General Hydroponics Usage?? Help

I am a newbie grower and I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject. My babies are about 2 weeks old as of now and looking good. I started off with heavy harvest, but I am switching to general hydroponics after being referred by a friend and doing some research. I have found several feeding charts online, but they are all for hydro systems. I am growing in soil, so I was wondering which feeding chart I should go by.. I know recirculating wouldn't be what I'm looking for, but the drain to waste seems a little weak. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I will be adding Liquid Karma to my nutrients. I'm not sure if that would factor into the strength of my GH gro-micro-bloom dosage.

Any help at all would be much appreciated as I am kind of using a trial by error method right now. Thanks.

we tried the set with only two bottles at veg and two at flower. at the same time we tried fox farm. both were =. gh was always a mess to mix. fox farm was easy. both of my human think the tast of fox was better but it was a seed crop so it was a harsh smoke no mater what.

we are packing and all the grow stuff is gone. (RandyRocket is working his ass off) so I can't find his note book. it's guessing packed and gone. Ask Randy he'll know he is a good farmer that can't type. (we tell him to just reread it before he posts it or ask MrsRocket or me to check the big posts). He will know he does a lot of researsh over a mount just on nutes. plus he has to check out every thing for him self.

Read the bottle and then mix 1/4 strength and see how your plants do with that, if they do alright then try half strength. I don't think I usually go over half strength.

Ah sorry, I knew I forgot something. I'm using FloraMicro, FloraGro, and FloraBloom along with Liquid Karma.
those are what we used. just follow the std diet not the adv. the gh web sight has the feed sch.

i don't recall flora micro.

i now we have Floranova grow, and Floranova Bloom, Liquid Koboom (some thing). plus one more.

we did ramp up to full strength after 1/4, 1/2, & 3/4 mixes.

Flora micro is part of a different line GH offers. I heard some good things about Floranova, but my local nursery didn't have it in stock. I'm planning on using your method of slowly progressing the strength of the nutrients till I get to full strength. Thanks for the insight
