When to introduce nutrients?

Would now be the correct time to start adding nutrients to the medium? Just don't want to introduce them too early to avoid burning the plant.

What type of soil do you have? It likely has nutrients for a bit as roots colonize new areas of pot. Don't be so eager to fertilize. It's a small portion of the whole equation. plus, if roots don't exist there, you fertizilize 3-4 times before that point now the roots hit overfertilzied soil and bad things happen. Wait for those cotyledons to show a hint of yellow. Start diluted in soil. Slowly build up. Observe and react to plant as you go. It dictates pace. Keep track of when you irrigate and when you irrigate with nutes for future reference when issues inevitably crop up.

Give it another week once your true leafs are developed. Should be around 14 days from sprout give or take . Me personally I did feed the micro nutrient in my coco with molasses (unsulfur) with a form of kelp .

You can start now. I would just dilute your nutrients to 1/4 strength to start and then slowly increase to 100%.
