If you want bottled organic nutes go with Earth Juice product line (2 part). and several bags of Happy Frog/ocean forest if you do not have ready compost.

I'm with Dmannn, Earth Juice is easy to use and relatively inexpensive. If it's your first grow start basic and go from there.

im thinking of getting 3 worm bins and feeding one bananas one cheese and then one both so one for potassium one for phosphorus then nice mix also do you think i should add it to the water or add it directly to the soil?

I would look into Dr Chos teachings if you are interested in Natural Farming but this idea sounds like it needs rehashing. I would highly recommend not going that route until you learn the basics however. Get a bag of soil and start growing. Worm bins are going to be months in the future. Best time to plant a tree was yesterday they say, todays second best.

IMO- If you want homemade fertilizer then you should get some soybean and mill it. Typically 7-2-2. If your soil doesn't have fert in it already, add about a half cup to each of those pots and scratch it under the soil. Wait until your plants are a bit bigger though.

Let it eat that food first and then feed. The plant is not feeding as a seedling, but it will as it gets its root hold.

If you start dumping nutrients on top of nutrients they react in certain ways that don't always end up well. Worm castings are fine because its not very potent. Don't add anything else now or the plant will not like it.

what do you guys think of just using tomorite tomato feed for now ive seen a few people purely just use that for feeding i think that the simplest i can do right now npk is 4-3-8 i think me messing about with the wrom method rn on my first grow isnt the best of ideas but im gonna get the worm bins set up for my next grow

pumpkin and squash seeds?
Bananskins/blackened bananas and DARK meaty green veggies skins like cucumber skins.. you can even burn them and toss the ashes in the worm bin to speed up the vermicompost process, just make sure you can pull the juice excreted by those worm guys..

You CAN use that to supplement top dress AFTER plants have been vegging for 1-2 months..I would shy away from from it though.

I focus on two or three sources of N (think manures), And good slow release sources of P and K (bone meals, mined supplements and kelps/guanos). Don't worry about your micro nutes (Mag/Moly ect) too much if you have Decent soil/compost to start with BUT and this is important. TWO sources of calcium. MJ plants love calcium. Not a TON of calcium but at least two sources.
