In a complete diet—all the nutrients and additives your plants will consume—there are two main groups:

Base nutrients. These are the main course. They provide a wide range of elements that make up a more-or-less balanced diet. Most base nutrients are packaged in multiple parts or bottles, often with those bottles denoted for either the vegetative (growth) stage or blooming (flower) stage.

Additives. Think of additives as your dietary supplements. Additives can be applied when your plant is showing deficiencies in a certain element, or if you're trying to arouse certain characteristics, such as taste, root growth or flower size.

Assuming your environmental factors are in check with respect to seed depth (1 inch at most!), temperature (68-86 F), and not too much or too little water, there are usually three reasons why this is happening: primary dormancy, secondary dormancy, or infertility. There is nothing you can do about infertility, but there is hope in the other two cases.
