Exactly. There's no such thing as veg and bloom nutes from the plant's perspective.
You might want to reconsider the source on that info.

so of that 3% Nitrogen up to 20% is not Nitrogen. I think the 3-1-2 ratio in veg came from hydro growers? I think they run higher than soil growers? I don't know.
That 3% nitrogen in the total volume of the bottle is 100% of your total nitrogen content. Get it? Good.Exactly. There's no such thing as veg and bloom nutes from the plant's perspective.

Wise man once said, do not try to simplify what you do not understand.
I knew immediately where the 3-1-2 thing came from when I read your first post. Uncle Ben has also said that 1-1-1 from start to finish will do just fine, and 'you'll be successful if you treat cannabis like a tomato' -- many tomato nutrients are higher in P than N and higher in K than P.
I think you've been sucking too much on your vapoorizer... "Where did the all poo go?"
Shhh dont say UB too much or he'll magically apear!I knew immediately where the 3-1-2 thing came from when I read your first post.

I don't want to speak for the guy but what I've always taken from his advice, and his war on P, was/is not to be suckered into unnecessary and potentially harmful gimmicks such as PK boosters -- not that there is an exact ratio or method to growing.
And as far as the 3-1-2, I've used it from start to finish before and it works well.
Biobizz pre mix is 3-3-5 so i assume their soil is similar, high in Potassium...
If that was actually in reply to my post you missed the point. In soil it does not mean 5% of the soil is potassium, in bottled nutes it usually does mean 5% of the weight of the contents of the bottle is potassium.
What's important is providing complete nutrients with a reasonable ratio. Potassium is not more important than N, they are both important. It's important to realize there is not a specific NPK that is best, that gives most yield or something, the plants need "enough" (not too little, not too much) of each element, which is a range and not an exact amount.
Why does straight chicken shit burn plants and rabbit manure doesn't? Rabbit manure has a higher npk ratio.
I wasn't claiming they used any ratio in particular.
The answers im getting are that any npk will work, personally i find this isnt the case but hey, it was good to see both sides of the coin and know that most are running just as much if not more potassium than nitrogen in the veg stage, i guess potassium is the new nitrogen.
Fair enough, I wouldn't try to persuade you against what you've found to be true in your own situation because that would be foolish. But no truths are absolute -- what works for you may not be as ideal for someone else in their environment, with their watering/fertilizing habits, and with their strains. I've actually found H&G Soil AB's 3-1-5 ratio to work better for me than Dyna-Gro's 3-1-2 in Pro-Mix but I would never go around saying that it's better or that DG is shit.
Thankyou and i dont disagree with anyones opinion here.
No, that's my bloom formula. Veg is closer to 3-1-3. It really doesn't need a hell of a lot of P.
No i am shocked that its your bloom fert as it looks more like a veg npk but i am seeing a lot using a more veg npk for bloom with not so much p and k but that just shows how much of a nitrogen loving girl Mj is.
