if you feed her bloom-nutrients, then the nitrogen will already be lowered, so no need to drop the other nutrients.. as the name "booster" implies, it just boosts the amount of p and k so you will add it to the regular feeding schedule, while keeping a tight check on the leaves for nute-burn to ensure you're not overfeeding her..

Do you drop other nutrients when you use pk or jus lower the dosage. Have done both jus seeing what people think is best to do.

the 0.3 mS base-EC of your water (which i envy you about.. mine was 0.8, so i really needed an RO filter) needs to be added, as that's what the plant also gets, so it's 0.9 total (even when the added nutrients are only 0.6. the other 0.3 are still calcium and other salts in the tap-water).. I personally would only start with the bloom-nutrients after the stretch, but that's something you can try with the next grow. at the beginning of bloom, you still have the stretching phase, where the plant still requires a lot of N, which most bloom-fertilizers have little of.. so it's usually better to switch to bloom, when the bud-production starts and the growing in length has stopped.. anyways, that's not your issue or question here, yeah, if you're in week 5 of flower, you can start adding p and k..

i would start using bloom-nutrients after the bloom-stretch has finished and majority of the energy needs to go into bud-creation.. if you're in soil, then 0.9 is actually quite high (if you're using RO water).. i suggest reading through this link: https://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Fertilizing-Smart-Guide this was quite eye-opening to me..
