It looks like you have a hanna meter or are at least on the .5 conversion as your combination above equals about 2.0 EC. Soil or hydro?

During flowering you want to use Just Bloom & protekt, obviously start lower say 400ppm to begin with and up it to about 1200 or whatevfer your plant will take without showing issues. You shouldnt use as much grow during blooms. use about 1/5-1/4 of grow during flowering and up your bloom amount... During bloom you need much less Nitrogen and more P, which is what the bloom formula offers, ading Grow to the mix just gives a little more nitrogen as homebrewer feels bloom is lacking a little N.
Your on the right track though!

I vote for Canna Aqua Vega/Flora as the next nute showdown.

If you were using a promix type soil with no food in it, I'd suggest about 1ml of grow and 2mls of bloom and a teaspoon of protekt per gallon. Make sure that much protekt doesn't throw your pH off. Add enough protekt to get to a pH of about 6.5 which could mean only 2mls of protekt, you'll find out soon enough.

I'd love to see this as well. I have been told their substra line is excellent for DTW- and seen pics to confirm. I am supposed to use it as a benchmark and will against dyna when I get going myself with the new setup...

Flowering plants need all the P they can get, lack of P will effect harvest... This is why I have stated to UP the amount of Bloom nutes.

The directions explicitly state to add Pro-Tekt first and then add grow/bloom and supplements. I think the reasoning behind adding the Pro-Tekt first is so the other nutrients do not get locked out or something like that.
Advice is always appreciated but sometimes I wonder if some advice is unsolicited. This is hb's thread is it not?
It just says never mix concentrates together....I always do it the way reverof described

Guess I shouldn't have stated that the directions are "explicit" without actually checking the bottle again. I could swear that on the bottle of Pro-Tekt it states to add it first to your water and then start adding other nutrients as the silica in Pro-Tekt can precipitate out.

If you don't add protekt first you will get a chemical reaction that turns (whatever) into crystals. That's what I've heard anyway.
