I just give it water while in the small cube. But I know folks who mix 20% strength veg formula and feed it to seedlings. What ever you do, make sure it's very diluted.
Try this old Lucas formula after you get it in the buckets:
General Hydroponics Flora Series Feeding Strategy - Old Lucas Formula
G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (24/0) 0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12) The numbers above indicate the number of milliliters (ml/cc) of Flora Grow, Flora Micro or Flora Bloom formulas that I use in one gallon (US Liquid) of nutrients. You will notice I dont use any of the "Flora Grow” formula, do not need to, the "Flora Micro" provides plenty of Nitrogen. 1. Top off the reservoir daily using a pH corrected water solution as required to maintain full reservoir level. After adding back an amount of water equal to the amount of your reservoir capacity you should change the reservoir and put in fresh solution.
