The last three should be ok, though 15-30-15 is bloom mix, I think?
I'm sittin' here lookin' at a box of MG AllPurpose Plant food (water soluble) I just bought and my analysis reads 24-8-16, which IS normal for general all-purpose commercial ferts.

I have no idea why our numbers don't match. Your's IS MG Bloom?
Assuming we're both correct. you can use yours for veg, but you'll probably need to boost the nitrogen (1st number) with a supplement? Also, that's a lot of phosphorus (middle number) for an entire grow, though I don't know if that's cool or not, but I'm thinking not?

Thanks for help, it doesnt say bloom on it anywere, might because im in uk why the npk is differnt but not sure, Im going to use the one in the big tub for vegging as i still have a while left before flowering, any ideas on how much to use and how often ?

I don't know if I would necessarily use that...

I've used a couple MG products without much success. From what I've seen and read, it just doesn't do very well with pot plants. If it is all you have, go ahead and use it, but from my research and recent experience FoxFarm nutes are the best. They are organic and just do an overall awesome job. I had a little sticker shock (spent about $60 on two different bottles) but there is plenty in each bottle.

If you want to see the results and explosion in growth check out my thread:

I couldn't be happier with my choice!

Baz . . . start 1/2 strength or less. Work up to fuller dose.
It's easier to add more than remove any.
