If your soil has nutes in it I would be careful feeding or much sooner than whatever they say it's supposed to last. Not familiar with either of those soil products so no idea if they have PH buffers built into them or not, different schools of thought on PH'ing if you are in soil so one of those have to do some research and go with makes the most sense to you.

Ok thank you pal

I’m using westlands multi purpose compost with added John innes which has feed for up to 4 weeks it says

I wouldn't feed any calmag until you see signs she needs it.
Looking at your pictures she looks fine at the moment.

Great thank you mate

Great thank you mate

Also if you look close you have a tiny bit of tip burn which tells me you still have food in that soil.
I would probably give another 10 days or so before giving extra feed.

 

[Mattys1992]

Ok mate thanks and I think my light was too close that’s why I have tip burn so I have moved the light higher and will keep a eye on her

It could possibly be from light.
Just keep watching her.
She will show when she's hungry.
As fastass419 says, when you do start feeding start really small on dosage and see how she reacts.
When you have soil with slow release nutes built in it can be a real bad move to feed too much too soon as you don't really know for sure what she's getting from the soil.
So far they look great so leave them too it
