Fertilizer isn't your limiting factors. Carbon dioxide is. As far as a good fertilizer, use something like a 3-part system - J.R. Peters (Jack's) is one. I've even used it in soil with great results, although it's listed as a hydroponic fertilizer. Provides everything and it's cheaper per gallon if you buy the 25-lbs bags (something like $0.04 gallon including an 8lbs cheap bag of foodgrade walmart epsom salt) Can't beat pennies per gallon. Your lights and carbon dioxide are what the plants need to power growth. Dumping more ferts into your substrate will not grow a bigger plant unless you were starving it before. you should think of providing optimal amounts, not maximum amounts. Back to lights- - without co2, you don't need to provide more than ~800-1100 par or you are damaging your plants. With increased CO2 ppm, you can go higher.. think 1500par? Want to grow monsters? Buy expensive and efficient lighting so it doesn't cost so much per month. Buy a co2 emitter of some sort - if you run the numbers on the yeast /sugar water home remedy it's not feasible and doesn't save money due to quantities needed. Get a tank.. and learn soem safety measures so you don't die of CO2 poisoning or asphyxia or whatever it's called, lol. Otherwise, provid elight upto ~1000par relative to your square footage and give what it needs, not too much.

hey man, i actually used some kind of pellets called Biotabs, but i took their full line up . Actually it's not a question of fertiliser how big they get, but you should choose the fertiliser that's easiest for you to use, simple as that. for me biotabs was the easiest thing ever, and it worked great ! 5.5 kg with 2 sq meter in 12 weeks, so that's a win for sure. Actually now i use different brands and so on, even tomato nutrients for NPK, some molasses for taste sometimes like 15 euro for 25 liters, and i dont think i even used 5% of that in 2 years lol. Most important for you, is to make sure you have three things every time : NPK , cal mag, and a chelation agent like enzymes, humic acid or beneficial bacteria , you dont really need cannabis specific things except the cal mag, and i guess it should be quite cheap. Hope this helps ! 🚀

second what jef79 said, too. If it works, it's good. I just think that sort of stuff is tougher to control... if you know your plants it can work well for a low-maintenance run and that's hugely beneficial. If the plant is an unknown, how do you know if you gave too much or too little? You'd have to err on the low side of concentration of those slow-release pellets to be safe. I forgot to explain why a 3-part -- it's got everything and easily adjustable. No more cal-mag and 12 different other products, unless it gets your rocks off...
