Fertilizer vs. Feed

I got some food (CNS17) for my plant but i haven't used fertilizer. Can I put some organic veggie fertilizer in the soil? I used some kind of potting soil that proably had nutrients but it has been a few months...

Sorry if my question doesn't make sense. I am pretty cluelss.

I did look for answers on google before posting this but I am still confused.

I just looked at the conents of the CNS and the organic fertilizer and they are quite similar.

what do they mean:

Fertilizing the marijuana plant is different than feeding it. Feeding provides it with basic nutrients needed in order for it to live, while fertilizers make it grow bountifully and give consistently high yields

Can anyone help?

hold back on the food until plants are strong and healthy
If your in strong soil you might not need feed untill mid bloom

I only have one plant, I had 3 but 2 died when they were babies...

This plant is pretty big, it's about 2.5 feet tall and it has a stem like a tree branch. It has been out in heavy rains, the soil feels very packed. It's in a pot.

I gave it some food, do you think it's OK to do nothing for a while?

Yea you can feed it. Give half strenght feeds.
U have to figure out the ppm of the soil to decide when to feed.
I grow in a very light soil called Sunshine mix or Promix. Same thing cept promix is strong to start off so you just give water. Sunshine i add small amount of nutrients to the water coupled with Vitamax(b1).
I recomend B1 if you are growing anywhere stressfull.
Anyways the "soil" i use is good because i pretty much get to pick what ppm i want my soil to be when they go into bud. I grow by the week like most people do so i feed once and water once. Its called SOILLESS hence there is no soil in the mix. Soil is aka minerals/organic.
This isnt new to anyone but you. Do some research. Im sure u will find some help

thanks for your help. I don't know much about growing anything. I did do research but it's al very complicated and contradictory.

seems like each guy's technique works best for them. i would ease into the nutes at 25% strength and see what happens .. go slow with the nutes till ya see how the plant reacts.

Feeding and fertilizing may be used interchangeably in most situations.
