Heavy Harvest Concerns

[The Red]

Hey I am going to be using Heavy Harvest for a guerilla grow this year, I was thinking of using spring and summer and forgetting about the fall blend. Do you think this would be a bad idea? I was wondering because the summer is 13-15-11 and the fall is 13-14-16 and I was thinking I could just use the summer for the rest of the year after spring. Thanks for any input.

If your going to scrap one I would drop the spring and run summer and fall.
I personally wouldn't cheap out on the bloom nutrients.

I was thinking about doing that because the summer and fall are basically the same thing as far as ratios go. spring has a very high nitrogen content so I figured that was more important. you think I should just go spring and fall?

what are their NPKs?
imo AN is more into making pretty labels and money than nutes....

(Spring: 25-9-7) (Summer: 13-15-11) (Fall: 13-14-16)

Im gonna use hh this year for the first time. Ive talked to a few guys that only use the summer and fall with good results.

I think I'm going to take you guys' advice on this but I still would like a little explanation on why the N content is so high in the spring. It being that high makes me think that it's a pretty necessary thing.

Im gonna run the spring but if I didnt I would probably add something organic that high in n like blood meal.
Im no expert though so take it for what its worth.

easy novice way to think about npk is "up, down, all around" n=leaves(at the cost of buds) p=roots k= over all plant health...

i use a 12-12-12 nute in veg...if you have lots of nitrogen in bloom you will have leafy dark green herb... the fall HH is 13-14-16 that's too much n imo....
