That was so long ago now, and I was around when he posted that up on Cannabis World if I remember correctly.
I was so new back then, and did not have a true idea of how the root mass got the goodies.
But to me that formula is like a stabbing victim, if your stabbed on the street, it could be your end.
If your stabbed by a surgeon, it’s part of a procedure, but stabbed never the less.
To ask what NPK value is useful, I’d ask when during the plants time line?
NPK for seed starting is being stabbed in the street, it will die. They do not need anything then.
NPK, after 4-6 points on a seedling, the grower (surgeon) will apply a tiny portion of all three in equal proportions.
I know this analogy is not correct exactly, but every attempt I made with Lucas, my plants were always hungry for something .
Also back then, most bottled nutrients were following standard outdoor nutrient profiles, so almost every N product was very potent.
Outdoor plants can run off excess nutrients, indoor grower, not so much. That excess stays in the base or in the saucers, getting more and more toxic. That is why so many leech, or flood flush scenarios are around , to rid the root mass of excess.
So much has changed.
I say just use N properly with various degrees of potency at the proper time.
When I mix up or blend my medium, I use like 4 different N suppling organics, to build my mix. Their P K values vary, but I still keep note of them, so when I add P K items I keep the balance.
Sorry just my $.02
