Old Reviews Using mixing recipe on back of bottles?

[NikaVolkova]

Hi, a friend gave me a 3 part series of Humboldt nutrients grow, micro, bloom. should I use the mixing instructions on the bottles? because they taper the nutrient ratio slowly when going into flowering. I thought it was better to have a npk value for veg and another for flowering "only 2 diffrient values" this feeding schedule changes ratios multiple times.
Instead can I do:
Grow2, Micro1, Bloom1 ratio for veg
Grow1, Micro2, Bloom3 ratio for flowering
I hope this question is not confusing, Thank you

That is a standard way of mixing 3 part nutrients. If you add up the values for all 3 parts you will see the NPK totals will have higher N during veg but higher P and K during flower. It's not that they are tapering them down, they are just changing the ratios of the mix. I use General Hydronics Flora 3 part and mix the same way. While the ratios they give on the bottles are correct, bear in mind that autos generally can't take more than half strength nutrients, so go easy. Also, autos veg for 5-6 weeks, so stay on the 3-2-1 ratios until you see vertical growth stop. Then switch to the 1-2-3.
