I wouldn't wait a whole 30 days, they will start to die from nit def at that point (least they will with Miracle Gro seed starter)

Make sure your PH isn't too high as well, or they won't properly absorb the nutes you do give them. I'm not sure, but you might need to use something besides bat guano - I'd check if your not sure. There are a lot of weird nutes like mag, iron, zinc, calcium, boron, ect. that plants need - not sure if bat guano has them all or not.

What is a good nute with trace elements? I tried to google it, but I'm not getting a good results. The plant is growing strang as of no. I guess I'm just gonna wait another week or two. Only ten days old with 5 nodes, I think that's pretty good compared to other pics I have seen. But if ne one could help me out with sum trace elemnt info that would be great also. Thanks again you 2
 
i like to use earth juice, which is fine for veggie stage, and the guano is good to add to the soil, try to mix some vermiculite and perlite into the soil too as this will increase oxygen flow and help retain moisture in the soil. make sure you have good drainage in the bucket or whatever your planted in, if not you might develop build up of excess of nutes, and check your P.H. LV's on the runoff
