I'm sorry, but just based on personal experience, I completely disagree with most of this chart.

Why would you hold off on giving silica? Silica is to help plant health and growth by providing what it needs for strong cell walls. Not only that, you want that early AND you want it late when the flowers are growing.

I also do not believe in modifying your 3 main nutrients (micro, gro, bloom) throughout the grow. The Phosphorus in the bloom nutrient is not just needed during bloom, its required for strong root growth. When do you want strong root growth? The entire time the plant is growing!

Absolutely start with a more dilute nutrient solution so you don't fry the plant, but you are not going to hurt it by there being more phosphorus than it needs. It just won't use it. Obviously to an extent, don't cause a lockout.

I also think additive nutrients like Koolbloom are stupid. Its just boosting the phosphorus. Why is whoever doing this chart doing that AND also messing with the amount of bloom nutrient? Either koolbloom gives the boost you need...or why are you using it?

I'm sure I'm going to get some hate for this, but this whole chart reads like a bunch of woo woo science BS to me. I would put my time and energy into better lighting and quality nutrients and grow medium. I've seen plenty of weed grown with masterblend that costs 3 cents a gallon. If you're feeling really froggy, add some silica, and maybe something that actually helps the plants absorb nutrients, like humic acid.

Edit - What I am trying to say is, I think there are too many variables changing throughout this chart. I do not feel that it was adequately tested for. Rather it was just someone that thinks they can think like a pot plant that came up with a feed chart, tried it out, and of course it works because it feeds the plant.

The HP was for cleaning the reservoir and not used in the fertigation that threw me at first too as it was not part of the video for mixing the nutrients.
