 Feeding seedlings

So I've never done a soiless mix. I'm doing like 70% coir and 30% perilite. The perilite was that miracle grow shit so I rinsed it for a while and I'm hoping the nutes on it are gone.
That said, I don't really know when to feed my seedlings. I've always used FFOF or Roots Organics soil, and been all set on veg growth without a real need to feed ever.
But since theres nothing in this mix for the plants to live on, when do I start to feed? I don't want to fail before they even get their first leaf set

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

No need to feed until it has one or two true leaf sets.
I usually don't feed until about 2 1/2 to three weeks old.

Really? Even in coir? I heard to feed just before the cotes crumble off and die. I'm not sure what time frame that is, but it could be what you're saying.
Cool
