Interesting information on fertilizing

I just received my AVSA Mag. The "Question Box" has an interesting question and answer

Question: You've suggested using a balanced fertilizer, such as a 20-20-20 formula but the only balanced formulas that I can find are 7-7-7 and 10-10-10. Can I use these?

Answer: We do suggest using a "balanced" formula, where the proportions of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) ae relatively equal. It's been our experience thatthese formulas produce the lushest, healthiest plants, and plenty of bloom without the need of excessive doses of phosphorus (i.e. "bloom boosters"). Any of the formulas you mentioned would be fine. All of them have the same relative amounts of these three important nutrients. Just follow the directions on the container for dilutions when feeding every time you water. The manufacturer has already accounted for the strength of the fertilizer when determining the appropriate dilutions. If using a wicking, or other constant watering method, FERTILIZE AT ONLY 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE RECOMMENDED DILUTION SINCE PLANTS WATERED THIS WAY PROCESS MORE WATER (AND MORE FERTILIZER) THAN THOSE THAT ARE NOT.

Ralph Robinson of the Violet Barn gave the answer.

This is really great information since quite a few of us have started wick watering.

Thanks Nanna Great info :))

OK! Time to cut back a little more on the fertilizer.... although my plants are budding & blooming pretty well now.

Thanks!
