Dr Earth and Espoma are both usually available at Home Depot. Both are organic, I’ve used them before with very good results. Truly there’s no need to spend a bunch of money on designer nutrients, the plants don’t know the difference.

my guy, like guy said .. no need to spend your hard earned money on designer inputs...yes ?
if you take it a few steps further in your planning, goals and research you could bang it out the park yes ?

Living Soil or Coco? does that sound like you?
Both kids here are some knowledgeable pipe hitting MFkrs

your best tool is planning my guy. are you tracking your grows?

never used dr earth but have espoma on hand.
mainly use Buildasoil and I'm always surprised to see awesome results, what i like about them is awesome customer service and question hotline.

goodluck

I am using Dr Earth on an indoor grow.
They make a specific feed chart for cannabis.
Check it out.

Note: If you want to use the metabolic root stimey it is only available from Dr Earth direct.
That and a mix/pour are used for the " high feed rate " nutrition plan.

I just did.
I find it strange they don't really mention what water to use.
My tap water is up to 500 ppm. I don't know but i suppose it would make a difference from RO??
My RO is 30'ish ppm

Ro water is what I use. I start cal-mag when lights hit 75% of expected high at 3ml /gallon maintenance dose.
I also use dry amendments and the 2 pour adds from the high feed rate.

Dr Earth at Home Depot and Lowes, or if you're out West, a lot of Ace Hardware stores and DIY Center carry EB Stone. Here in town they even stock the EB Stone Recipe 420.

Plus a few supporting things: Unsulfered blackstrap molasses (I use Plantation brand), seaweed extract (Growmore brand), epsom salt, gypsum, and humic acid. If you're leaning into microbes, get some earthworm castings and compost too.

Quick question, what media are you growing in? It makes a big difference. Feeding coco is much different that feeding soil. The Espoma and Dr. Earth work well for soil, not so much for coco.

Went Potting soil

 

[BeefyBully]

do all favor and add in a pinch of worm castings, just a pinch or two
then read about RootWise BioPhos and Elixer
what are you using for light intensity? and how do you measure?

if there's any nutrition in the pot microbes will find it

That’s been exactly my experience though I’ll have to be honest to add my long experience with compost mixtures turn out like “super soil” (not bragging, truth) so they just grow big and produce big. But that’s veggies. I’m new to cannabis but darn don’t seedlings look great so far (most). Never, or hardly ever use anything other than the like of photosynthesis plus and Alaska products. And my ever growing brother-in-law says, “It’s a weed. Dig a hole. Plant it and water it, Walla, buds!.” No, I don’t think it’s that simple.

After using Dr Earth at cannabis feed rate I can say the feed rate is close ( 3 different strains ) but is a bit hot. I would recommend following the feed interval but drop it to 75% of the suggested feed rate.
I had deep shiny green leaves and slow growth on one plant and clawing on a white widow until it got sorted.
I have not started bloom nutes yet but will be reducing feed rate in that also
