i think it looks like a nice mild fertilzer to use, weaker than what most people use for ganja and good because i dont want to give my plants loads....

the bottle says:

NPK fertilizer solution containing magnesium 4-4.5-8 magnesium content 0.03%

Biggest problem is the NPK ratio is off ballancer for MJ

Bet it works great for tomatoes though

I think it would be great in the start of flower. Having a higher ratio in K or potasium(sp?) will help strengthen the plant as it streches in early flower.But after she gets done streching I think you'd be better off with a ratio higher in P or phosphorous.Simply put much more P than N.If ya have to much nitro.your plants will tend to flower slower because they're still trying to grow leaves,and that of course will lead to leafier buds.In flower your plant will use a lot more P to form the bud.So by giveing yer plants a higher P fert.yer helping it to make BIGGER flowers.If yer ferts. aren't organic be sure to flush about 2 week from the end and give'em nothing but water from there on out till the chop.Sorry man I can't spell wortha shit,its' a wake-n-bake thing.lol hollar if I can help with anything else.take care...BC

whats the composition of a typical flower only fertilizer then ? and im sure ive seen people using ferts with nkp as high as 15-15-15 or 15-30-15, that would give them more of the nitrogen that you say they dont need ?

You still need N. but at less of a rate than P in flower.The 15-30-15 for instance would be all right because of the ratio,it being twice as high in P.Your ferts. would be fine if it were a little higher in P to off set the N.It's important ta have all three N-P-K and micro nutes too,but at diffrent stages of the plants life it uses the npk at different rates.In veg your plant uses more N to grow leaves,in the first part of flower they will use more K to build stem and in full flower they use more P to make bud.Btw they don't have to be high numbers to work well.Again useing chem.ferts make sure ya flush good so your buds don't taste like shit...Hollar if ya need to,BC
