It's a judgment call if your plant is all clawed up and the tips are burnt ....u might need to ease them into an aggressive feed depending on synthetic or organic will very greatly in your schedule and method of operations .... but usually I feed week 1 2x in that week 1 silica and usually a lil ph water here and there as they need it ...
Ok and do I use all 3 flora grow/micro/bloom? Or bloom just in flowering

U determine the length of your veg... if your plants not as big as u want it or it gets big fast as hell u might jump or fall back a week and same thing with flowering it's a general rule of fmthjmb trial and error will teach you in your environment it's most likely different then my environment

with tbe flora series grow\micro\bloom feed chart says for 1 gallon its micro 1\4tsp gro 1\8 bloom 1\8 is it those measurements mean 1 gallon of water you give your plants you put micro 1\4,gro 1\8,bloom 1\8 or does it if your pots are 5 gallons you add the measuremens 5 times

Want to make this mixing stuff really, really easy?

- Get a new five gallon pail, with a lid
- Measure out four gallons, and add it to the pail
- Put a marker line at the four gallon mark
- Using the label on the bottle, add in the proper amount of each bottle for four gallons of water for the phase of growth you're in. Stir gently but vigorously after adding in from each bottle. Shaking or causing oxygenation will dramatically throw the pH out of whack
- Now you have four gallons of fertilizer for your plants
- Let the pail sit for 30 minutes, then pH to the appropriate amount for the medium you're in
- Liquid is now ready to use
- If you didn't use the entire four gallons, put the lid on the pail, and stir (not shake!) it before use next time

Doing it in larger quantities allows you the freedom of not fumbling with tiny measuring spoons, your quantities will be larger and the mixed solution will be far more consistent than trying to mix up a Litre at a time.

One last, but most important note... always read the entire label on the back of each bottle. The nutrients have to be mixed in a specific order, with water added in between adding in each bottle of nutrient. If you do not follow these directions, your mixed nutrients will precipitate and fall out of suspension. When that happens, the precipitated nutrients are no longer available for plant uptake/use.
