Does adding high P & K do more harm then good, such as nute lock out? I got some monster bloom 0-50-30, Is it worth using? If so how often to use and at what stage?

That sounds pretty much like MOAB, Mother Of All Blooms (0-52-32).
Here's the feed schedule for that.
[h=2]Directions For Use:[/h]M.O.A.B. can be used during the first week of bloom to help induce flowering. Add M.O.A.B. during the last two to three weeks of flowering for added levels of phosphorous and potassium. Combine 1-2 teaspoons of M.O.A.B. per 5 gallons of feed water. The amount of base nutrients may need to be reduced by as much as 50% when using M.O.A.B., over feeding may burn plants.

Clearly using too "high" a level of something is bad; but a moderately-high level will be fine; though I doubt nutrient levels like that (which are sketchy to begin with) will ever be made for organic growers.

Not sure what it costs, but what the first 3 posters referenced is just relabeled monopotassium phosphate.

Does that NPK ratio look familiar? Maybe similar to.. I don't know... EVERY bloom booster you've ever seen? Why is it only $2 a pound?!?! Big Mike wouldn't try to take advantage of us... would he???

I'm sure you can find this locally so you don't gotta pay shipping.

Damn high phosphorous or even moderately high was shown only beneficial for some field crops in some soils years ago. potassium for flowers not phosphorous
