I'm currently in my second week of flowering and I was wondering what was a good N-P-K ratio? I'm using some BS miracle gro "Bloom Booster" because of a money shortage. The N-P-K of the "Bloom Booster" is 15-30-15. Is that too much? What would be a good cheap nute to make my buds big and sticky? Any suggetions/ replies are greatly appreciated!

no its prolly not to much but your probably not gonna need to use it as much as in smaller doses than what the bottle says

All the way up until harvest? So that's not too much nitro?

i would prefer gowing with some a lil less in N because some strain dont like N during flowering and could force them back into veg mode..but ive also heard story that people us N all the way thru..i use something with less N yes if thats what your asking..but ur nutes it is possible

hey keemgod, nothing wrong with that, just mix it weak. watch your plants and increase as needed. don't let the mg haters scare you.

I used the full strength the first time the other day. Thats prolly why a few of my leaves had dry spots. (I'm guessin nute burn)
