If google is correct, it's a 2-7-7, you're going to need more N than that.

Your hydro shop has some good all-purpose options and that's what i'd suggest. If you're shopping at a big box hardware store, look for something with a fairly balanced NPK content (ie, 20-20-20) and make sure it has some calcium and magnesium too.

Dosage is key.

I don't know that there is a reason to leach anything at this stage.
