Casu Marzu or is it Martzu?

Got some really fancy weed seeds in a trade with a friend. Planted a few of em and gave away and traded the rest. Out of the three I planted two sprouted, and out of the two that sprouted only one survived. The strain is called Casu Marzu (or is it Martzu?) and its doing good.

Hungry? Like I need to give it water or nutrients you think? Im still a noob to growing weed. I have only grown 2 plants before both outdoors, and one time I grew a male plant (if you want to count that). This is my first time doing it indoors, but I hope to transfer it to outdoor at some point after it gets bigger.
Any recommendations would be great!

Yeah hungry for nutes is what I meant, the leaves are a bit light in color which is usually a nitrogen deficiency, the stem is also red which is another sign of a deficiency. The cotyledons seem to have been cannibalized already as well, meaning the plant was hungry and began pulling mobile nutrients from the lowest leaves to support new growth. Cannibalism is very common when growing in soil, and is a good indicator that the plant wants more than the soil is providing.
With slow release organic fertilizers such as espoma garden tone, you want to top dress about two weeks before you notice cannibalization. With salt based ionic nutes, they are already in a plant available form, so they work well for quickly addressing deficiencies.
I prefer amendment based organics when I grow outdoors in raised beds, but I prefer ionic nutrients in coco coir when growing indoors or starting seeds. The different grow styles play by different rules, and understanding the nuances is critical. That’s why it’s usually best to pick a lane and learn one method at a time.
If you have any experience in organic gardening, that will help immensely. The inverse is also true, learning to grow weed will take your veggie garden to the next level.
As far as what to do for your plant right now, I’m assuming it’s in a seed starting mix, which has very low nutrient levels. I would feed it with a balanced nutrient blend at around 600-750 ppm, being careful not to water too frequently. I use Jacks 321, but the master blend 4-18-38 kit on Amazon is very similar. You’d also want to pick up a scale, a cheap EC meter, a quality pH pen (I have an Apera pH-60) and some pH up or down if you go this route.
Another option would be to pick up some fox farm or a similar brand of bottled nutrients and follow the directions on the label, but salts are more cost effective long term and will teach you more about growing hydroponically or in coco.
Really depends on your goals and budget. Nothing wrong with starting small.

The only thing I have for nutrients on hand right now is wild alaskan salmon fish fertilizer, should I try and use some of that? If not I will look into getting something better asap. Thanks for all the help!

It would be better than nothing, as long as it doesn’t stink up the house
