Im on my 1st grow, Im using Mega Crop only and they appear to be growing fantastic. I learned about Mega Crop on here, and they send out free samples.

Add nothing but PH water @6.3 - 6.5 .... FFOF is nute heavy by itself and prebuffered to 6.3 right out of the bag. It can carry your plant up to 6 weeks.
Then after transition and stretch ( around 2 weeks into flower ) THEN you can begin some bloom supplements.

With LED grows - Whether Blurple or other led ..
Calmag May be necessary to soil to help plants uptake from time to time.
LED grows sometimes have calmag issues and are easy to correct via feed or Foliar ( during veg ) ... lurk photos showing leaf symptoms to school yourself in what to look for.
FFOF is a good medium but sometimes is a little hot for some strains , it may show some slight leaf burn sometimes, but ignore it so plant can acclimate to it. Plant will learn to live in it .
Big mistakes happen when growers add more nute to an already nute heavy mix.
As you do more grows , you can CUT DOWN the soil’s potency by doing ratio mixes like 70/30 or 50/50 with a mild potting mix.
Example : Use FFOF in bottom 1/3 of container and top with a mild mix for a Super Soil like grow , roots explode in lighter mix then hits FFOF at bottom for extra Nutes.
If you start throwing this and that at an auto , it will cause you more headaches.
Less is more with autos.

Cal-mag is just a marketing tool.

I always add cal-mag to my nutes. Cal-mag deficiency is probably the most common problem I have seen on the forums along with over watering and nute burn. It's not going to hurt to add cal-mag every time you feed and it could save you a lot of worries. I also recommend ph'ing your nutes and using good clean water. These steps aren't necessary to have a good grow, however it's all an ounce of prevention. When you have just 1 or 2 plants and something goes wrong you are back to square 1 without a decent crop on is way..
Week 4, 5 or 6 I start adding nutes to autos depending on how they look... They really don't need much.. You could probably skip veg nutes and just give them flower nutes which would save a little $..

Note the word "steady" (Soil likes consistency). I always add cal-mag once I start feeding but I let the plant dictate whether it's 1 ml or 5 per gallon, good luck

By all means... add nutes then calmag, stir and PH adjust..
I don't think that PH'ing is super important with buffered nutes in soil, but if you're way off for an entire grow it can cause some ugly problems..
If you use calmag and ph your nutes and you do run into an issue it's easy to rule out these factors..
