Simple nute upgrade for flowering?

These are my ladies:) first time grower. 11 days into 12/12

Chocolope, Amnesia, Jack Herer, and Big Bud under 1 x 600w and 1 x 400w hps

I have only used the general hydroponics nutes in the pic and cal mag. I'm looking for a simple addition to my nutes to enhance flowering....any tips? I'm a simple guy and I would rather not follow in the footsteps of the growers that have 20 bottles. No offense, haha... maybe one day I will be capable of a complex nutrient regiment.

Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, mofo. That is very interesting to me. I love that, actually. Any chance I can get your feeding schedule? Haha... 3 bottles? Lawd yes!
flora duo is easy to use in veg and bloom. 2:1 a to b for veg, 1:3 a to b for bloom

cal/mg is use at 2 to 4 mL/gal as needed since i use RO water.

silica i use at 1 mL/gal for seedlings and then 2 mL/gal up until about 2 weeks to chop

i actually follow more of a EC curve for my grows:

0.2 for seedlings, 0.6 for early to mid veg, 1.2 for rest of veg until 2 weeks to chop, then 0.6 until chop.

Very cool...thanks!

Your ec curve hurt my head. I get it but just lazy. EC is a way that ppm can be measured?
forget ppm. use EC instead. it's less confusing. EC is EC. ppm is ppm depending on what conversion factor your meter uses.

My meter, i think, measures EC but translates it into ppm. maybe I can change the mode to show EC? I'm all for simple. would it be fine to start introducing silica to my plants?
