Don’t be discouraged if one type of growing style doesn’t work for you, maybe another will. Not everyone is capable of doing everything.
If organic amending isn’t working, maybe try the salt nutrients, or time delay nutrients in your soil. There’s nothing wrong with it.
My cannabis growing exploded once I changed from soil to aeroponics(hydroponicsesque), doesn’t mean I can’t grow in soil, I’m just apparently better at aeroponics, or it suited my lifestyle better.
