seedstarter w/o fertilizer
It was my understanding that the seed has all it needs as far as nutrition so adding fertilizer would be counterproductive. I use Hoffman's seedstarter that does not have fertilizer. When I get the first true leaves I transplant the soil blocks and use a potting mix that has fertilizer.
When I initially used a small amount of fertilizer in the seedstarter I got explosive growth. Huge leggy things that grew way too fast. Do other people have the same experience? Lored
