Fertilizer

Is 18-18-21 okay to use when vegging? I live in a REALLY small town and resources are few. If it is okay how often should I use it? My wife also has 18-24-16. I think it's like rose food. Maybe I'll order something better from the net. I hate paying shipping. The higher the nitrogen the better when vegging. Is there a limit?

That is ok to use, just use at 1/4 - 1/3 recommended dosage. You generally want a mixture with high N, and P, and K that are equal to or lower than N. I suggest trying to find something a bit different but it will do the job.

Order something off HTGsupply.com

there you can find nutrients that will be good for your plants.

And make sure to only nute every other watering at most

The stuff your wife has you could use during flower because it's higher levels of P.

Thanks. I will follow advice.

I found some 28-2-3 at the local hardware store. It's to feed your lawn with. It's a mix of slow and quick release. I think I'll stick with the tomato fertilizer and use at 1/4 strength. I wouldn't even know how to use the lawn stuff, too scary.

Rose feed can be used as an alternative if you're very hard pressed, it's not ideal as it really is formulated to meet the needs of a completely different plant but it will do some good, you just need to ensure you add it carefully because feeding a plant wrong is doubly easy when using food not made for the plant.
