start fertilizing?

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

should i post a picture of the garden?

yes please

pics are ALWAYS nice. yo but 4 days is far two early, you are going to burn the shit out of them. wait at least 10 days, id wait 14...

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 ..

transplant em into better soil, you wont do very well with shitty soil.

go buy a bag of jiffy organic clone/seed starter soil w/dolomite lime. shits amazing.

hey , dark

should i transplant them while there so young tho? i will be going to my local garden supply store this weekend so 3 more days ..
i will look for the stuff you said and also a soil ph test kit

i should hopefully have pictures of the garden tomorrow

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.

fair enough. thank ..... you.......

Here are the pictures of the garden . the one in the cup , is the 5 week old problem plant? that has been in the potting mix for about 48 hours ,

these were just some seeds i got out of some fairly high grade bush they look healthy so far do they not? this picture was just takin aftar they had just been watered i water once a day in the after noon should i be watering more then this? the soil does dry fast......
