They often spend weeks making roots before you see any top growth, so no need to worry IMO

At this time of year I don't think that they need feeding at all.

I planted Radar setting onion of 25th Oct (Bournemouth area) and they are just beginning to show green tips.

As Corporal Jones says, 'Don't panic!'
