I’m looking for a specific brand for fertilizer recommendations such as the type of fertilizer you’d add to water. I am growing potatoes indoors in 5 gallon pails that have drainage. I have 200 W LED Lights over the top of them. The potatoes are Already 1 foot two maybe 2 feet high. I’ve added soil to the base To mound them. I know some fertilizers have too much nitrogen And you end up with too much vegetative growth. I’ve drawn these potatoes since 2000 in the garden And would bury the potatoes underground for the winter and replant them every spring. Last year, I did not have access to a garden, so I am trying for the first time to grow them indoors. I am familiar with miracle Grow. I didn’t know if there’s a better choice
