I recommend going organic next time! You only need to use clean PH 6-7 water, maybe some liquid kelp, a little sugar like molasses, and you’re good!.. Also some microbes/compost tea once a week doesn’t hurt.. But the soil will grow the plant for you! Definitely use the highest quality potting soil you can find to start off.. Fox farm ocean forest is a one example the industry benchmarks I trust. I personally add more aeration (like perlite and rice hulls) to whatever soil mix I make because I have a tendency to over water. Research living soil, the soil food web by Dr Elaine Ingham.. once you learn it you feel like spreading it like gospel haha
