I would use it for veg, there isnt enough phosphorus in that for flowering. But it is one of the best for vegging, only problem is it smells like death.

sure you can, just add one of Alaska's other fine products "Mor Bloom" (0-10-10), just cut back with the fish when flowering to half regular strength.
if your growing outside the soil has to be warm enough for the fish emulsion to rot and release it's nitrogen.

not if you dilute it, 1/4 teaspoon per liter or quart of water. I use 20-20-20 myself. If you water first then feed you're far less likely to burn your roots.
I basically feed ever watering like that.

hmmm, ok, next time you need to water you water OK ? you water to the point of water running out the drain holes, this helps flush out salts from the previous feeding. You mix your soluble fertilizer into the water and then re water with that to the point of runoff again, probably only take a couple of cups of nutrient solution.

So you can watere twice? same day, once 2 flush, once 2 add nutes..so overwatereing is watering everyday, and NOT giving the roots a chance 2 dry...BUT u can water as much as u want @ 1 time bc the excess should be draining out? is that correct? sorry about the simple questions, 1st timer..and i have read he FAQS, jst that sometimes a convo with some1 helps soooo much more if your not understading the faqs..

yes, it's the same as if it rained all day then stopped if it were outside.
