![]() If they are actively growing then yes. I use Fruit Fuel which is a water soluble fertilizer. I have had bad experiences using 10-10-10 in pots.

Indoor growing under lights the plant can use light feedings if slowly growing. Usaully the plant is growing at "half speed" so you use less of everything. Use 1/2 or 1/4 strength your favorite water soluble or granular fertilizer to mixing directions. If you use an organic fertilizer do the same. I use water solubles when I can while others use granular both work well for the plants.............Just don't fertilize it "REAL GOOD" For Miracle Grow type water solubles can be purchased at the big box. Buy what you can afford because ingredient list is similiar to most products. Fertilize lightly only if they are actively growing. Grow'em like you Stole'em.
