     depends upon the size of the seeds and if   
   you've repotted into more fertile medium than   
   seed starting mix.  usually i would only   
   supplement fertilize only if the plants are   
   showing signs of deficiency (why waste $?)...   
      
      
   > 2) transplants from the nursery?   
      
     only when actively growing and showing   
   signs of deficiency.   
      
     after a few years of planting various things   
   you should have some idea of what is normal   
   given your other conditions (like this year we've   
   had a lot of rain but not much sunshine so plants   
   will be lagging a bit).
