After much research and even a poll here, I have come to the conclusion that boosters are unnecessary unless you need to quickly rectify a deficiency. Some people swear by them, but the science doesn't support it. Here are my autos, on day 38.
The short one is only on day 27 and I FIMmed it experimentally.

More nutrients do not equal bigger yields.

Your plant looks decent but already has some burned tips. It doesn’t look to me like it needs any extra nutrients.
Do they use more p and k in flower or no? Just recently got into the same ratio throughout (jacks, canna, dynagro, ect) and it works fine so are seperate blooms nutes kinda a scam?

They need more p and k in flower, yes. Also less nitrogen is better during flower, but ferts with ridiculous amounts of p are unnecessary. They will use more p, but they can only use so much. More will just cause your baby to compete to get the other nutrients it wants.

Some genetics may use a bit more, but most good nutrients have plenty. Most 2-3 parts can also have their volume adjusted if you notice a plant needs a bit more of anything.
