Hey all, Happy growing everybody! well lets get to the point...im growing in a soiless media Sunshine#1 under a 400w hid in a climate controled environment with water given at 6.0 ph. also in a few other plants, i mixed some light potting soil with the sunshine#! about 1/3 potting mix and the rest sunshine#!.
i have been feeding it Fish Emulsion for its entire veg cycle which brings me to my question...i was looking around at hardware stores for flowering nutes and i ran across Espomas Organic start which has a NPK value of 1-2-2
now this is where im confused...the bottle boasts the product as "starter plant food" yet the NPK value favors flowering cannabis...am i missing something here? because this stuff sounds like a good flowering food but it is called a "plant starter" could i use it for flowering mj? thanks in advanced for any help!!!!!

High phosphorus/potassium aids with healthy root and overall plant development. That's why many companies offer "start" nutrients beside their "grow" or "bloom" formulas. When you feed your seedlings with high nitrogen nutrients, you may notice dark green leaves with red/purple/dark stems. Start formulas with some supplemental magnesium can help bring that healthy lush green color back to your stems.

okay that makes sense....but how well do you think it will be for the entire flower cycle? I mean, minus the last two weeks
