when does plants wants a nice amount of nitrogen.....seedling stage?

i heard plants wants nitrogen around the seedling stage then they say fox farm big bloom should be used in seedling stage but thats low in nitrogen compared to (P) and (k)..im not planning to feed till my plant is atleast 1 month old..so is big bloom good to use at first...thats what i got

do NOT use foxfarm big bloom for the seedling stage, you'll probably kill it. get something like botanicare pure blend pro GROW. It has a good NPK ratio. Use it at half or quarter strength while your plant is small, and then increase over time.

The FarmFox schedule suggests the use of Big Bloom alone during the first 2 weeks for new seedlings, during the third week Grow Big is added (using both BB&GB for 2 weeks), and then just Grow Big...Unless you know your seedlings can handle a full dose of nutes I would start at 1/4 to 1/2 strength.

Seedlings start needing weak nutrients when the 3-bladed leaves start growing in. A ratio near 5-4-3 should work well, used at half concentration for the young ones. They should be moved up to full strength around two sets of leaves later.
