Its my understanding that Tomato feeds such as Tomorite and Phostrogen are essentially the same thing - both being high in Potassium.

Is nitrogen the same as potassium?
My understanding is that the major chemicals, ie the salts of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium are very simple chemicals and are all essentially the same, irrespective of the name on the box. They are probably all bought in from the same chemical manufacturer such as ICI (as was). What's important is the ratio. As Nitrogen is good for foliage growth, as Kristen said, I use Miraclegrow early on in the season before the plant starts to flower. As Potassium is good for flowers and fruit, I switch to a high Potassium feed later in the season when things start to flower.
