18-46-0 fertilizer

is it okey to use 18-46-0 fertilizer for marijuana plant in flowering stage?

with that high of nitrogen you might get a delayed bud development. nitrogen likes to help the plant focus more on root growth, leaf growth, vegetative growth. i would recommend getting potassium into the mix (K), because it will help your plant fend off diseases and other bad stuff.

you NEED potassium it is the MAIN thing for flowering and strong stems.

18-46-0 is not ideal for weed in any way. it would work mixed with something that has high level of K and some N in it but as it is no good.

18 does not indicate a high level of N; actually it indicates low level of N. 18-46-0 is the same as 9-23-0 just writenn differently... basically like 1-2.5-0 which for veg you would want about 1-1-1 or 20-20-20 and flower you want to have 1-2-3 or 1-2.5-3.5 its just a ratio really

You got the Phosphorus, bout you want more potassium (K)
Less Nitrogen. Try for less than 1.
