Not sure if this belongs in this category but I started some pepper seedlings in a mix of organic seed starting mixture. I asked the company if they add any nutrients to this and they said very little and I could begin feeding immediately. What can I feed them with without burning them? I want to give them something right away, as they look a little on the thin side, although most of them just sprout two days ago.

i use a little fish & seaweed fert for my tomatoseedlings with good result so it should be the same with your pepper.

Keep in mind peppers are slow to get going. They need heat as much as anything. You might try one of the slow release ferts like Osmocote.

gotta love that salty m-grow. if you research pepper plants you would find out all about what this plant type likes and dislikes.
