I planted my new scape about 4-5 days ago but I haven't dosed it with any ferts yet. Most of the plants were grown emersed so there is a bit of melt in some plants (eg monte Carlo and hygrophilia) but it's not excessive. But at the same time these plants are showing signs of new growth.
Due to having high ammonia readings I've been keeping up with daily 50% water changes.
I watched a YouTuber called MJAquascapes and he recommended to wait until 3 weeks before adding ferts to the tank while the emersed growth is transitioning as there is plenty of nutrients in the water column that is being leeched from the soil and the root tabs.
But other articles I've read such as 2HrAquarists states that you should dose straight away to help the plants transition.
Honestly the conflicting opinions in the hobby can be quite annoying but what are most people's opinions on this
