GH 3 Part Addback Advice Needed! Please Help!

I have been in the middle of a heated debate the past few months and was wondering if someone could clear this up for me.
GH's website clearly states that all solutions should be mixed 1-2-3 in bloom, this includes addback nutes on top off days. My friend that is teaching me to grow insists that all addback mixes should be mixed at equal parts. He says that the first mix to fresh water staggers the ratio correctly (1-2-3). Then he goes on with since plants in bloom burn nutes evenly all addback should be done at equal parts to retain the original correct stagger.
Does this sound like a load of crap to anyone else?? To me this seems mathematically inbred.... PLEASE ANYONE HAVE SOME THOUGHTS???

I use gh and they hired actual horticulturists and chemist to make there ratios and calculators...Where did your friend go to college and does he have a multi million dollar nutrient company .... listen to the calculator and live and learn thats all you can do...and not listen to the horse shit that is regergitated from people who dont have bad ass grows

Going by a nute calculator that not made for weed is not a good idea always shoot below whats
Recamended and work up. If your friend been in this game and is teaching you why not do as
He says? He knows more than you. And saying he full of shit makes you look like a not so good
Friend. Those calculators are universal to all plant culture! So maybe just maybe he might know
A thing or too.
 
The calculator is not the point here everyone and there mother knows that if you mix to the back of the bottle u will have problems. It has to do with the ratios, I can make water weak as hell or strong as hell with the same ratios. My point is that GH on their website says to addback in standard ratio. Not some ratio made up after he burnt the shit out of the past 3 grows. He just did 11 ounces off 1k.... I consistently beat him grams per 1 k, this time I did 15 ounces (with standard ratio addbacks and the same strain).
But if someone here has used the hell out of GH 3 part and does equal parts addback every time please let me know, Im looking for opinions.
hellraizer do you use GH 3 part?.... and if so how do you addback?

The only scenario I use something close to that is in transition when I go 1-1-1 but GH calls for equal parts at that time.

I used to use gh and in flower i didnt use grow just micro and bloom and add back was 1/8 the feeding chart
Rec. And in veg i used even ratios g/m/b and add back was 1/8 also. But I never had off the chart results, so
I went to the lucas at for veg was 0/8/16 and same for bloom but soon ran into a def and changed it to
5/8/16. G/m/b and never burned anything after that. Do cutings and early veg at 0/4/8. If you dont know
The concept of not having a grow is the micro has enough nitrogen thus the grow isnt needed. If this doesnt
Help then im sorry for waisting your time.

this might help might not. I use their keep it simple recirculating schedule in a 55 gallon reservoir I mix my ratio for 24 gallons by the millileter. I add micro first EVERY time. But I did work with this guy who each week kept making his mixes stronger, well I get a third more yield wise my way and it works fine.
