Question for the vegan growers

I've been using Down to earth vegan mix 3-2-2 and here is the list of what's in it

Derived from:
Soybean Meal, Neem Seed Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Rock Phosphate, Langbeinite, Greensand and Kelp Meal

ALSO CONTAINS NON-PLANT FOOD INGREDIENT(S):
2.5% Humic Acids derived from Leonardite

My question is is this all one would need for vegging up to flower or even to harvest as its basically a premixed plant based super soil in one box albeit with a lower p&k. I've had a successful grow using this and adding extra of the listed ingredients from their line of individual amendments and only watered until harvest without anything else.

Could just the vegan mix be used all through veg and just before switching to flower adding a top dressing of Langbeinite and rock phosphate for a P&K boost through bloom, or would it be better to add extra of what's in the 3-2-2 for a better full grow npk ratio

Find another blend for flower, one higher in P. Something like a 4-6-4 or along those lines.

If you're wanting vegan, just check the ingredients lists on the back. No blood/bone meals or guano and you're good to go.

Yes, that will work great. I've got a fair amount of experience with Down to Earth products (I live very close to their store), and most of their 'blends are fairly comprehensive. I would have said use BioLive, but I think it's got bone meal in it. That mix is good though, just keep top dressing with that, and maybe kelp meal, greensand, and alfalfa meal. Be careful.if you top dress with langbeinite, it's pretty potent.
