I planted 3 A.G.s out 3 days ago. They have one small true leaf(about 2" across). Is it too early to start a soil drench using Neptune's Harvest fish and seaweed solution?
If so, when do you guys usually start soil drenches and foliar feeding? I should add, that my planting holes aren't super enriched nutrient pits, like some make. They are mostly decent garden soil.

I believe you can start the seawood drench now and a 15-30-15 miracle gro drench. Foliar feeding shouldn't start until about week 5.

I start off when they have around 5 true leaves and plant is moderately hardened off. I generally start off with about 1/4 the amount and work my way up to full stength during the next 2 or three weeks. Early morning and late evening preferable for intial foliar watering. Once plant is hardened off to the elements,foliar feeding can be done anytime.
