Here's some sample ratios from commercial grow nutes:
FoxFarms grow big, 12-7-7 +micro
Dyna-Grow 7-9-5 +micro
You need the micronutrients, and you still need a bit more K and P for growth too.
You want the high N, but 5-1-1 is not exactly what you need.

That's correct. Read labels on complete ferts and choose one that has similar ratios to those above.. just not MG...

Yes, along with 'Sweet' carbohydrate synthesizer.

I like Botanicare Power Plant, and FoxFarms Grow Big. But you've got to get those at specialty shops.

Cool beans, make sure you add some perlite to it for lightness.
