I'm a bit smarter now.........sometimes.
Be careful what you wish for. :jointsmile:
About rain water, I have two words for you: Acid Rain. If your rainwater is really acid, you might see some nutrient imbalances. Also, I understand you have to suppliment with cal-mag if using rainwater. Hmmm, sounds like research.

As I said, can't advise you specifically, just in generalities. No, it won't damage your soil, per se, to go with chemical nutes. Just always, start slow and at a reduced rate from label directions.

Whatever nutes you choose, you are going to need at least two different formulations; one for vegetative growth, one for blooming. Veg nutes are usually balanced, like 1-1-1 or 6-6-6. Bloom nutes are heavy on P and K with little or no N.
If using chemical nutes, stop feeding some weeks before harvest. Indoors it is 2 - 4 weeks, but outdoors, I don't know. :detective1: Plain water during that flush time until harvest.
I've bloomed four strains so far, but not any of those. Good Luck.
