Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom A&B Question

I'm 5.5 weeks into flowering and everything is looking good so far. The plants should be 8-9 week flowering strains. I'm using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom A&B and some other additives from the Hobbyist Bundle (which at this stage means adding Bud Candy, B-52 and Overdrive). This is my first time using the AN nutrient line.

The AN feeding schedule says to use both Sensi Bloom A & B throughout the entire flowering cycle (except for the final flushing period). Part A is 3-0-0 and Part B is 2-4-8. I'm questioning why I would be using Part A, which is all Nitrogen, in late stage flowering. It seems like Part B would have enough N for these final weeks.

For anyone that has experience with Sensi Bloom - do you actually use both parts A & B for the entire flowering stage?

When I ran Sensi I stuck with the recommended dosages but when I did grow, micro, bloom in veg I went 1.5, 1.5, 0.5 and in flower I went 0.5, 1.5, 1.5.
essentially at this point its to keep the leaves green to enable photosynthesis in order to give off energy to produce a nicer flower
You could lower the A and up the B if you so choose just don't go ham, I tend to amp up the P.K values I give mine 2 weeks before I start my flush

There are other nutrients in the A part that aren't in the B part so if you cut out the A make sure to compensate for any other missing parts. Check the label to figure out what you need. I tried the Conney years ago but didn't like the lack of control or the extra price for no benefits I could see so just went back to the good old 3-part, Big Bud and some Rhino Skin. Any old CalMag will do and most of the other stuff is just there to empty your wallet.

Thanks! Rookie mistake on my part, I didn't even check to see what was in the A & B besides the three macro nutrients. I'll keep sticking with the recommended AN feeding schedule for this grow. The plants are looking and smelling good, so I should probably stop trying to fix what isn't broken.

I never follow their schedule as they use too high amounts and I'd burn the crap out of my plants. Now that you are in flower I'd be using 1/2 and adding some Big Bud until the end of week 5..
