Hello. Within the seed is enough energy to get the seedling up to the first true leaves. You are growing in soil. the plant is small and will take some energy from the soil. So you can wait till the 2nd pair of leaves are out and then give a half strength dose of food. I know you just want them to grow, but they are on slow speed till about the forth set of leaves. Nothing but water for a little while please. Good Luck. Chuck.
