Flowering Nutes - Help me choose!

I'm trying to decide between 2 brands of nutes for flowering. I'm in Europe, so some of the usual brands I see people posting about aren't available to me. Here are the 2 I'm considering:

Plagron Terra Bloom
N: 2.0% P: 2.0% K: 4.0%


Biobizz Bio Bloom

N: 2.0% P: 6.0% K: 3.0%


The Terra seems to be more commonly sold on Dutch websites, which sort of suggests it might be a good one to go with given how seriously the Dutch take their growing. Is the P high enough in it though?

Someone also told me I should consider getting both, and mixing them at half strength each, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks to both of you. What about mixing solutions? Have you tried that before? Is there a downside?

The K is for Potassium...I know k is potassium seems weird, but true...lol. But I would go with the biobizz...the numbers sound more like what I have read mj likes...then again one of my friends treks out into the woods about a month before he is gonna plant his plants and uses one that is 18-46-3...just throws a handful in the fresh hole. Comes back in a month and puts in his clone and then covers it up and waters it...only waters them if it hasn't rained for a few days, but ust generally leaves them alone after the one handful of ferts a month before the plants are there...

got a fert here N:10.6 P:4.4 K 1.7 IS this way to high in nutes ?
No, it wouldn't be good for flowering but probably good for growth by this I mean the vegetative ...People look for a huge N number when they are in veg, but really you need P as well it grows not only buds but roots. and the K is used in small amounts throughout the cycle. So that sounds well balanced to me. But while I feel like I understand all this and try to make sure all my ratios seem appropriate I still get it wrong often. Given I do a little better everytime, but I still get burnt leaves from time to time---So, I am no expert. But have spent alot of time trying to get there...lol

If you are new to nutes and such you should stick with one line...hopefully that comes with a schedule. It is a huge market for fertilizers out there, and it is easier to use a combination that is all laid out in the beginning.

Thanks... Biobizz it is! Looks like I'll have around 3-4 lovely ladies to impress with the stuff. Will post pics at some point soon!
