I'm sorry but I gave up trying to read this on the second line, lol. If you're asking if the 20-20-20 is OK to use, I'd say yes, but use it sparingly at first.

I would never use all purpose walmart brand plant food. Miracle gro also not recommended. Get the flora series by General hydroponics or the botanicare line up, or technaflora, or something like that simple and basic, but f walmart all purpose poison.

I use their stuff too, one teaspoon powder to one gallon water. I feed ever week after I've watered.
for flowering I use the 15-30-15,

Ive used it it too. It worked good for me but you have to make sure you flush real well when finishing. I used the 15-30-15. I just went water,fert,water,fert etc.. when flowering. I use whatever it said for outside plants. Give it 2 weeks of water at end. Didnt burn anything. I flushed some better than others and you can tell if its hard to burn. Just make sure to flush real good. I used this and AN and plant prod actually yield the same or a little better.

You have to transplant rite now! best thing to do is go soilless. bx promix sunshine anything with no fertilizer. Sorry had to edit no ferts because you want roots to travel into the pot looking for nutrients. I use mg purpose plant food 20,20,20 no problems.

het dopeman get them transplanted into 4 - 6 " actual flowering pots thinking plants need to breath better

old thread but i use the same nutes, plant prod all purpose 20-20-20 for vegg and for flowering i use there 15-30-15 i use at 1/4 strength and work my way up. i have a buddy that uses it aswel swears by it except he uses 20-20-20 all the way through of course he flushes the last 10 days just like me and he grows an indica dominant strain and gets 1-2 pounds a plant outdoors in a pretty sunny area.

Its the same formulation as jacks classic 20-20-20 for Canadians :). I have used it in soiless coco and yielded 3/4lb dry in a 8 sq ft area from a 300w led light. It also works with ebb n flow as Im doing it right now with decent results. For bloom i use their 10-52-10 halfed with potassium nitrate :) to give me a 1-2-2 ratio which is what greenhouse seeds uses. Does not work with dwc tho. I have tried and failed miserably :p.
