read the directions, follow them for best results. they dont suggest feeding pk to seedlings is my guess?
maybe buy a quality organic nutrient supply and follow those directions. Often they're staged for different growth periods.
quality compost will have plenty of nutrients to carry on life of a seedling, maybe too much even.

pk 13/14 is used for only a week about 3 weeks before the end of flower. You could in theory use very low dose but you wouldn't be providing the plant with any N or micros. Sounds like a dangerous path to walk. Asking for problems.

Seedling are pretty delicate, don't give them anything unless they show signs of needing it. You should be good with your compost.
Less is often more.

Well If your growing in coco coir then use the a+b if the seedlings look like they are light in colour. Just use half the recommended dose. Post some pics and we can say if they need a feed.

Ah they look pretty health. You see those Cotyledon leaves, the little baby bottom ones, they are the food for the seedling. They go yellow as they are doing, then the plant needs feeding. If your growing in coco then that's the time to start introducing nutrients.
If you not in coco coir and your in compost or soil then there will be nutrients in there, there are no nutrients in coco coir.
Like I say, watch them, if the real leaves start to pale off then a light dose of veg nutrients. No PK boosters, no flower boosters.

You should avoid clear containers for plants. You could wrap them with something light proof. I wouldn't worry too much, they are looking well.

Just remember at this stage its easy to over do feeding so play it safe, less is more, gradually increase nutrients.

Your doing well.

My autos just got PH adjusted water for first week or so, then moved them on to 1/8th of the doseage of Canna A+B and then when they show signs of needing more will be 1/4 and then 1/2 and so on you get the idea..... then when they show signs of pre flowering they will also be getting PK 13/14 Bloom. Hope this helps :D

Yeah i feel you bro haha! in that case use your canna a&b, boost whatever else you decide to use in veg, then when your ready to switch them 12/12 start with your pk13/14 bloom as well as your a&b
