Help- auto flower - basic 65 day nutrient schedule?

Can someone please breakdown a basic autoflwr nute schedule, nothing brand specific.

Just veg nutes, flwr nutes, seaweed, molasses, flush.

When to start, add, adjust, switch, flush etc.

These seeds are rate from 55-65 days

Thanks my wonderful friends for your valuable input!
 
plain pH tap water for first two weeks, veg nutes until switch to transition. Some people transition as soon as pre flowers appear, I use veg for an extra week to help with the stretch then transition for a week and then move to flower nutes. Calmag at full strength from week 1 since I grow in coco but base nutes at half strength. then I flushed and just gave plain pH water for last week.
 
Are you half strength nutrients throughout veg and flower?
when do you add calimajic OzBud????
 
I think i did plain pH water first week
Water + full strength CALiMAGic then adjust pH from week one until week two
week two onwards water + Full strength CALiMAGic + half strength GH Flora trio then adjust pH. did that until a week before harvest, did a big flush then just plain pH water until harvest
 
Auto's require much LESS nutrients.

My last auto- was seed in the final pot of roots organic original soil- then drop 1/2 flowertab (Nirvanashop) @ week #3.
Ph'd water from time to time. No nutrient deficiencies etc..
 
So while not being brand specific, what are the NPKs for these nutes for the stages you're recommending

Here is my hypothetical autoflwr nute schedule

0-0-0 (week 1-2)
3-6-3 for initial veg (week 3)
6-12-6 final veg (week 4)
3-6-9 initial flwr (week 5)
1-3-11 week 2 flwr (week 6)
0-0-5 +molasses-seaweed* week 3 flwr (week 7)
0-0-0 final flwr (week 8)

Keep in mind I use a living organic soil and organic ingredients so brand names mean nothing to me, only NPK ratios.

How do these specs look?
I'm interested in all opinions, corrections, and recommendations regarding NPK ratios.

*the molasses-seaweed comes from a local owned organic growers store that's been around for 40+ years. I trust their products. Ideally I've read that molasses can be critical to the final process and the local made product came highly recommended. Anyone else use a molasses seaweed combo before??
 
How do you know you are getting such exact measurements each week on your NPK? I do question your figures for vegging period. I thought the N and K were high and the P was slightly lower during vegging?
 
Careful measurement and years of experience farming fields of various crops. Organic chemistry schooling or knowledge is a must to farm properly. Knowing which elements are provided through organic matter and achieving proper weight ratios is critical in formulating one's own natural nutrient fertilizers. Especially when having to adapt to and alter a field of soil to adjust its properties and be more suited for said crops. Its not rocket science but science none the less.
 
So you are basically adding each of your chemical nutrients separately, basically making your own? That would explain getting it exact. I commend your vast knowledge on fertilizers, soil and farming!
 
I say nutrients because it's easier for others to understand and provide the numerical input I seek. I'm simply interested in emulating the npk of trio formulas, using instead organics, and creating my own trio from the ground up. Specially for use in Auto flowering
