NPK 35 - 15 - 55 for veg?

[967]

Is this a suitable NPK for veg? It's a locally made brand, it is a veg nutrient just wondering if that NPK would be suitable for coco?

Does the higher numbers mean its a higher concentrate or are they just upselling it? Should really be 7 - 3 - 11 right?

Why so high potassium? I'm growing in coco so could be handy..

Just wondering what y'all think based on those numbers

Cheers

Many local brands are made for outdoor gardens and lack Ca and Mg , so check the label

Elemental values at 1 g/L or 3.78 g/gal 350ppm N, 66ppm P, 456ppm K
Higher numbers = higher concentrate
In my experience too much K was the reason for my difficulty with Ca lockout , when I reduced K and increased Ca my coco behaved better

Well the obvious problem with npk at more than 100% is that it leaves no room for a micronutrient package.....
