Something I can be doing better?

Yes to all of the 5 plants

Okay bud so what you've got there is a 3 part nutrient, all the 3 parts add up to a full spectrum of elements for plant growth, during different stages plants want different ammount sit certain elements, they usually come with a feed schedule where for example:
during veg
3 parts grow - 2 parts micro - 1 part bloom
During early flowering
2-2-2
During flowering
1-2-3

you ever read anything like that? I allways just used 2 part nutes so I'm not massively clued up, do a lot of reading mate

This line uses equal parts of micro grow and bloom throughout the grow. Ratios change along the way though.

If you use equal parts of each throughout the grow how can the ratios change? The ratio is the number of parts of one in relation to the others. Not sure if I'm missing something here but every 3 part I've ever known of relied on changing the ammount of each to tailor the solution to the plants stage of life

Agree with above, also a little leaf defol might help… looks pretty thick in there, blocking light from lower buds. Remove any damaged/dying leaves. And all large fan leaves to get proper airflow.

Each strain has different feed needs nomater what the box says.
And too much nitrogen makes fluffy buds

Look at advanced nutrients feed schedule. The schedule increases as the plant matures but the base nutes stay equal

I havent used normal nutes in a long time.
But i grow with ppms and plants usually start drinking more and eating less ppms at the last few weeks, you can put what you want inside she doesnt take it

I've since moved away from the synthetics. Started perpetual harvests and got tired of so much mixing for different stages. Tried dr earth organics and became a believer.

I just do masterblend with bacteria in hydro, and now i bought some new calcium for late stage flower to test.but its a 3 part nute not much mixing

Yeah this is abit crazy imho, I'm no chemist though, but can clearly see the problems caused by such a regimen, maybe they're relying on you using the whole line up and that's what changes the npk/micro ratios to suit each stage, pretty shady if you ask me but extremely profitable when the marketing is on point. At least general hydroponics 3 part was cheapish and extremely customisable/versatile

Yeah it seems goofy but it works well. Also, the line is chelated. I have no idea how that applies but i feel sciency for saying it. Maybe a plant science person can jump in and shed some light. The upside is that nutes are used up equally. No running out of one or the other. Ditto on the gh trio. Had great grows with that as well.

Chelated helps bind nutes to it and plant can pull it.normally roots cant pick it up.
And nutes are dry soo you dont have the 1year expiration date as all liquid nutes been using the 40€ 600g bags for 4 years now i thinkfor weed and window garden still not empty but getting low
