Get Osmacote premium and remove all of the big wood chips. Add some pearlite and amendments. Anything with a huge ratio of wood chips is no good. Get as much of that crap out of there as you can.

I used to get searles “platinum” from my nursery and liked it. It has peat which keeps a bit of moisture in. Good for where I live. I notice now Bunnings also keep this as well as the Searles “premium“ which works and is similar to osmocote. Now I make my own worm castings and mix 50 50 with organic mix (sift out the chips) and some perlite. For the very best mate,,, get composting!!

Hi matey. It does depend on your priority. I always go organic as much as possible. They do have limited options there, best would be seasol and charlie carp. I am guilty of using powerfeed but only to get me out of a pickle and never in final weeks. Recommend chatting to ur local hydro guys instead of bunnings or online order some biocanna or ozi magic home delivered!! Good luck with the grow matey, off to a good start and some cracking spring weather at the moment!!
