Substitute FloraBloom for KoolBloom?
General Hydroponics Liquid KoolBloom NPK is 0-10-10 and FloraBloom is 0-5-4. Are there any other differences between them? Can I add twice the volume of FloraBloom when the schedule asks for KoolBloom?

High ppm in drainage
I flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?

Adding P20 and K20 to a 8-0-0 and 0-6-12 A B
I'm feeding Bionova Coco Forte A+B which is 8-0-0 and 0-6-12. I'm afraid my buds will be airy due to low P and K dosages. Do you think this will be the case? I was thinking of adding Bionova P20 and K20 to the schedule as she enters flower. Too much or should I go for it?
