Cannabis as a plant takes their recommended dosing really well. I've only had 2 strains that have needed less. I'd flush then start at half and work up from there.

I use GH floragrow and florabloom, I use FFOF soil and do not nute for first 3 weeks, half strength nutes after 3 weeks for about 2 weeks. Then I veg for one month using full strength nutes, nuting every 3 days. In flower I would use full strength the entire 8-9 weeks, nuting 2-3 times a week with watering inbetween. My plants react very well to this schedule.

/e I use floranova grow and floranova bloom, not just the floragro, florabloom, and floramicro. Although I do assume they are very similar.

I used the so-called Useless schedule.[1] It worked great. It's stronger than the typical half-strength people usually tell you to run, but didn't burn (much). Below are the details of the what the schedule produces. You can recreate those NPK ratios using any fertilizer products using this spreadsheet.

FWIW: GH Flora 3-part is a hydro fertilizer. It's not ideal for soil. I switched to Grow More Sea Grow and it's working as well (for 1/10th the cost). My schedule is a few posts further in that thread.

--------------- R A T I O S
-------- N-P-K ----------- K-Mg-Ca -------- PPM
VEG
week-1 1.32-1.00-2.41 -- 6.76-1.00-2.15 --- 418
week-2 1.85-1.00-3.06 -- 8.08-1.00-2.82 --- 721
week-3 2.06-1.00-3.31 -- 8.54-1.00-3.07 --- 830 [2]
BLOOM
week-1 1.00-1.29-1.88 -- 4.54-1.00-1.77 --- 1020
week-2 1.00-1.47-1.70 -- 3.75-1.00-1.90 --- 1065
week-3 1.00-1.52-1.71 -- 3.65-1.00-1.88 --- 1218
week-4 1.00-1.72-1.87 -- 3.53-1.00-1.66 --- 1334
week-5 1.00-2.21-2.25 -- 3.33-1.00-1.31 --- 1395 [3]
week-6 1.00-2.70-2.36 -- 2.91-1.00-1.23 --- 1421
week-7 1.00-3.16-2.72 -- 2.88-1.00-1.05 --- 1384

That's the results using the unmodified schedule. However, I added GH liquid Koolbloom (LKB) during flower, and powdered Koolbloom (PKB) the final week (prior to 10-20 days of water only). The following is how it turned out:

week-2 1.00-1.92-2.16 -- 4.75-1.00-1.90 -- 1275 [4]
week-3 1.00-2.12-2.31 -- 4.95-1.00-1.88 -- 1534 [5]
week-4 1.00-2.53-2.68 -- 5.07-1.00-1.66 -- 1755 [6]
week-5 1.00-4.09-3.34 -- 5.07-1.00-1.22 -- 1165 [7]

[1] Useless schedule: http://forum.growkind.com/showthread.php?t=35174#.UmIsPhDK7Kc
[2] Repeat until bloom.
[3] Cut dose in half if using bloom booster.
[4] 2ml/gal LKB
[5] 3ml/gal LKB
[6] 4ml/gal LKB
[7] Cut base nutes in half, as described in the Useless schedule. Use 1.25g/gal PKB.

Yes, floranova grow and floranova bloom. I do add in a dutchmaster root builder and add-27, but this is not necesarry. As long as you keep the dosages low and water your plants, and keep them in a good environment they'll do just fine. Water, Water, Nute in later veg stage. Water, then nute when dry and pot is light, then water when dry and so on..

It's called Lucas. I've never used it. But if I were going to monkey with GH's multi-part products to eliminate a bottle or bag, I'd just use an inexpensive product like Jack's Classic or Grow More and mix it to get a desirable NPK ratio.

Eliminating "Grow" bottles seems haphazard to me. I'm sure a person can grow with less bottles. But, seems like more thought could be put into it than "hey, if you ditch this bottle it works ok."

Just follow the link to the schedule. Do what it says. What I posted is what results from mixing three bottles using the amounts give in that schedule. It's just info, not the schedule. If the schedule works well for you and you ever wanted to switch to a different fertilizer product, you could mix products to get the same results (NPK ratio, PPM strength).

The details I posted don't include the ppm of the tap water. Just what the mixture of three bottles produces (if mixed using the amounts in the schedule).
