I try to bottom feed all the young plants and use a variety of things and they all seem to work. I use standard Miracle Grow diluted to about 1/4 strength early on and any of the Urban Farms fertilizers diluted the same. I prefer the Miracle Grow with the just emerged seedlings and will switch sometimes to one of the Urban Farms products once the plants are a bit larger or ready to be potted up into standard potting soil.
