Hi,
I bought a growing kit which had 3 different types of seeds 10 each. Did the stratification in the fridge for 6 weeks.
Now being out of fridge 2 out of the 30 seeds started sprouting after 5 days, both mountain pie (Pinus Mugo Pumilio).
They are about 1 cm tall.
This is my first time growing from seeds so I am totally unsure when to start adding fertiliser to the water. Or does the compost disk have enough nutrients until re-potting?
Additional noob question: if I add the fertiliser to the water but don't use all can I use the same water days later or would the fertiliser "go off" being in water for longer period?
Many thanks for any help

Having got the seeds to germinate first before even thinking about fertiliser. Once they are big enough to handle they need to be separated into individual pots. They should either be in a greenhouse cold frame or outside depending on country.
