Smile Dwarf French Beans - Concerned

My Dwarf French Beans grown fromm seedlings are starting to look a little anaemic, some of the leaves are gone very pale, do they need any special feeding ??? i have only used general type Nitrogen feed on them.Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards Hammer

Should you be feeding them yet? Ive not fed mine and they are looking fine for now.

I only water when they are dry, I'll increase the watering when the flowers appear..

I will be using liquid tomato feed.

Hi Hammer, all bean plants fix their own nitrogen from the air so do not need a nitrogen feed aswell. I never feed bean plants but maybe you could try an organic liquid seaweed feed as a 'pick me up'. Do you have a photo??
