Flowering stage nutrients

I was wondering what are the nutrients (Macro and Micro) that a flowering plants needs to bloom to its fullest potential? I have been gathering information on this topic to brew some teas to sell at my local farmers market.

There is an interesting article in one of the pot magazines at the book store.it might be High Times.The people at Advanced Nutrients say that growers are using too much phosphorus when blooming.He says(and their studies show) more potassium and nitrogen are needed.I trust AN so I am not going to jump on the high phosphorus band wagon at the moment.Who ever said they need everything was correct.I grow in soil,so I will use more seaweed(for potassium) and fish(for nitrogen) when blooming.Both should be used from the start...

I really havent seen to many complaints (actually none) about age old organics. There are some advanced growers on here that use it inside and outside and they come up with some amazing results. Its only a 2 stage product which is awsome for people like me who want to use all organic products but do not have the time to mix about 14 different nutes and teas.

Higher N will delay flowering but not enough will cut it short. I gave restricted N (like a diet lol) during flowering, enough so that the plant is happy but if you stop giving it runs out fast is key, so that you can flush and let the plant finish when you decide. I think stopping P is more a matter of doing so at the right stage of flowering for your strain. I stopped all nuts at week 6 of NL#5, which was about right for N but probably a week early for P, but its fine cause I gotta make room for the new ones. K is also important during flowering, needs good amount, bit less than P.
