Fertilizer for seedlings

My tomatoes in a seed tray are getting their first set of true leaves. Should I give them a little fertilizer?

This is a store-bought tray with peat pellets that expanded when I put water on them.

I think one of you young people should invent a tiny little watering can for the seed trays:)

Take a 20 oz pop bottle or a 12 oz pop bottle and punch holes in the lid, then fill with water and use like a small watering can...LOL

Be careful with peat pellets it is easy to overwater them.

You are so right! I've already done it, but the plants seem OK. I also dropped the light on them a couple of times. They need to be tough to live with me.
