I wouldn't feed it anything but root stimulator until you get a few sets of leaves. If you aren't sure. Go get a product called Canna Start. Feed it with that until you have a little plant going (probably 2 weeks). Then switch to your vegging nutrient and gradually bring up your concentration. Make sure you use CaMg if you are using RO'd water. Even if you aren't using RO'd water, you may want to use some CaMg if you stay in coco..

You should mix a bag of earthworm castings with your coco brick before u germinate. That will give the seedlings enough food for a good start. Coco doesn't have nutrients, seedlings still need nutrients to grow. Doing this with your clones as well will get you off to a great start you will notice the difference.

Not sure about coco but I always think the same way the start of every new grow. It takes a good 3-4 weeks to get some good growth going. Esp the first 2 weeks it seems as though they aren't growing.
Something I read here.
"Roots before shoots"

Happy growing

Seeds typically take longer than clones. Your babies put all their energy into developing roots at first, and really don't need any food for at least a couple weeks. After a week or so, when they get their "legs", they will start to grow upwards. Have fun!
