Try using the search facility - masses of stuff on nutes in hundreds of threads.

No, phosphorus(P), not potassium(K).

10-10-10 will work until you flower them, then you dont want so much Nitrogen(N).

No you want to increase Phosphorus(P) during flowering and lower the Nitrogen, Im not sure what Potassium does for marijuana to tell you the truth, but you are right , you are just getting potash and phosphorus mixed up.

Potassium is required in the accumulation and translocation of carbohydrates. Lack of potassium will reduce yield and quality.
equally as important as phosphorus intake.
