N.P.K 17.7//7.9//16 = Grow
N.P.K 6.2//14.6//16.8 = Bloom
Is this OK? I can not alter the balance but i can lower all the totals...
Any comments appreciated :)

i came here for the kittens :(

and for the last 3-4 weeks of flower id use less nitrogen and a little more phosphorus than potash. and maybe a little less potash for grow.

Use the grow formula for both. Once you increase the ppms for flowering the amount of PK will automatically increase

P is oversold. Think about it, it is the main ingredient in gun powder. A little goes a long way. Too much is simply not good for your plants, but it is awesome for PK booster sales, which often take full page color ads in all the magazines

Google DIY nutrient formulas (I think there's a thread on riu)

I recently switched to Hydroponic Research VEG + BLOOM and am extremely pleased how much better it is than DM Gold (full line) that I used for a year

I think those look pretty good. Just read the plant and feed appropriately. Keep in mind that just because you're in bloom doesn't mean you can't use 'grow' if that's what you're leaves are telling you. To get a little more detailed here, what is the secondary macro nutrient profile? Are you providing any micro nutrients or are you growing in soil?

Ok guys, i have seen the thread, and you look like you know what you're talking about. I think i made a mistake...
I have some 10-22-6 and 6-6-6 because i took advice from a friend... But looking at the thread, I realize that im probably in trouble, the money factor is pretty important for me too, so it is going to be shit to buy other fertilizers.
Anything i can do with that stuff? Any tips?
THANK YOU GUYS!

if your low on cash maybe try jacks classic, the 6-6-6 might be good for veg but idk about flower, i dont use that much N after the 5th week since N is mainly for new leafy growth and your medium will probably have plenty stored in it.

But what do you exactly use for flowering? Just wondering.

Thank you sir!
glad to help, technafloras success kit is pretty cheap too, maybe try that out. although i guarantee jacks classic will probably be a little cheaper, could always just grab yourself some worm castings for veg and high P K bat guano for flower, thats all i use really, i tried technaflora this run(i dont usually use synthetics in veg to keep from salt buildups later on) and havent been disappointed but i usually just run with organics until the last 4-5 weeks of flower when they really start to swell, i used bontaicare's hydroplex(sample cause im cheap like that haha) last time and it worked well, its nothing but P and K since my compost is pretty rich in N.
