    SOIL GHE Flora series feeding charts + Cal-Mag (what schedule to use?)

    Hola Amigos!

    Age 101 / in the middle of Week 4 (25 days) 13/11.

    We continue to move through bloom stage, got lil yellowing at the bottom early fan leaves mainly (maybe sprayed by Nuts during previous roots feeding), but buds seems like starting to grow bigger from now on!

    There is a very pleasant moment I wanna share - I switched to GHE & Advanced Nutrients products:
    - GHE Flora 3-in-1 base nuts;
    - AD Cal-Mag-Xtra (Ca+Mg+Fe+Micros+Amino Acids supplement for RO water);
    - AD Revive (First Aid / Foliage supplement).

    I've got some questions on feeding charts in this regard and supplements. Made a comparison to those on the web and would appreciate your comments much on the issue!

    Last movements:
    • Yesterday I made a lil flush ~20 L (18L pot size) with RO water / ph runoff=8 / ppm runoff=200 at the end of a day.
    • Then added AN Revive 100% by Roots (ph5-6) and 100% by Foliage (ph7-8) + Mycoz bacteria for the night.
    • Btw, 4 days ago I feeded her 50% old Bloom nuts (2,5:4:5) for vegetables by Roots.
    Plans:
    Giving 2 days break for now before next feeding:
    1. 1L RO water easy flush
    2. 1L Solution (50%Flora base nuts [Gro-25%] + 50%Cal-Mag-Xtra + 1ml Honey) by Roots
    Different GHE Flora feeding charts:
    Found 4 different Feeding charts like: original GHE for drain-to-waste mediums, Growweedeasy chart (GWE), Lucas formula and Tableau K.
    * Can't get what "Tableau K" schedule is, found it over web due to Nuts dealer advice (stated to start from 50%).

    I've made a kind of comparison of these feeding tables to make my mind on what to choose and for better understanding - found Tableau K schedule as interesting, but looks like GHE & GWE recommend lower dosages and the thing I liked - GWE combines it with Cal-Mag.

    Also GHE recommends to feed like up to 1-3 times in a row before just watering and GWE says to switch 1/1 - that is very complicated point for me as number of feedings increases dosages per week in numbers.

    Feels like it should be controlled at hand inspecting visual state of the plant and the dosages in feeding schedules mainly control the Solution not to ger _Hypertonic_ and get the plant Plasmolyzed (it's my guess, idk why such a big difference in feeding frequency).

    So, I got some questions by now if you can suggest smth:

    1) what feeding schedule u find more appropriate to meet my early-mid Bloom stage;
    2) do u use Honey vs Molases (I checked, they don't differ much, but honey seems more pure apart from sugars compounds)?
    3) Is it a good idea to use Base nuts + Cal-Mag-Xtra by Foliage (what **%**)?
    4) If I get ph8 runoff, what ph of Solution u think should be (how long can I move it down)?

    Thanks in advance!
