up date us with pics and we will inform you when . I would say when they are at least 5 inches tall @ 1/4 strength . and slowly move the nutrients stronger from there. and it depends on your pot size are you in. pics help a lot .

don't worry about moving it to the middle . its good for now. when you replant it into a bigger pot then you get it good . plants looks green and healthy . I suggest keep doing what you are doing and in 7 days repost the pic . and we will let you know if its ready for some nutrients . I assume your under cfl lighting as well . grow a lot slower then metal halide that's why I suggest posting in 7 days. the soil it self has nutrients in it even though its plain dirt . if the plant looks green and happy then its good to go. if it starts to get any yellowing or brown then its time to add fertilizer. in 7 days I may suggest 1/4 strength nutrients . keep up the good work.

Let it get to about 4 5 inches then transplant it, do not use anything miracle gro..use good soil!! Then when it makes it to about 8 inches it will show it's first small sign of def this is when you start feeding regimens..you do not feed seedlings nor do you feed a plant for the first couple Weeks anyway because the soil holds nutrients in it already

Its not all about when to feed. Its about what you are feeding. At this stage it does not hurt to add root stimulators. Vitamin B. If you build the roots (focus on them) at this stage your plant will be able to take in much more NPK when it is necessary. Resulting in larger plant yields.

Ya I had a feeling you would have miracle gro soil from the picture...ditch it both products I mentioned are only about 35 bucks for nutes and I suggest you spend the same price on a bag of roots organic as you would miracle gro soil..

Sorry wrong thread guess I hadn't mentioned alternatives here..I suggest picking up either the general organics go box or similar product for organic and technaflora recipe for success for chemical nutes..full run easy instructions in either box
