Why's that ?It depends on your medium/growing method.
If I was on my 1st grow, I wouldn’t worry too much on fine tuning your p or k ratios. If you have a good base nute then add a good bloom booster early to mid flower and the manufacturer should have done most of the work for you keep it simple on your first grow and concentrate on having a good environment and keeping the plants happy and healthy. And remember with bloom boosters that a little can go a long wayHave read different views.
What do you all raise most during flowering? P ir K?
First grow btw..
Because nutrient uptake is different depending on the growing method.Why's that ?
Medium is soil.It depends on your medium/growing method.
Both, phosphorous for yield and potassium for terpene production (THC is a diterpene).Have read different views.

No matter what you're growing in you still want P and K levels to be even or K slightly higher in the last 3 weeks,prior to that P levels should be higher than K but Ca is the most important nutrient for early flowerBecause nutrient uptake is different depending on the growing method.
I'd use a veg formula from start to finish then. Halving the recommend dose is a good place to start.Medium is soil.

Veg formula from start to finish? Never heard that one before......I'd use a veg formula from start to finish then. Halving the recommend dose is a good place to start.

How did you come up with this theory ?I'd use a veg formula from start to finish then. Halving the recommend dose is a good place to start.

19 years of practice. It's no 'theory'.How did you come up with this theory ?
Just switched to a veg formula that is 17-18-28.I'd use a veg formula from start to finish then. Halving the recommend dose is a good place to start.

Your theory has me stumped tbh Homebrewer lol. Do you add bloom boosters through flower? I’ve accidentally used veg nutes in flower instead of bloom. and the plants/leaves showed faint signs of nitrogen toxicity and buds didn’t swell/put on weight. If this were the case then why does every other plant require potash etc. Or the likes, to assist in flower/bud/fruiting? Or is MJ in a class of its own?19 years of practice. It's no 'theory'.
I'd stick with your 24-8-16 and keep doing what you're doing. Your plants look great.Just switched to a veg formula that is 17-18-28.
Soil is an organic mixed with a lttile Miracle Gro Potting Soil <I know...>
Have been feeding with a 24-8-16 so far for 6 weeks from seed now.
They <3 bag seeds> started out under old florescent basement lights and just went under a 315W CMH a couple days ago.
Net is 48"X48"X68"
Pots are 17 Gallon.
I'm thinking maybe another month for Veg?
What do you all think?

That's operator error. If you're overfeeding plants with ANY formula that will definitely affect flower production.Your theory has me stumped tbh Homebrewer lol.

Sorry man, but I don’t get your theory.
I have done it, just add PK in flower it's all that it essentially is, without the PK added.Veg formula from start to finish? Never heard that one before......
Will do.I'd stick with your 24-8-16 and keep doing what you're doing. Your plants look great.

In regards to plants in containers requiring potash, veg formulas supply plenty. You can add more if you'd like, say potassium sulfate for example, but it wont increase your yield, only add sturdiness to your branches.
I'd recommend against that.Will do.
Maybe throw in a little bloom boost in during flower?
