my experience they are usually ready between week 2 and 4 depending on how hot your soil is and how big of a pot your started out with, a "weak" seedling soil in a small Cup might only keep enough to feed em for the fist two weeks, a hot one can maybe last 4-5 week`s, or organic super soil (if mixed correct) can last all grow, in coco who keep no nutrients I start on 1/4 strengths right away in a soil I start it on week 2-4 but agin on 1/4 strength to start out with as small seedling don't need much compared to big plants, specially in a soil that maybe still keep a bit of nuts, I rarely hit Max before flowering, specially with a short Veg time, if I Veg for longer (then 6 weeks) I might, but with a repot or two along the way to flowering I don't as the soil keep enough ..
remember the time where it need the most (N.) is in the fist two weeks of flowering and the most P. at week 4-7 of flowering, where big flowering plants in hugh pot`s demand a lot more then a small Veg plant
but in the end its all about reading your plants, need to do a few run`s to find out, also different strings have different needs, so its not that easy to say, a fast growing plant under strong light also use a lot more then a slow growing plant under a single CFL.
if your bottom leaf`s begin to lighting up and get light greenish/yellow it mostly a sure sign that its time to feed (that or your PH is of or it need Ca/mg to be able to take up the nuts)

What's your rep worth?

My rep isn't worth anything. I'm not even deserving to be on the same site as the likes of you. I'm just a former infantry Marine trying to grow my own pot, how dare I even type key strokes on a post that you've posted on. Fucking keyboard warriors man, always need to say something smart when it is so unnecessary. How about this, you post a picture of you, I'll post a picture of me, and we'll figure out if you would get smart with me face to face..You first.

The fact that trying to earn respect on a pot growing website is something you hold dearly explains a lot. Alaska, ahhh, whats the suicide rate around there?..I've served in Afghanistan, I've seen combat. Yes, I'm a "noob" on this weed site, you are a noob at life. Funny that you'd bring up PTSD, I was diagnosed. That's funny to you? We are not cut from the same cloth. I enlisted at 17 years old, and was at war at 18 years old. We are not the same. You sit in front of this box too often and you've lost your concept of life in general. You are really good at growing weed, and that's probably it. You live in Alaska. That says it all right now. You know whats in Alaska?..Nothing..All you people do is off yourselves in record numbers and do dope because your bored. Move or something, get some fresh air! You get respect on here, I get respect everywhere else. I'm 27, I've done more, and seen more, than you will for the rest of your life. Also served in blackwater. Go out and do something. Your plants get more sunlight than you do.
My seedlings did well in of. I gave 1/4 nutes about my third watering, bumped to 1/2 nutes, to whole nutes, then straight water during flip, 1st week 3/4 strength, now full strength until my last couple of weeks. One plant has a slight mag problem I may address next week. Mine worked out good. My nutes are bat and bird crap!!

Going back to OP original question, I do not recommend Fox Farm Happy Frog for the seed starting phase. Instead start with Fox Farm Light Warrior which is specifically designed for seed germination.

whew......a lot of negativity.....the only brand iv'e sprouted and vegged in is mg organic choice. i usually make my own mix however. never burns and i rarely get claw (from too much n). my advice is to make your own as well and read up on sub's organic mix. most commercial mixes still need a little lime and i like adding azomite cuz it's got lots of minerals you won't find in any commercial mix. as long as your soil is well aerated your good to go....IMHO
