Which NPK ratio choose for Cauliflower?

Cauliflower grows best in a cool and moist environment with temperatures between 50-60°F. Cauliflowers need high levels of nutrients to grow, so they require fertilizers that are rich in nitrogen (N), potassium (K) and phosphorus (P). The ideal ratio for NPK is 20:20:20 or 40:40:40. It’s recommended not to use any fertilizer below this level because the crop won’t be able to absorb enough nutrients from its soil source alone. For example, if you were using a 30-30-0 N-P-K ratio instead of one at 100% strength like ours; its foliage wouldn’t turn green but stay white due to insufficient nitrogen levels.
