That's a great topic as I've been wondering about the differences of Fish Blood and Bone or Bonemeal, apologies in advance if I'm talking out my hoop but my knuckle dragging awareness of it deduced that Bonemeal's better for root (perhaps even veg) and FB&B for fruit - (flower?).

Apologies for thread-jacking my edit button isn't letting me see who started the thread so please forgive my intrusion.

Sweet I love John Innes for my container garden (not Cannabis). Its free draining because of the sand but I use horticultural grit at 20% because it can get very dense.

Tomorite giant planter with added seaweed, isn't bad. The only problem I found out the hard way was not to feed too early (nitrogen toxicity) I might try a john Inns next.
