That doesn't make and sense but thanks anyways
You don't need those boutique "lineup" products. If you want to boost PK in flower, just buy an inexpensive product with her PK ratio and mix it with your 1-1-1 ratio base product. For example, you can get 3 pounds of Grow More Hawaiian Bud & Bloom for $9 Mix 6 parts base to 1 part B&B and you'll have a reasonable 1-2.1-1.29 NPK ratio at the end of flower. (Mix it 3 to 1 and you'll have a so-called "booster" at 1-3-1.26).

If you're going to mix overpriced boutique products, be careful because it's the *ratio* that matters. You can use this spreadsheet to mix match whatever's available.

I wouldn't use 20-20-20 but I'm not saying it won't work...I would suggest investing in some quality base nutrients from one of these companies...Advanced Nutrients, Canna or Botanicare.

So it would work fine then ?
It's about ratios. It doesn't matter what brand you use, except that some brands like Advanced Nutrients charge you more for cartoon labels. (The people who run the company seem like the Make Money Fast guy on late-night TV. But, that's just my impression.).

Whatever you do, keep in mind that you can do it for less with ordinary products.

And what ratios for veg and bloom stage. I know I need less nitrogen in bloom but that's about it pretty much. My plants have been turning out pretty good so far but I think I can get better results

How about Lucas Formula? Just one bottle of GH FloraNova. If you have decent soil there really isn't any reason to use a veg nute on a plant that only vegges for a few weeks.

I don't know why this keeps deleting my posts and sorry if this ends up being a triple post..

Why not use Lucas Formula.. Just one bottle. It's all you need.

Pick up a somewhat balanced (even numbers) organic slow release fertilizer, or poop pellets and if you have 20+L of soil it should be enough.
I go for the cheap garden ferts that come in buckets in construction shops.

With a 20-20-20, plain supermarket brown sugar / molasses and any PK additive for week 4+ flowering you should be fine. I don't know which of those liquid money in a bottle nutes in a PK additive, so check the lable.
Be very careful when applying a 20-20-20 as it is very concentrated and could easily burn a plant. Start at 1/4 strength.
