That makes sense for liquid nutes. Question, I've heard it takes 2 weeks for top dressed dry/organic ammendments to become available to soil, so then should I top-dress at week 3 (day 21) in a 5gal container of Ocean Forest? That way nutes become available right at week 5.
So I am using FFOF and didn't need anything added until after the first month, then i just incremented up slowly when i saw signs it was looking for more nutrients. Then I did a topsoil dressing at 4 weeks and saw no issues. This is just my experience from one grow lol. so not much experience but one trial by fire.

I should add, that when I first got everything together it showed signs of nutrient burn and that was just from the soil alone. It quickly moved past it but still something to look out for.
