N-P-K in veg you want a higher N, in flower p and k needs to or should be higher as you dont want to much n during flower.

Norcal hit it on the money... your #-#-# are N-P-K (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)

And also correct in saying during flowering N needs to be high, this is what helps in growth, flowering needs less N and more P & K

With fertilizers a nute with higher first number will be for vegging example 6-1-1 now in the flowering stage a nute with 2-10-10 will be for flowering stage....numbers I posted are not exact but you get the Idea...first higher for vegging....last 2 higher for flower....

That should be okay if it's your only option, just go easy, mg's stuff tends to be quite potent and can burn easily

I'd go with anything organic if you can, Advanced Nutrients has a great selection, i just use really nice home-mixed organic soil and shultz 10-15-10, the chemical nutes aren't going to ruin your buds like everyone says just remember a nice flush and start with small doses, don't need your little girls od'ing now do we?

their web site is harder to navigate than space. food for plants in dirt should be a section and the names tell nothing about the product, will read more later

the info is stickied. NPK. Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium. and always in that order.
Veg...get jacks classic. any nursery or garden center. or home despot
Bloom. Only add a little more P and start feeding 30ml/gal sugar daddy or other molasses product throughtout flowering. add epsom salts to your watering at a rate of 1tsp/gal and that takes care of your cal/mag


....edit....and buy a ph meter if u dont already have one
