Feeding seedlings

When should I fertilize my seedlings?
什麼時候該開始施肥呢##CONTINUE##

Mixes composed of perlite, vermiculite, and rockwool and other inert media should be treated with a mild application, 300-400ppm, of fertilizer prior to seed introduction to provide available nutrients and buffer the pH. Adding Hormex, Superthrive or some other auxin/vitamin based supplement will accelerate early plant development.
It is not beneficial to apply additional fertilizer to seedlings in rockwool or other inert media until the first set of true leaves appear, at which point a 1/4 to 1/2 strength application is made. Excessively rich organic soil mixes are best avoided until the tender, young plants are well established. As such it is possible to feed young seedlings in soil with a 1/4 to 1/2 strength solution of fetiliser after two to three weeks or after the first set of true leaves appear but only if the soil is not super hot in terms of nutrients.
在台灣應該是用一般現成的培養土或靚土
這些現成的培養土裡都己經有含養分了
所以剛開始的前2~3週基本上都不用施肥
過了再施肥即可
