I grew a Ice Cream indoors over winter & YES, if you are simulating outdoor, don't be afraid to fertilize! Indoors, I fert'd every week while it had good growth.
Soil does not need lite - leaves do. Don't cut the leaves -let them grow to the top & fall over. They will absorb the sunlite & it will give nutrition to your plant.
May I ask why you are growing this inside when it is summer? Why not put it inground & then dig it up in fall?
Ooops, I see you only bring it inside for winter.
In winter, I had a hlaogen 500 watt shining strait up at leaves (not down & they stil absorbed the lite & grew well).
