i saw on another growing site that the best fert levels to use for vegging are 20-20-20 i looked at ferts today and saw a 15-30-15, a 10-20-10, and a 10-52-10 <--this one i know is for flowering early or so. my question is where can i get the 20-20-20 stuff? and when should i start using the 20-20-20; my seeds are sprouting now and are under 24 hr light. thank you for any responses.
From what i was told it's not a chance of finding 20-20-20Quote:

that..but you can't believe everything someone tells you :p
You get that from mixing your own levels. Like with General Hydroponics or Advanced's 3-part mix. You can make any formula you need but they take a certain amount of expertise to use correctly. Also it's the only way to do proper cycle feeding.
Don't tell me you read at overgrow and now you are confused? That is understandable there is so much good information around mixed with crap it's hard to tell the difference these day's. There are many good one in all products around that will make your first growing experience a success. General Hydroponics has a brand called Flora nova they have a one bottle to veg and one bottle to flower with good buffers to help balance the Ph. Advanced also has a product that does the same thing. Worry more about using good quality RO water keeping the Ph balanced and providing good light. Keep the temperature under control and a fan moving air around the plants.
And most important have fun.
i'm using flourescents for lights and the heat stays relative, within a few degrees. and the site i saw that was highgrade seeds.com and i'l keep yall posted and how my grow is coming along, and thanx you two for the pointers.
peace
Most of the ferts i have used are no where near as hi in phosferus as that I dont no why you would wont a N:P:K of20:20:20 for veg i recon 25:8:17 would be general fert.
A balance of equal nutrients is popular among several growers who grow quick crops. it's still a ratio of 1-1-1 anyway you measure it. You get the percent by adding more quality but it's still a 1-1-1 mix.
Eco-grow is a good fertilizer...A single ingredient in it that helps the acidic ph lvls in ur soil, and more I'm sure...Is found at ur local k-mart, or wallymart.
