Feeding seedlings?

I have a few seedlings coming along nicely and was wondering when I should start feeding them? What are your opinions on what type is good?

Thanks Ronnie

    Ronnie,
    Are these tropical hibiscus? If so, then according to my Hibiscus Handbook, you can feed them with a balanced soluble fertilizer at half strength once they have one or two true leaves and a good root system. They need strong light from the time they first sprout and they can be moved to a 4" pot at the same time you start fertilizing. What kind of seeds are you growing? I just planted some of mine which came from a cross I did. They have not come up yet? What method did you use to sprout them? Thanks and good luck!

    i started some hibiscus seeds from a friends plant. i soaked them first, planted, and they are sprouting. I am so excited, but what do i do now to ensure they will stay healthy? any advice would be helpful and appreciated.
