the NPK ratings are just percent by mass of N, P2O5 (equivalent), and K2O (equivalent).

If you mix 2 formulas, you'll get somewhere in the middle.

Obviously mixing a formula with 10% N and a formula with 15% N won't give you a formula with 25% N, if you get what I'm saying.

thankyou church haze that's very helpful and saved me about 400$ when I actually got out to plant prod lol so I grabbed 90kg of there 20-20-20 for veg and 90kg of there 15-15-30 for blooming that should do the trick for my baby's eh I remember back in 2012 I had a giant grow just the wrong strains (afghan kush, and an og/purple kush mix strain) well atleast the plants were giant it was only about 20-30 plants though ( they were suppose to finish late ocotober and my climate gets colder and wetter around then lost over 50% of yield to rot) but I didn't plant those until mid June and the payback would of been huge around a pound a plant and that's what I'm looking for this year as well but theese ones are gonna finish September so I should miss all the rain and cold nights getting me what i need! Not to mention I put fertilizer only one time acouple wars back watering once a week and still got crazy results this year I will be watering twice a week once a week will have nutrients! I also picked up one 15kg bag of 10-52-10 as a rooting agent is there ever a too early time to give them this? If you want too see my old plants look up 9ft plants not budding and find the 2012 link it wasn't hard just won't let me do it on my phone from a laptop I found the old pictures in 10minites >:)

To make a long story short. Add the two N-P-K's together, then divide by 2 (if you are using equal amounts of both products).

If you are not using equal amounts of each nutrient, it's a little more complicated. For instance, if you are only using 1/2 as much of "Product X", then you must first multipy Product X's N-P-K by .5 (because you are only using 1/2 as much). Then take the half sized N-P-K and do as above.

It's just math. Badda-bing!
