Question About Plant Foods?

[HappyNow]

Me Again...lol

Ok i have a question about the right kind of plant foods to use?

Do you use the 10/52/10 with the higher middle number when the plants are smaller? {the first 6-8 weeks or so?} then switch over to a 19/31/17 when they go into their 12/12 right?

I was told that i'm to use this kind where i live, as the plants seem to really like the 19/31/17 for orchids...

At first i had i ass backwards and was using the higher middle number when they had started to form the buds!..lol
Noticed the leaves were starting to wilt pritty fast...lol

Am i to asume that i'm doing the right thing here???..LOL

The first number is nitrogen and you want less of that during flower cycle.

i always used a roundabout 20/20/20 in veg then a 15-30-15 to flower. then with new nutes the numbers changed(i dunno why) to a 7-9-5 for veg and 3-12-6 for buds. these are hydro nutes, i use them in dirt too. talk about confusing. i also use a weaker solution and feed everytime cuz im so burnt out i forget all the time, hehe. but i give clean water breaks every couple weeks. now im fooling with this canna flores stuff with the pk boost and these plants are making nice flowers. i went to a site recommended by zandor in another post, advanced nutrients, for nutes and im going to try them next.
