Hi.....at this stage, feed every watering at 1/2 tbls per gallon of water. If you slip and it ends up being 75% of full-strength, don't worry. We have fed seedlings even full strength with no problems.

Full strength=1 tbls/gallon. All Purpose Veg would be a better choice prior to fruit set because of the higher N, but Texas Tomato will work almost as well in the early stage.

Best regards,
