Dear friend, the higher the NPK doesn’t mean better and bigger plant. If you truly want to produce top quality organic cannabis stay around 10 and I would use that in the global super mix and btw that is for a powder supplement, if you’re referring to liquid that’s way too high in my opinion. It came to a surprise to me that Cannabis with so little fertilizer can produce wonders👍

Too high for cannabis in all but extreme nitrogen deficiency cases. There are much better fertilizers to use that are far more balanced and cannabis friendly. I would generally avoid anything with double digits.

If you use bone meal, guanokalong complete fertilizer 2-5-3, kelp meal ——-all these contain little nitro which would be enough. You only then add a little fish mix and you’re good to go man👍👨‍🌾
