I didn't know 8 weeks without fertilizer was even possible. I just sprinkle a little Osmocote in the media. It is time-release and won't burn anything. I have tried to use a less-expensive Schultz time-release, but it has a few organic components and gives me damping off in cold weather, as do other organic fertilizers. I realize that products like fish emulsion are very popular, and it works fine, just don't let the plants get below about 50 degrees F.
