what would be a good fertilizer for a tomato just beginning to flower?

If you can think of a particular brand, please say otherwise just any ideas (ie the right blend of nutrients, appropriate NPK, etc.) Thanks.

1. miracle grow makes a tomato specific fertilizer. Generally, flowering plants will benefit from an increase in the nutrient P, or phosphorus. During flowering, you want the phosphorus to be higher than the nitrogen. Phosphorus is the middle number on fertilizer. i.e. 10-12-10 will contain 10%nitrogen (first #) 12% phosphorus (2nd#) and 10% potassium (3rd #)
