most of what i've read seems to indicate you would need more Potassium (K) than you have in the second fert. If it were me I would mix a batch of the second fert at half strength and a batch of the first at quarter strength and then combine them...that should put you at around 16-35-30...that's pretty close to some good commercial mixes...

You should shoot for a ratio closer to 3-1-2. ie 30-10-20 etc.

is that for flowering?

Both. Just add some more Potash during budding if you have an exceptionally well balanced and parametered system.

well panta, if you follow the fat man...then you'd need to find another source of Nitrogen. if i was you and couldn't find anything else, then stick to the formula i gave you and you should be alright. maybe not optimum...i've never used that much nitrogen flowering... but you should still have healthy plants.

If I wanted to find a recipe for a cheap non-organic fertilizer for aero so I could also use things like chlorine what would I search for? I have tried lots of searches but I can't really find anything solid. I am worried about taste so I was considering vegging with non-organic but flowering with organic.

With organic fertilizer you should not use a oxidizing disinfectant like chlorine or Hydrogen peroxide. You would be be limited to beneficial bacteria, enzymes and pathogens, spores etc. Your best bet for well rounded advise in that area would be in the organic section of the forum. Lots of issues with organics are more important to organics than chemical nutrient applications. There are a lot of bacteria processes going on in an organic reservoir that are not happening in a chaemical nutrient system. That is the reason why no chlorine or H2O2 with an organic system.
