Does Higher Phosphorus "Induce" flowering faster?

Hey guys, I have 4 plants in 3.5 gallon pots in their second week of 12/12 lighting and I still don't have true bud sites forming. There are white hairs at the bases of the branches but no real buds beginning to form at the ends of the branches... and these guys are bushy as shit, blue-cheese strain. I'm giving them Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom for Soil, but that is only 1.5-4-5

Would giving them a synthetic nutrient with very high 'P' value help promote bud sites faster? I have the Fox Farm solubles with an NPK of 5-45-19. This is my first time using the Botanicare line though.

I just don't want these guys getting too tall before budding. Sorry I don't have a pic, my camera is busted. They are under 400w hps with 4, 4 foot T5HO supplemental bulbs in a completely light-tight enclosure with supplemental CO2. Thanks for the help guys!

I've been wondering the same thing, if you look at the fox farms feeding schedule, the first 3 or four weeks is nothing but the bloom and tiget bloom, you dont use grow big again till like week 5. So i think your probably right.

I just don't know if the higher P value of the synthetic, trumps the lower P value of the organic at inducing flowering.
