This is confusing to me

All depends in the media your growing in.

Welcome! I start to give small amounts at about 2 weeks in pure coco.

Once your seeds have developed its first set of 3 bladed leaves is around the time to start feeding very lightly

I don't give em anything but water until out of the rapid rooters, typically 1-2 weeks old, then they go in to 50% strength lucas formula in an ebb and flow table. Madberry seems kinda sensitive to nutes, wish I'd gone a bit lighter to start.

What's the yellow spot? If you can see it

If they are started in real dirt then they have nutrients from the start so if in a soilless media they should be watered in with a low dose of something to eat. I'll use up to a ml of each of my 3-part AN per L. Never had any strain burn and with good light they do well.

I start seeds in those flimsy 9-hole seed pots or their 3" big brothers and let them grow a bit in there. Did my last batch of 24 cuttings in the 9-holes and they've been in the 3" since June or July. Moving slow around here.
