Hello! Is this a good fertiliser for veg stage? And how often should I use it and how? Should I just put it around the plant and work in to the soil or should i dilute it in water? I’m growing autoflower sour diesel indoors 🌱 thank you! 💚

It's one of those 'add some and see for yourself when you need more'... Ideally when you water until run off you will want to add more fertiliser once the previous dose has dissolved completely because even if there are some nutrients left in the soil, you wash them out. For veg phase there is definitely not enough potassium, you will need to add another fertiliser rich in K. For flower you will need to add both phosphorus and potassium. If you add cal-mag you may get nitrogen toxicity (as most cal-mag feeds also contain N). What worries me is the text at the bottom, that no plant should be used as food for minimum 3 weeks after adding this fertiliser. Of course you smoke weed, not eat it, but it still seems dodgy. I would worry about the harvest quality.

That’s low in K in my opinion for veg too.

Looks ok but dosage instructions are pretty vague - I would be hesitant to treat it as a full base nutrient unless you can get a proper dosage chart - you will need to add P&K later down the line (a decent organic bloom booster combo like bb bloom and topmax) as PK is quite low in that mix to support flowering plants and watch out that you dont put too much down cause you can still cause issues with dry organics in high concentrations - I would say try starting at a dose of 2-5% of your total amount of soil by weight and have guano / bb bloom, algamic & top max on standby for later on.

NPK is good for vegetation, but K is low for flowering.
