K - Potassium.

Veg plants need a higher P than N ratio
like: 18-24-6 or so....

no not quite right mate.


During vegetative growth the plants need lots of N (nitrogen). They also need a fair amount of P (phosphorus) and K (potassium). A plant food that is 20-10-10, or 30-15-15, or something similar, with trace elements should do a very good job.
During flowering the plants need more P (phosphorus) and more K (potassium) than they did during vegetative growth. They need some N (nitrogen) but not as much as they did during vegetative growth. They also need calcium

a plant food which has an NPK 20-10-10 or 30-15-15 ,more nitrogen is what your looking for during veggie mate

hope helps bud
