I've heard no nutes at first also, but I think it's more strain dependent, I like to run Olivias cloning solution added to my water for the first two weeks (massive roots since I started doing this), with 1/3 strength veg week 2, 1/2 strength week 3, and a veg/bloom combo 4+5, my plants are happy and healthy, so feed those ladies!

Using RO water, I start straight off with 2 ml per gallon of cal- mag and I used some sea green micro in a small amount.
I don't think seedlings keel over and die if exposed to nutrients the first three weeks. I figure they need some nutes to grow and the trick is just to make sure you don't give them too much.
The more light I give them, the more nutes I give them. The less light, the less nutes.

yeah I think that's part of my slow growth...because with bagseeds, since I don't care about them I always give nutes early...one time I planted like 8 bagseeds, gave nutes before they even breached the surface of the perlite/vermiculite medium, and they sprouted and grew big....but with my name brand seeds I try to baby them, and im all scared to burn em early, and they never grow as vigorous as a bagseed...but im going to stop the waiting process...im bout ready to pop another krippleberry...but I may sow my 5 afghani photo's and give them early nutes, just for practice.
hooray for forums...big ups to AFN
I'm finding that, as in any other interest, conventional wisdom isn't necessarily as wise as it is conventional. 
hey is olivias better than others???or would any do???
sts on the 18th??? I cant wait
Honestly, any kind will do, I used to use the cheap stuff from walmart that comes in a big yellow jub, schultz i think, and it works fine, I am slowly switching over to vegan organics, so as I run out of each concentrate I switch it for the natural version, Olivias is made from oak tree bark, works as well as the chemical stuff (that's how I compare, 'does this organic vegan shit compete with my old mass produced chemical shit? pretty much? ok, swap it out')
STS is not organic
but other 'natural' options have failed me, so it is what it is. I have recieved word that the magical leprechauns from europe have passed off my seeds to the magical leprechauns in the usa, and I expect that my seeds will be magically appearing in my mailbox in a day or three, so I'll be starting the STS journal this weekend, I hope.
def looking forward to that journal...any links to where to purchase material for sts??STS is not organic

Cant buy it, it degrades too quickly. When I bought mine, I had to get about 1000x more base chems than I need I was looking into the legality of putting together a 'make your own sts just add water' kit via ebay, I haven't found a reason not to, despite all online rumors to the contrary, none of the precursors, nor sts itself, appear to be tracked or strictly regulated.
I'm going to do more research, but fyi it is something I'm researching, ill keep you appraised.
