Question about general hydroponic nutes

I have been using GH nutes since the veg stage of my plants, now they have been in flowering and I have been following the directions on the back of the bottles. I am using the three bottle set of Flora grow, flora macro, and flora bloom. Does any one have any thoughts or experience with these?
1. can I increase or decrease the amounts specified on the bottle?
2 what other blooming nutes are good to use/

i have heard that the flora series are very good nutes .
i started using the GH Total gro , Total Bloom . im still a week or two from flowering , so i have no idea how they will do.
but for now the amounts seems about right , the plant is growing nicely and is total green without any burns .


as for inreasing the amount / decreasing . if u fear the amount on the bottle is alot , then decreasing is always a good option
decrease the amount , and alternate feed the plant , if the plant is doing fine , then slowely by alternating feeding her , increase the amount .
alternating feeding - means u feed her 1 time with nutes , and the next time without . it gives u some time to see how the plant is adjusting
to the nutes.

as for increasing the amount that sais on the bottle , again u do this by alternate feeding her but this time , 2 water : 1 nutes ,
increase by a 0.5ml per liter of water . and again look for signs for burns .

i wouldnt increase the amount that sais on the bottle.

always look for signs of nute burns or signs on the plant for needing more nutes . theres are some stickies in the forum that explains
everything about what signs to look at the plant for which problem .

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it. I followed the directions just like it say's on the bottle during veg and they came out very well. I think I am go to live by the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Since this is my first time I will wait to the next one to see if adding any kind of blooming nutes helps. the pic is one of the plants I have been using the DH nutes on, this plant vegged for 6 weeks and is in its 10th day of flowering. What do you think?Thanks PEACE:peace:

I use the GHE one part total grow, and its the cheapest fert available around here. It is crap.
After switching to Hesi Coco when I started flowering everything started to look MUCH healthier.

However, I've seen OWESOME results using the flora nova series.

actually im using the total gro , and my plants are really green , no burns , no signs of lack of nutes .

i wont go and say its total crap just from one result .

3 plants that got better after switching nutes is enough for me.

I found the same results with a few fellow growers.

Have you tried another fert in the same setup? with totalgro my plants were green and nice, with other ferts my plants became MONSTERS.
