1-3-2 is NOT a good enough amount of those nutes. You need to do some reading, my friend. For instance, the first number is 1. That's for Nitrogen. During VEG you'll want more along the lines of a 5 to 10.... 1 is WAY to low.. And thinking that you can just add more won't work, because it doesn't work like that... Like I said, do some reading.

I use the Lucas Formula. Google it up. You will learn a LOT about nutrients just from reading about that alone. AND, it works VERY well... Just look at my photo albums with the pics of my plants, and you'll see what I mean. :-)

Good luck to you!

Lucas formula is from the 70's. It's not for soil generally, but you can modify it. It's antiquated and outdated. Based on old growing philosophies.
It still works because it's based on the fundamentals of growing anything, and you can get a harvest from it,
but most of the time you have to supplement nitrogen anyways, so it's not entirely fool proof. The whole idea is
to save a measly $20-$25 every grow cycle...

The thre numbers on the front of the bottle, 20-20-20, is the amount of available Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively.
No mater how much water you use, that's how much of each is gonna be in there.
