What's the NPK of your bat guano? Seedlings will do just fine without any nutes and if you're going to be transplanting later anyway you might want to wait and mix the bat guano in then. Fish emulsion would be a better first fert (after the cotyledons dry up), and personally I only use bat guano (the high P kind) in tea during flowering if I think they need more P than what's in the soil amendments.

The weed Gods tell me when my plants need more P.

If they just don't seem to be budding as heavily as they should and I can't find anything else wrong, they get bat guano tea. The guano I use is 3-10-1 and I brew the tea at one tablespoon per gallon of water. One tablespoon per gallon of soil or water is the general rule with most organics.
