There are literally hundreds of nutrients out there. No need to use any of them if the plants don't show any signs of deficiencies though. I'm assuming you are in soil since the plants are 2' tall and you have yet to use nutrients. When you do fertilize make a much weaker solution(1/4-1/2) than the manufacturer advises. Fertilizer Burning your plants is a real bitch and will slow growth tremendously, which is the opposite effect we want from fertilization.

thanks guys, yeah i was using just general bag soil on the plant and mixed a teaspoon of plantfood throughout the soil to give it a little but i think its naturally growing nice itself too, will keep all that info in mind though for the plants in the upcoming spring.

It's all about being able to read your plants. I'd be wary of the time-released stuff though as you never know when it's going to actually release and all of a sudden you've over fed your plants.

Many growers use Jack's Classic nutrients. You can usually find this at a local nursery for about $10 a tub and that will last you months of feeding. They have a good general purpose nutrient (NPK 20-20-20) that will keep you out of trouble.
