Would these cheap garden nutes work for cannabis?

Been thinking of cutting the costs and not hauling water with nutes, so came across these..

Would these work for cannabis as they are, or should I mix them up, if so in what ratio?

Or should something be added to them for optimal effect?

These 3 powders are readily available locally and are dirt cheap compared to liquid nutes in growshops..

(they do have also spesific powders for tomatoes, strawberries, potatoes etc. What would be ideal NPK-ratio to look for, if these are not suitable?

Spring nutrient powder:
NPK: 8-4-13 + Calcium 6

NPK fertilizer. NPK (Mg),(S) 8-4-13 (2),(8) contains micronutrients
Nutrient content in weight percentages: Total nitrogen (N) 8.3%, Ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) 5%, Nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) 3.3%, Phosphorus soluble in neutral ammonium citrate and water (P) 3.5%, Water-soluble phosphorus (P ) 2.6%, Potassium (K) 13.2, Magnesium (Mg) 2.7%, Water-soluble Magnesium 0.8%, Sulfur (S) 7.5%, Boron (B) 0.04%, Copper ( Cu) 0.02%, Iron (Fe) 0.06%, Manganese (Mn) 0.19%, Molybdenum (Mo) 0.0015%, Zinc (Zn) 0.03%.

Additional information: Contains Calcium (Ca) 6%

Summer nutrient powder:

NPK 13-7-20

Nutrient content by weight: Total nitrogen (N) 13,0 %, Ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) 5,9 %, Nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) 7,1 %, Phosphorus (P) water soluble 7,0 %, Potassium (K) water soluble 20,0 %, Magnesium (Mg) water soluble 1,2 %, Sulphur (S) water soluble 4,6 %, Boron (B) water soluble 0,02 %, Copper (Cu) water soluble 0,01 % (EDTA chelate), Iron (Fe) water soluble 0,1 % (EDTA chelate), Manganese (Mn) water soluble 0,1 % (EDTA chelate), Molybdenum (Mo) water soluble 0,002 %, Zinc (Zn) water soluble 0,01 % (EDTA chelate)

Autumn nutrient powder:

PK 3-13

Organo-mineral fertiliser PK (Ca), (S) 3-13 (3), (5) contains micronutrients Nutrient content by weight: Total phosphorus (P) 3%, Water-soluble phosphorus 2.25%, Total potassium (K) 13%, calcium (Ca) 3%, Sulfur (S) 4.9%, Manganese (Mn) 0.05%, Zinc (Zn) 0.002%. Additional information: Contains magnesium (mg) 0.06%, iron (Fe) 0.01% Raw materials Recycled raw materials of vegetable origin: (Vinasse, molasses, cereal by-products: husk flour, starch, vegetable oil), minerals and trace elements

Many thanx in advance homies.

I would pass unless I could test them first. As long as the NPK is equal in ratio in the long run they may be ok. However, if you are going to spend time and effort with good seeds I would only use the good fertilizer until I could test the others.

look for some organic tomato or pepper nutrients
works perfect . Add in a 4-in-1 booster like GreenSensation or BioBloombastic .
Youll grow nothing but fire
