I would keep your fertilization on the weak side for now. I don't apply full strength fertilizer to mine until they've been in the ground 10-14 days. Sometimes compost is really "hot" and can burn very young plants. I started my seeds last weekend and mine will go out to harden off the second week of April, so at about 10 weeks old. If you see they're outgrowing the 4 inch pots before it's time for them to go out, you might go to a larger pot and use a potting mix that has some food mixed into the formula. If you go that route, I would not add any other fertilizer they're planted in their permanent homes.
