Question about nutes

no ideas?...what is the best npk ratio for flowering?

That ratio doesn't seem to far off, but have you read that bag yet. Did you notice that it is tree food. You are not growing a tree are you? go out and get something that is made for vegging fruits or flowers.

for veg you want a high nitrogen ratio mabey 20-10-10 for flower you wat high phosperous ratio mabey 10-20-10

yeah, when i picked up the nutes, i was still very new to this, thanx to this site i've picked up a great deal of knowledge, the first person i asked what the npk should be, they said 15-5-5, so i concentrated on finding the closest npk with out even looking at the tree shrub evergreen thing, i honestly thought it wouldn't make a difference...newbie mistake

if i'm planning on using molasses during flowering, should i make any adjustments with my nutes???

the numbers on npk are all ratios so 20-10-10 is the same as 10-5-5, 4-2-2 or 2-1-1 it just differs in the amount you need to feed. So keep this in mind, you don't need to find a feed that is as close to 20-10-10 as you can you just need to find one with similar ratios. And many of the micronutrients and shuch will matter between tree and flower feeds, I would imagine tree nutes are probably too strong is certain areas for your needs, and you may burn your plants with that. You won't need to change things when you add molasses just add it at 1-2 tbsp per gallon every/everyother watering.

can it be used more than every other watering, cuz in several other threads people were talking about using 2tbsp/gal and using every watering, i wasn't planning on going that strong, but i was planning on using 1tbsp/gal and using two out of every three waterings

and so far my plants are doing very well, knock on wood, hope it stays that way when i start to flower
