You might consider adding worm castings.

I am interesting in hearing what others are using for fertilizing seedlings.  So far I have used a soil mix similar to Elliot Coleman's soilblock recipe and watered occasionally with sprouting rinse water.
Currently I am wondering if this will be adequate or whether I should do additional fertilization.  I don't really want to use fish since I am a vegetarian, but it seems this is what a lot of people recommend. I assume you want something with a bit more phosphorus than n and k to promote root growth.  Anyone making their own concoctions or using some other products?  I'd love to hear it...
