Natures care organic by MG is what I find at big box stores. It’s just as good as FFOF.
Hey, i see you have used natures care from MG. Im using it right now, but i found out that its fairly acidic because of the peat moss. I added some lime to help buffer it some more. Do you have any suggestions when working with this soil? I have them in fabric pots just in case if that helps, idk.

Don’t ph your water until you’re adding nutrients. It’s a pretty hot soil

the high ph tap water helps keep it from burning the plant

My water i use is typically around 7 so its not very high. I have some protekt that could help with upping my water if i need to and it doesnt increase my ppm's by a lot too. I actually started noticing some curving of the new growth which leads me to believe that there is a calcium deficiency (which would be impossible considering the soil is so fresh and i added dolomite lime) so im thinking the ph of the soil is below 6.2. Ill keep those things in mind.

Without seeing the plant and having info it’s hard to tell. If you ph your water or you feed before a month that’s where issues show up.
