Like the titles says only I will be using both koolblooms, floralicious plus, and budcandy as well as superthrive. Im cutting back on products but want to use more of the important ones. This is not really a question, but want to see how people are pushing it.

Check out homebrewer's journal. He had one that compared GH products (and additives) with Dynogrow. It's not exactly what you're looking for but he does give a complete list of his GH lineup for flowering as well as quantities (I think). Better yet, here's a Link.

Let ask this though. No matter what base nutrients what increments do growers increase their normal feeding per gallon. If I normaly add tsp should I add a quatar more. I know it varies from plant to plant. The thing is I would love to experiment but I can not afford the time or have the space for so much cloning. Im searching google as well.

My nutes have a schedule for weeks 1-6 but I started with less then recommended and worked up. (hydro btw)
Beyond 6 weeks I just continue on the last schedule checking ppm's as sometimes you get some water evaporation increasing the concentration and continue weekly resevoir changes and flush.
Using the ppm meter you can get a handle on how much you are increasing the concentration. I'm at 1500 ppms now in week 3 of flowering.
I also use bud candy and it also says instructions for 1-6 weeks but flowering is rarely done in 6 weeks so from what I have been told you just continue feeding until you are at that last two week point and flush all your nutes.
I have also recently added Gravity and heard/ read it can be dangerous if overdone. So I am starting at 25% of the recommended dose.

Yea I had initially leaned towards GH products and was beginning to think I should add more of their bloom additives and stuff. I had previously used the Lucas formula and found it lacking. Easy but just not enough. When I saw Hb's journal and saw how easy the dyno line up is and getting comparable results to his GH line up (love he did a side by side comparison) I figured it'd be a good nute line for a 1st time grower like myself. Figured he'd have some good info for ya Z since he's had many grows with the GH product line plus additives and there are several posts where he mentions his feeding schedule for both GH and DG lines.

KS, I'm at 710 ppms at the moment and I almost feel like it may be slightly too much lol. I'm now in day 3 of the Dyno change and so far so good.

Well I was going by GH drain to waste expert for my hempy buckets while going over a tad w/ both koolblooms, then adding the full strength botanicare's cal-mag, silicablast, aquashield, superthrive, budcandy, GH floralicious plus and I was having a hard time getting 1000ppm.

Man my head spins thinking of all those bottles lol. When doing drain to waste type systems do you use less per gallon?

No nute burn and standing around 950-975ppm. I think Im going to cut it down to just GH w/ supperthrive and budcandy for my ebb&flow. No I think its actually more per gallon. Ill have to check though.

See I think I over did the feeding this last time. Now there was no burning, but Im going to KISS it this time. Im wodering about the use of superthrive for flowering. I thought it was for healthy roots and it wouldn't effect the buds in a negative way.

What i understand about superthrive is it has B vitamins.

You can get B vit for a lot less $ than ST

Maybe but it is local. So you add S&H usually it will be more. Any ways superthrive is cheap. $10 for 2FL Oz bottle and a drop per gallon. Last forever.
