The specific ratios of NPK are not a precision thing and you have a lot of leeway.  We generally prefer fairly well balanced fertilizers (aka, all purpose or relatively even ratios) as the plants benefit from all three of the main macronutrients.  But, you will also see success with less balanced ratios.  Some gardeners prefer focusing more on nitrogen (so, first number in the ratios) in early growth phases.  Hope that helps!]]></description>
