Flip a coin. They all work but I've mostly used AN for the last 19 years and still do. 3-part with Big Bud for my bloom booster and Rhino Skin for some silica. Any old CalMag will do and some Epsom salts once in a while. All the other crap they have is a nice way to lighten your wallet. lol
If you use RO water you don't ever have to mess with the pH and shouldn't. That's a real nice feature in my lazy-ass books.

Yes but usually referred to in the order of GMB, Grow, Micro and Bloom which is odd as you're supposed to always add the micro first then either/or both of the others. Unless using CalMag then that should go in first they say. If you are going to use a potassium silica product other than Rhino Skin then that has to go in first so you can pH the water back down to around 7 before adding any other stuff but if your nutes are low pH it makes great pH Up.
I think on the bottle it say to add micro first then grow an bloom. I was thinking on using house & garden amino treatment for silica or is it multi zenYes but usually referred to in the order of GMB, Grow, Micro and Bloom which is odd as you're supposed to always add the micro first then either/or both of the others.

I'm not sure about those. Aminos are good but aminos aren't silica and I have no clue what Multi Zen is. Check the ingredients for silica. It will have K2SiO3, (potassium silicate), SiO2, (Silicon Di-Oxide). It is not critical to have but helps strengthen the plant and make it more impervious to some diseases like powdery mildew. With real soil there is some naturally so it's used mainly in hydro grows.

I use Canna Flores A +B, mainly for the pH neutral Silica
Do you use it at full strength 4ml-4ml-4ml per gallonYes but usually referred to in the order of GMB, Grow, Micro and Bloom which is odd as you're supposed to always add the micro first then either/or both of the others.

Never. Rarely went over 2ml/L unless the plant was looking real hungry then maybe 3 and only fed every 2nd watering.
