What kind of logic is that? That's like saying you should put tractor tires on a dirt bike, because after all the fact that they were manufactured means they work. Work, yes; in context. Applicable to this context, no. The manufacturer made it for a specific purpose. Houseplant food is made for slow growing evergreen jungle foliage plants. They don't need NEARLY the amount of nitrogen that a vegging cannabis plant does.

That's why all serious cannabis growers use two different base ferts, one for flower and one for veg.

You can unscrew a metric bolt with a metric socket.
You can unscrew an English bolt with a socket measured in 16ths.

Or you can just say the hell with it and use a pair of Vise-Grips for both of them.
