It sort of depends on how good your soil is but a good rule of thumb is to start with a low concentration at about the 4th-5th week of vegetation. As long as you are using good organic nutes like foxfarm grow big (which is 6-4-4 NPK ratio) you really dont run much of a chance of burning the roots or over fertilizing even at full strength. But with a ratio this low its best to fert with every watering at the dilution listed for "every watering" on the back. After about your 4th or 5th set of nodes you are definately in the clear as far as feeding IMO. You can start foliar feeding at the listed ratio with a spray bottle even earlier, like maybe week 3. But good soil will usually sustain the plant for the first month or so of its growth...
