Abnormally high phosphate levels.

[Chronisseur]

I'm looking to collect any strong arguments against the use of very high levels of phosphate in flowering. Any and all input on this idea is very much welcomed!

I have very good flowering yield with 10-52-10 (NPK)...do you consider that high?

HUH? That seems like too much N and not enough K? I'm very open to new ideas but is that ALL you use, (any other supp's?)
Whats your dillution ratio and sched?

That's all I ever used...a pinch to a quart of water...about ever three or four days..and a pinch of epsom salt ..once a week.

I agree you don't need much nitrogen during flowering true...but about a week before harvest...my plants sucked all the nitrogen out of the fan leaves..(they turned yellow and fell off)

what is high, i might ask too? i use a 4-12-4 as a suplement and also a 0-12-0 as a flowering fert. it can burn the tips if you are not carefull. 0-12-0 is mixed in the soil and hopefully takes care of the whole flowering stage.

Very interesting stuff. I would be referring to high like a fairly stiff 0-52-0.
