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.

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.
