There's also the popular "useless" schedule for GH Flora series. I used it on my last grow. Very similar to what you posted, but it doesn't have a "half-strength" thing. It also has some info about how to reduce the nutes when using one of those super hot bloom boosters (like Koolbloom 2-45-28).

I've got a question regarding topping off DWC..
Since we can make our nutrient batch for each reservoir change, would it be okay to make a bit more than needed for the change, and just store the rest? I figured probably not, since there must be some active ingredients that may decay over time.. I ask mostly because I'm working with a ~3-gallon res. and I was going to make about 3.5 from the start, and keep the rest for when I need to top off during the week..

Since Autos are a bit more sensitive to nutes, would it be prudent to just cut the "useless schedule" in half, following the schedule but just having about half the ppm's?? Would the same go for something like the Lucas formula?

3:2:1 and 1:2:3 Grow, Micro, Bloom, is their main feeding schedule set by GH. I found however that using Lucas formula of 1:2 Micro:Bloom works very well, and for me stopped the PH jumping so much during flowering. I managed to get 15oz, or just short of a pound from a Think Different just using GH's their 3 part nutrients. Dont overlook them, they are very good, and one of the pioneers in the nutrient/additives markets when it comes to producing cannabis!
And just to make sure I understand this correctly, you do that throughout the entire grow with the exception of the first couple weeks?? I've read so many different ways to do this and it's kinda confusing.. Also, when you say 1:2, is that one part (whatever the Micro dosing is) and the two part (whatever the Bloom dosing is x2)?? I've got myself a seedling that's going to need feeding soon, and I think I've got it figured out, but I don't want to destroy this by overfeeding.
Also, on their schedule it shows a "Regular" dose which is listed as a "half" dose.. Is that what is meant by using a "half" dose for Autflowers??
Thanks again!!

From what I gathered, most people run GH Flora's 3-2-1 (1-2-3) schedule at half strength. "Useless" is slightly stronger than that, and proportionally higher in nitrogen. I ran the the "useless schedule" at full strength for my first auto grow. I had a touch of nute burn a couple times. Maybe a touch of nitrogen toxicity a couple times too. But, in the end I harvested 6.5 ounces at 101 days.
Personally, I got tired of mixing 3 components at different proportions. I switched to Grow More Sea Grow, a dry fertilizer (The all purpose, bloom and Hawaiian bloom booster). If I lived somewhere I couldn't get this, I'd consider GH's MaxiGrow and MaxiBloom.
To be honest, I don't understand the stage-of-life specific schedules like "Useless." From my calculations, Grow More's Sea Grow All Purpose has more (by weight per gallon) primary nutrients than GH's or "Useless." The plant gets that constant amount throughout veg (except during the first 1-2 weeks when it's 1/4 and 1/2 strength). The plant is doing as well or better than my first grow. (Perhaps my first grow suffered from being my first grow. ha. But, it doesn't seem like the plant needs all that precision. It seems to take what it needs and isn't burned.).
I haven't used the Lucas Ratio. But, from what I've read it's two ratios here -- one for veg (5-10), one for flower (8-16). Those are ml of micro and bloom per gallon water. If I were to try it, I would cut to 1/4 strength for days 5-10, and 1/2 strength for days 10-15. (Depends on whether your soil has nutes.).
It's not clear which schedule is "their schedule." But, "regular dose should be half the manufacturer's recommended dose" seems to be the common rule for any nutrient, autos or photo sensitives. It seems to be the safe way to start, then go higher from there to test where burn occurs (like "Useless" did).
How did you adjust for going past week 7 as Useless has ii written. Iv'e seen autos go up to 12+ weeks as your own grow went 101 days. I just curious what you did past week 7. I sent you a pm on this subject also. I am growing Budda Seeds Magnum & Sweet Seeds Dark Devil In Hempy Buckets in straight perlite with 1200w Led and of course GH Flora 3 part. Any help on tweaking the Useless Formula for longer running autos would be appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

iv got to say i like GH feeds. and has every one give you top info on it,i thought i post this for you,it a good tool for working you ppm

I've read that marijuana has medical effects on the user but do you guys have any idea what healthy benefits does magic mushroom gives? I've read this article about shroom https://www.trufflemagic.com/blog/magic-shrooms-vs-weed/ and it says that it has some benefits too. I dont know if this is entirely true. I want to ask you guys who has some personal experience about this shrooms thing. Thanks to those who will answer!
