You do know thats backwards right? So if you use a 0-50-30 NPK... you end up with more potassium than phosphorus?
That's because the GA is listed with P as P2o5 and we are looking at elemental P. K is K2o.

Edit for accuracy. The premix is correct; if the starting weight per teaspoon is correct yea.

Ok. Uh.
45% P listed on your package is 45% of P2O5. The weight of Oxygen does not add to our phosphorus ppms.

EDIT: Another way
Here is 1 gram per liter of 2 salts each being 100% K2O or P2O5 respectively.
100 PK

Notice how Elemental K is considerably higher than elemental P.

All fed the same way... with diluted koolbloom from day 1 of flower. The flower feed schedule is
day 1,14,21,28,35,42,49,flush,flush,flush,chop

Results look fantastic! :)
I'm confused though, I thought we didn't like Gen Hydro because of the whole Montsanto thing. Or am I totally off base on that one?

Its why i threw up alternatives to koolbloom used in the same way. Some people bought there koolbloom bags before monsanto bought GH shares and the bag last for YEARS

guess if you can use the dilution method for any of these heavy duty bloom products, then use it...I really don't care which brand it is, the whole point is if it works, use it, imho

Forgive me I meant no impertinence. :) We have some very old Gen Hydro ph adjusters we still use. No sense throwing out stuff just because you disagree with a company's current morality.
Okay, so just use your feeding schedule with any of the alternatives you listed above and it will work the same?
