Heavy flowering fertilizer anyone experimented?

I have seen the fertilizers on amazon with super high P and K. They are usually used for flowers(industry) or weed it seems. I wonder if it would have any effect on figs. Isnt it a flower of some sort. If it did I wonder what effect it might have. Making a ton of figs or making huge figs or speeding up the time to ripen. If someone thinks its not a total waste I might try it out next year. I figured I would link a few of those products, hopefully the links work. Just contemplating and wondered if anyone else has thought about it.

Baud mentions that fig need mainly potassium. Adding nitrogen will encourage vegetative growth and slow down or even completely prevent ripening. I am also looking for high P-K ratio fertilizers for next season, as on my in ground unknown this year i had one single fig get close to ripening, while the bush has 7ft branches and many green figs that will not make it. I was feeding it a 14:7:21 ratio water soluble since it had severe frost damage last winter, but now I think that nitrogen was too much.
My potted plants are too small to produce fruit so i gave thrm the same fertilizer to grow leaf.
