    When you read the 3 numbers on the fertilizer bag, they are Nitrogen, phosphorous, and Potassium. Even Miracle grow has Nitrogen and Potassium...

    As for the lemon balm, they want as much light as you can give them. West or south window sill, or under lights if you have them.

    I use four tubes, two cool white, two warm white, 40 watts. They're four foot tubes, and that does for all my light loving plants for the winter. You may have to keep trimming the lemon balm back, as it can get to two feet or so, which is hard to manage under lights, but trimming won't hurt and you could root some cuttings.
