NPK Ratios

Ok so im using AN's three part base with b-52 which in all honesty i haven't been to happy with but anyways...
Micro 4-0-0
Grow 1-1-6
Bloom 0-5-4
B-52 2-1-4

I've been mixing these at one part each to 1/4 strength (minus B-52) so I'm guessing that puts me at 5-6-10 with a low ec (no meter). From what i understand thats way off for a vegging ratio? What im aiming for is something closer to a 3-1-2 ratio. So my question is am I right on this equation and if so how should I adjust my mix to correct this. My thinking was to up my dosage of micro 4 times to make it 17-6-10. But that would probably put EC way higher than where i would want it. And if i cut the dosage of grow/bloom that would put it way to low... So any input????
 
Sounds like your trying to over complicate things.

Dont worry about Ratio's - as long ya Veg Food has Nitrogen in it and ya bloom has Phos and Potassium you'll be sweet.
And if ya feeding quarter Strength then ya should be ok. Just dont over do it with the feed and you'll be ok.

To be fair AN are over priced and tell s you everything ya wanna hear but any basic Veg and Bloom Feed will be surfice.
 
Altho i cant recommend PK13/14 enough by Canna. Try it out a few weeks before flowering and ull see a nice diff in buds :)
 
I meant a few weeks from the finishing line in flowering, not literally before flowering, my bad!
 
why not try the Lucas-ish Formula?
it consists of only Micro and Bloom.
for veg feed twice the amount of micro as bloom. (final ratio-10-5-7)
for bloom use roughly the same of each, and read your plants to see if they need more grow then bloom, or vice-versa.
PS, always mix the Micro in FIRST.
