Default Yeast Nutrient Question

I'm (finally) getting time to brew the 10-10-10 Wee Heavy this weekend (thanks, furlough!). And I'm going to build a 1.25 gal starter. I just picked up some wyeast yeast nutrient for this, and what I'm wondering is if it should go in the starter, the boil, or both? All the instructuions say are 1/2 tsp per 5 gal of wort.
Thanks!

It's an excellent nutrient - many are just diammonium phosphate, but this one has all kinds of nutrients (most importantly zinc) in it. I use it in the starter and in the full batch. 1/4 tsp in the starter, and anywhere from 1/2 to 1 tsp for the full batch.
