Difference Between Feeding Based on Growth or Week

Ok. So I’m ready to start feeding Grow #2 and have chosen the Gen Hydro Pro Performance Line. Their site provides general feeding guidelines for their products but they confuse me with regard to whether I feed based on a weekly growth or a stage of growth. Can somebody look at the 3 attachments and let me know either the difference or which schedule I should use, please? Last time I just used half the recommended amount on the bottles for a few weeks and then to the labeled full strength. There were no choices. I hope somebody here uses the brand and can advise me.
I am indoor. 5x6x8’tent. VS4000 FS LED. Bells. Whistles. Yada. Yada. Thanks.



Hello @ShureGreen. I too had that same dilemma when I first used the GH three part Flora line. I added floralicous Plus that first time out. Had an excellent grow outdoor in soil. I stuck to the bottle recommended rate for week 1 then just added water every day to top off the rest of the week. It’s hot in Texas sulfuring the summer so I needed water most days.
On week 2 I used the recommended rate and again topped off the remainder of the week.
If your outdoors you have many more weeks of veg so I would extend veg reeding for a few extra weeks until week 6. At week 7 I started the late veg rate to start the week then top off with water the remaining days of the week. This rate continues until week 10. Week ten I would start the early flower rate and again top off with water the remainder of the week until week 12. We 12 started using the early flower dose and top with water the remainder of the week. Until week 14 and then used the late flower and top with water the remainder of the week. I continued this late flower dosing until Trichomes were about ready then I would do a flush week with the recommended dose with water to top off the remainder of that last week.

Now I am growing indoors and have switched to the 10 part expert series. I follow that dose in the aggressive schedule. I have also added Hydroguard to the mix since I’m in water medium and need to the benefic microbes to help root zone remain healthy.
Botanicare Hydroguard Bacillus Root Inoculant. Hydroguard is a product that contains a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which can help cannabis plants grow healthy and strong roots. Hydroguard works by decomposing organic matter in the soil or hydroponic medium and making the nutrients more available for the roots to absorb. Hydroguard also helps prevent and treat root diseases such as damping off, which can cause the roots to rot and die. Hydroguard can be used with every watering from seedling to harvest, and it is compatible with most types of growing systems and nutrients. Hydroguard is one of the best root stimulators for cannabis because it enhances the symbiotic relationship between the roots and their environment, resulting in bigger and better yields.
