I would use it. The directions are very good. It is slightly lower in potash (K20) than I'd like, but a once per year supplement would take care of that. The sulfur content is high, perhaps to offset the pH of the Magnesium Oxide. I would mix it with several liters of water in a bucket and check the pH. If it is too acidic (below 6), then Potassium Bicarbonate would be the ideal choice to raise the pH. I would target about 6.2 pH.

Thanks for your answer!

There is also hakaphos naranja (15-5-30 > look like banana fuel?)

But i can't find retailer for this one.

Almost. That formula is typically used in combination with other nutrients in a hydroponic setting.

you are right Richard, in Safety data :

pH: about 5 at 100 g / l (20 ° C)

("usual" mix is 2 g / l)
