I am writing to enquire about if any of you used water from banana peels throughout the life cycle of the plant, is able to provide (NPK) the required demand of seedlings and avoid deficiencies in later phases because it uses rainwater ??Thanks in advance

If banana peel water is the only nutrient you're providing, the answer is a resounding "no" - that alone will not provide the necessary NPK... it's basically only giving the plant a bit of potassium.... You'll need to provide it a LOT more than that. If you want to grow organically, there are several nute lines specifically formulated for growing weed that are all organic... or you can try to be your own chemist and concoct a regime for yourself... Good luck!

I only used rainwater with Canna nutrients, it was in the initial phase, there was nothing to complain about, only later the problems started, (B) (Mn) the second time I used rainwater only for seeds, the rest was tap water and there were practically no deficiencies but I focus on ecology, although better results are obtained with tap water, after a short thought I decided to use Biobizz starter fertilizers, see what will happen:)

nope.. and rainwater isn't magical. it has not special properties compared to tap water. in fact it is likely acid rain and worse for your plant.
