You just need to find out the actual ratios of each element. "Includes all major and micro nutes" doesn't mean squat.....The in sales blurb says includes all major and micro nutes I will try to find a nute analysis.
When your done mixing your batch what is the ratio of N to K? JKThis is what Krystal recommends for formula's ( since she recommended this mix she bumped me up to 22g Jacks 20g Epsom and 15 Calcium Nitrate ) per 20L water
Here is what I recommend, I always add in some extra Epsom salts, you can buy it at the grocery or drug store. Then for the Blooming use 10-30-20
Veg: 150 ppm 5-12-26 +Cal Nitrate.
So dissolve 20g 5-12-26 in 20 liters
Then dissolve 1 tsp of Epsom salts
And finally 13 g Cal Nitrate
Bloom: Blooming (First week): 300ppm of 10-30-20 + extra Epsom
Which is 60 grams of 10-30-20in 20 litres + 1 tsp of Epsom salts
(2nd week) back to 150 ppm of vegetative formula
Alternate between 2 formaulations till the end of the growing cycle.

Plant prod is Haifa owned and their salts are cleaner then most others.That 10-30-20 puts a lot of P in your mix when a marijuana plant really does not use that much. It would seem that formula would be good in a sandy soil were P gets flushed out of the soil easily. Or good for starting seeds or cuts. JKJC I don't know what my ratio's are I don't know a lot about nute's right now I don't have a lot of extra time to spend reading so I need to rely on JR Peters advice until the fall when I get more time. Krystal bumped me up to 22g Jax 15 cal nitrate 20 Epsom. Also I seem to have been fighting some sort of plant disease at the same time so it's time to kill off everything bleach the shit out of everything and start fresh. Just a thought for others what appears to be a very stubborn and nasty plant disease seems to have infected every plant I have it is most likely that it arrived on the outer shell of seeds purchased on the net you may want to research washing and cleaning seeds when they arrive with 10% TSP solution followed by 10% bleach solution like farmers affected by Tabaco Mosaic Virus do, never tried it but if it works with out killing seeds better safe than sorry. My thoughts as far as Jax, CropKing, Plant Prod fertilizers are that these fert co. are really big companies dealing with huge hydro tomato farms ect. you can likely tweak their mix and do really well, Jax has left a bad taste in my mouth except for the 10 30 20 .
I do not know what salts are in those formulas but a lot of people seem to have a problem with them. So I am guessing they are using cheap salts or something is out of wack ratio wise. I like a little higher ratio then some "marijuana" companies formula. I like somewhere around a 1:2.75 to 1:3 N:K .JK
I was simply looking at his ppm ratio once he was done completing his nutrient mix. Not knowing what salts are in his brand I can not run it thru a calculator. I was just guessing from others having a problem with those nutrients that either they were using poor quality salts or there are some bad ratios in the blend. JKwith the ratio you mention here; I assume your talking about % ratio rather than elemental?
I must amend my previous ratio's also; I had another nute that I forgot to remove. To clarify I'm giving elemental ratio.
Krystal's - K:N = 1.42 (not 1.45)
Veg shown K:N = 1.46 (not 1.50)
Bloom - K:N = 1.66
