20-20-20 all the way?

can i use like peters 20-20-20 fert for the whole grow? i live in a very cold place and all the stores have their gardening shit put away so i havent been able to get flowering nutes and online is not an option for me....is there anything i can add to increase the phosphorus (or whatever the p stands for) levels?

20-20-20 is ok but when you get to flowering the n-the left denominator has to lower and the center one has to rise and som etimes the end one too. You should be able to find some 15-30-15 in store even in the winter that is standard stuff. If your plants have just been transplanted you can add mycorize to the roots then the phospheros level must not exceed 20 because this has a multiplying affect.

if you use it right through your buds will be very leafy,i tried it,switch to a 15-30-15 somethin like that,all stores have it even grocery stores,the stuff thats for cactuc works well i dont remember the n p k of it.

try 5-50-17 but use moderate amounts, not the full tspoon

thanks for all the responses guys! i live in a very small city and dont have any good stores really and i dont have transportation to go somewhere else is my main problem though i know low nitrogen high phosphorus nutes are best but what im asking is their anything i can do to make the 20-20-20 work better? i was hoping i could just use the 20-20-20 very lightly (and flush frequently) and just mix in something to raise the p levels.

you could do that, but in flowering you need lower N and Higher P
