Glad I could help a little, rather than make it more confusing, which I can tend to do.
I have gotten to a point, with whatever nutes, where I don't focus so much on PPM/EC any longer. I will check it when I up/lower the dose initially, so I DO basically know where I'm at, but I just don't obsess, or wet the bed, over it. And from there, I just watch the plants to see what they are telling me. These plants can handle so much more than the "proper common rules and practices" wish to dictate. Whether or not you should do that? Dunno. I think it is entirely strain, and goal, dependent.
I do seem to end up around 3g of the V1/2 around the end of veg, as well.
If you drop to around 2g of each in veg, then there is the possibility that you may want to add a little calmag here and there. If you look on the Floraflex site, they have their "old" feeding charts on there if you are not running the no calmag schedule, and it does recommend calmag here and there. All of their schedules line up with my own observations. So that is helpful.
I honestly don't know much about the history of Floraflex. So it seems like they don't get talked about a bunch. I just know that their main office is literally located around the corner from me. I suppose that it's formulated for the same water? But I used to pass it all the time, and decided to look it up. Turned out that the RocBud guy uses it so I decided to give it a try. I do really like it.
The Bulky B and Full Tilt additives are, IMHO, very beneficial. I suppose something else could be used in their place.
I'm going to pop a Mephisto Mango Smile once I can clear the 4x4 out. And I want to see how that goes with the Floraflex.
Like your style! It is a weed after all and people can take things to extremes. I am one of those tinker kinda people that likes to know all the little details with some things and completely go with the flow in others. Being new(er) I tend to obsess and hover a little too much!
I started with Flora Flex as well from the Rocbud guy. Someone I know is friends with him...Headed to Portugal after Christmas so I will be taking a break, but have some Mango smile and Alien V Triangle on deck. Will be very interested in seeing how yours go!!! Many thanks!!!
