Seedling feeding question

Just transferred 6 seedlings that are ten days old. They were rooted in Oasis and all have multiple roots coming out of the bottom. They are now in 4 inch pots with hydroton in my ebb and flow. My nutes will be CANNA aqua and the Cannazyme also. Is it too early to start like a 250 ppm feeding at ten days after it showed leaves besides the set of cotyledons ?

Ive got an Ebb Flow going myself...started from seeds and sprouted on 4/20 ( haha ) I ran them with just R/O water for the first 2 weeks and then changed out my resi water and brought the ppm up to around 400 ran that again for another 2 weeks then changed my water again and then brought the ppm up to around 800 and so far its worked for me....Im using GH Flora Series along with some Revive, (was having some heat issues) to correct the stress....check out my thread.... This is my first indoor grow so probably not the best advice but its worked for me so far

Some people wait until the cotyldon leaves turn yellow. Thats your first sign that the baby has used up all of it's nutes it was born with. I myself wait about 3 weeks, unless yellowing on cotyldon leaves appear.
The baby/seedling stage ends and the veg stage starts when you see rapid growth. Giving them nutes in seedling stage is not always best.

thanks for the answer brother I will wait for some yellow baby leaves.

do you wait for a specific time to start feeding in hydro, after the roots show on clones or just start when taken out of the humidity dome and put into the veg table

I never did a hydro. But when I clone I always wait for roots, then transplant into pot giving them 6 hrs dark, then I wait about a week to start nutes. I only clone when plant is mature too.
