Greetings,
I suggest starting with a soilless medium with No nutrients in it, drains well, is ph buffered and is relatively inexpensive.
ProMix HP $5/3gal fabric pot...
YOU then control all the food the plant gets !
KISS for food, one dry/powdered ingredient. Plus it has been suggested to add Cal/Mag if under LED lights.
Jacks, Mega Crop, GH MaxiGro/Bloom, etc.
Very simple, measure out grams per litre of water as per their feeding schedules AND your observation of the condition/color of the plant.
THEN if you have a problem there is No need to guess what is missing in your soil mix with worm poop, kelp, banana leaf juice, etc., he, he...
If it is not a watering issue, it is likely to be an under/over feeding. Adjust accordingly.
Watch your temps, par values, relative humidity, air flow, etc..
Once you have some experience and hopefully a successful grow, Go for it, start experimenting with organic, etc. !
Don't just pile it on, understand what each amendment is going to do. Add them one at a time in test pots and SEE what they do..
It is a weed but
This is a Durban Poison photo topped once, 3 gallon fabric pot with ProMix HP, MC one part, well water @ 450 ppm and ph of 7.5, No ph down, 600w MH, day 31.
Cheers
