When you see roots hanging out the bottom of the pots, you can start to turn the nutes up. You are doing the right thing by allowing them to sit and grow roots before adding ferts.

'When they have roots they can handle nutes'

Bring the nutrient level up incrementally. Bring the nutes up to 350 ppm once you see they all have roots. In about three days they will start to take off. When they start to branch out, bring the nutes up to 500 ppm for three days then step it up to 700 or 800 over the next week.

From your pic I would start right now.

Tbh they are pretty small for a week old, i'd wait another week.

Im with Illegal on this one if you want to see it grow faster/eating nutes id start now, but very slowly maybe .5 tsp per gallon to see if the plants roots will take em on. I don't see the harm.
