i know with --- is best to use it every feed and i was told that you can start feeding as soon as you see the first set of true leaves growing, but the dose is 2.5ml per gallon of grow,micro and bloom, then it increases the dose as the plant gets bigger,
so not sure how the doses work with other nutrients but if you look in my signature below their is a plant hospital section or accident room, and their is also a nutrient feeding guide which covers a lot of nutrients and gives the schedule from the start to harvest so you may find that some help to you,
with the soil i use my plants can go 2 to 3 weeks in the smaller pots then when i transplant they then go another 2 weeks without looking like they need nutrients, so i dont feed nutrients for the first 2 weeks as the --- schedule is an all round schedule for hydro and soil grows, but as the soil is full of nutrients then the plant dont need any at first as its got plenty to feed on, i found if i did use nutrients early on then it would cause some minor nute burn on the leaves so i dont use nutrients in the first pot but when i transplant i leave it 7 days to settle in to the new pot and then i start feeding nutrients every other feed until i can tell the plant needs more then i go every feed,
also keep an eye on over watering, it can stunt growth, i made the same mistake and it badly stunted growth, my plants totally stopped growing for a couple of weeks, then i was told to stop watering until the pot was nearly dry so i did this then the plant grew like weeds,
the other problem i see is your temps are high, you either need to raise the light or get more air moving around, the edges of the leaves are cupping up, this is a clear sign that the plant is trying to lose moisture quicker as the temps are to high,
