I use Schultz 10-15-10 so I don't know about 20-20-20. I use this every watering - 7 drops per quart. My big ones get watered almost every day so they get lots and lots of food. The good thing about it is you don't have to remember when to feed, it's whenever they're dry. It also says on the bottle that you can eat vegetables the day after using it, so it must be non-toxic. I also use SuperBloom every 10 days which is 12-55-6. That I have to mark the calendar to remember. Good luck!

Just started using it. All I want to know is how I find out what percent is correct for weed?! :roll:
Nothing is too strong if diluted properly. and the percent really depends on your strain. let your plant tell you what it needs. if its nice and dark green then more than likely its well fed. if the veins are begining to yellow then it need some food. other than that i would just water with plain water if your in a soil or soil like mixture. you can always add more food, but flushing out a nutrient toxicity can be a bitch. its always better to start off a little weak and work your way up to the right ratio. on another note i wouldn't recomend using that for your whole grow cycle. the different stages of growth require different levels of the different nutrients ie more nitrogen in veg and more potassium and potash in flowering (im a lil high so i might be wrong on the flower nuits but you get the drift). so an equal fertilzer at 20-20-20 is going to have to many of the flowering nuits during veg and too many of the veg nuits during flowering.

Ya if you want the 20-20-20 should be alright but like tahmi said during vegi stage you need more nitrogen. N-P-K

Just mix it with the right amount of water, as long as you don't overdo it you'll be fine the plant knows what it wants and will eat what it wants, I dunno since its not "callibrated" to what your plant needs in each stage you might want to flush as there will be salt build up, But that is any chem solution I suppose.
