when to add nutes for certain soil..?

[choking_victim]

Hello there once again. Back again for another grow. This time I'm trying it in soil.
my last hydro gro was an excellent success besides some ballast problems wich are totally fixed now. Now, I'm ready to try and go organic with foxfarms ocean forrest.

my situation and question:
I'm starting by peat pellets for the seedlings then transfering them into the soil after rooted into the pellets.
When I had bought the soil, The lady at the grow store told me if I was growing from seed, I shouldn't have to add any nutes for around 3 weeks, since I had chosen the ocean forrest.
I know all plants are different, but no nutes for 3 weeks sounds a bit too much.
any advice would help, and thanks again guys.

Sounds about right to me. Seedlings don't need a hell of a lot for the first couple of weeks.

Runby said it. Nothing for the first 2-3 weeks and then nutes at 1/4 strength seems to work very well. Take care and be safe.

okay. that's sounds great. I was going to almost auto-flower them when they were about 6-8 in. tall. won't they be inbetween 6-8 within those few weeks? and if so, would I just automatically start them on blooming product instead of nitrogen rich product?

thanks again for everything guys.
