Does this just stand for the percentages contained inside the fertilizer?

i think its total weight as well. 20-20-20 would mean 20% of total. so if it is 1 KG, 200g-200g-200f

if it was of each other, maybe there is only 100g total nutrient put into the 1 kg fertilizer and 20-20-20 would then mean that of the 100g nutrients only 20g-20g-20g and the rest is other stuff.

that sound right?

i am assuming liquid ferts would be by volume? or dry weight before mixing it in???
