Geez, I should know this but now I have a zillion things germinated and I'm not sure what to feed them. (None are named Audrey...) A lot of sites say nothing until they get true leaves but my starter mix has no nutrients so I'm wondering. I know it's generally a weak fertilizer but not sure what. I have tiny coleus, tomatoes, bacopa, zinnias, marigolds, portulaca, alyssum, nicotiana, salpiglossis, and obvious mental illness. Nothing has 2 true leaves yet but the tomatoes look like they're trying. I got some Hyponex and have Peters - they are quite different. Everything we looked at had a different forumulation. |

I use a 10-10-10 fertilizer watered down to half strength, normally, but I'm trying out a new thing this year -- Kricket Krap tea! :)

Hmm, I'm afraid to ask, lol. I was reading and I do think I need to put something weak on them. Thanks. I have fish fertilizer but I don't think it's balanced and it also smells like sh . I have 3 or 4 other ones though. |

There is compost tea. Add some of your compost to the watering can and let it sit in the sun for a day. Stir it up the next morning and water with it, before it heats up. A slightly muddy water is the aim. What ever you do use, make it really weak so the plant works on making roots. |
