I doubt they need anything just yet. It won't make them inedible but they might become over leafy - not good it you want tomatoes! There is about 6 weeks worth of feed in a seed compost.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

How long have they been growing? As Flummery said they don't need any feed at all for about six weeks, and by then you should have put them into bigger pots with more fresh compost so they won't need feeding for another four to six weeks.Comment

Miracle Grow would be 'OK' - it's high in nitrogen (for green leaf growth) and in potassium (for fruit), however I wouldn't use it on seedlings, they don't need it.
Each time you repot your plants they are getting fresh compost, which usually has nutrients in it.
I'd only be feeding your toms and chillies as they set fruit, myself. I don't feed beans at all (they fix their own nitrogen in their roots)All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

As usual 2 Sheds is spot on the only question I would have is when you plant out your seedlings will they be in the ground or in a pot? As this can make a difference.

My preference is for SB Plant Invigorator which not only provides a foliar feed but a very safe form of pest controlComment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
