NPK is found in 3 numbers. For example: 5-4-5
The N is the percent amount of Nitrogen.
P is phosphorous
and the K is potassium.

As the above poster said an NPK of "1" is unheard of. At least to me as well.

A lack of P causes stunted growth and smaller leaves, leaves turn bluish green and blotches often appear. Stems, leaf stems and main veins turn reddish-purple starting on the leafs underside. Hope that helped ya.
