Not really to be honest. During flowering you want something high in Potassium (The "P"). Six is not very high. I use a 9-32-9 during flower by comparison. It will be better than nothing but if you have the means I would get something better.

P is Phosphorus. Potassium is K, the third number. You do want something higher in K ... ratios like 3-5-4 or thereabouts would be a better fit to flowering weed. cn

It's better imo. Don't forget that those ferts are usually deficient in cal/mag. cn
