I myself usually dont use any ferts at a seedling young age, I go by what the plant looks like, sometimes I might give it a really light water of fish and seaweed at the most, but if you had a soil test done before your plants went into the ground and have your soil up to par, you should have everything your seedling needs ahead of time for a while.
But most I ever run into at the beginning is yellowish leaves sometimes because of colder soil temps.(some times growers will add a light dose of calcium nitrate for that if they are really yellow)

Same thing goes for PEST/FUNG, if the plants dont look like they need anything I will try to hold off as long as I can before putting anything on the young seedlings leaves for as long as I can.

You can see the mycor on the soil if it is working it forms a white crust.

I think I,ve read it somewhere, also I see the white crust on the dirt near the root zone of my plants.
