Grow/Bloom Nutes

In the next week or two I'll be changing to bloom nutrients. I've read you need to taper off the grow when you start the bloom nutrients so they will overlap. I've done some reading on this but not sure on what to do exactly as there are variations between guides so thought I'd get some opinions from here.

I've read autos only need 1/2 strength nutes. So I'll be up to 1/2 strength grow, should I start on 1/4 strength bloom? Then next feed 1/4 grow and 1/2 strength bloom? Then next feed no grow? Also can they be mixed in the same jug? I've read it's not good to mix some things together as they can effect each other?

Growing in a soil using IONIC Grow and Bloom. Using nutes every other watering.

I don't taper off, I am not familiar with Ionic Nutrients. The difference in my grow to bloom formula is not that radical, maybe 1% less nitrogen it's the added P-K they they need.

I use Advance Nutrients 3-part formula lt contains Micro, Grow and Bloom. They recommend the use of all 3 from start to finish at a rate of 4ml per litre. I start with 1ml and work up to 3ml per litre on my auto's.
Anyone using the same, how do you mix this formula, I am basically satisfied with this, but interested with different mixtures.

Just run at full strength once plant is responsive to 3/4 strength. In dwc yhey love it... in soil they love it, given all micros are present

I use it in soil and it has been good to me for the past 10 years or more.

Okay bro.... the taper off thing is easy. I do it with my dutch master gold one. Similar nute as its only one part aswell.
So if your feeding at half strength, push it up to full strength for a weeks feeding, then the week after drop down to 1/2strength grow nutes with 1/2 strength flower for two feeds, then to 1/4 grow and 3/4 flower for two feeds, then 3/4 strength flower only for two feeds then full strength flower from there on...
I do hope this helps mate. Its just a weed, pretty hard to fuck it up unless your a complete fuckwit! Autos love full strentgh nutes, just introduced slowly!

P.s you can fill a jug with water and add grow and flower as so....

Example; 8ml per ltr is full strength...

A 75/25 mix would be as follows:

Put 6ml grow into watering can, then add 1 ltr water, then add 2ml flower to watering can.

A 50/50 mix would be as follows:

Put 4ml grow into watering can, add 1 ltr water then add 4ml flower to watering can.

A 25/75 mix naturally is 2ml grow and 6ml flower

Then full strength flower only with one part nutes. Should be around 14 day transition.

Never ever put grow and flower directly together as concentrate.... one part in first, then water, then other part slowly added to water.

Fish poo, FeEDDHA, meta K, FF bone meal, and molasses; occasionally, epsom salt. Easiest stuff I've ever used.

...although, I was thinking of switching FF bone meal for EJ bloom. Pro's con's of the switch?
