Input question

So still on NPK fertilizer ratio for different growing stages of chili pepper plants, I’ve been using a 3-1-1 so far on my new seedlings along with some SuperThrive vitamin mix and most seem to be growing. I want to know what ratio should I change to after up potting them to six inch containers? I thinking the next stage before blooming occurs should focus on stem strength while continuing to support new leaf growth. Then finally a NPK that supports flowering and chili peppers!
