Lets assume I have a balanced soil. Which fertilizer should I use then in which stage of growth. Should I start with high Nitrogen to boost the plant in the beginning and switch to a bit more P for blooming and after fruit has set to high Potassium? Please no product recommendations and advertising.

High P for root growth
High N for vine growth
P and K for fruit growth

if it was me.. I would feed enough veg to make the plant grow quickly but not so much to bloat out the leafs and vines... I like to see cobra heads at the vine grow tips if they are dragging they need more Nitrogen if they are 2 feet in the air then to much nitrogen has been applied...
I use green gro veg, green gro bloom, and the green gro bury mix.... amend with it broadcast it and add to my bury mix all year I even brew it.... simple to use. doubt its in Germany though

Too much N will cause aborting ,stop using N 2 weeks before pollination
