should i use a liquid fertilizer with peat starter pellets?

i'm trying those cylinder shaped peat pellets for starting vegetables. do they have nutrients added to them, or soil, or should i use a liquid fertilizer when watering my plants in them? thanks for any help!

1. NO, this kind of soil for calling it a name is ready to absolve the moister for many hours so the seed will always have water. you need to let the seed to germinate, it usually takes 7 to 16 days in full light, mid sun not to hot. once you have the plant grown in a decent size you can use fertilizer. follow the instructions, but i usually use half table spoon for a gallon.
2. No need to use fertilizer until you transplant the seedlings into their permanent home.
