The only real way to tell if you need to be upping your nutes (or reducing them) is to have an EC meter .. in Week 5, you want the EC to be around 1.0 (increasing it to 1.2 in Week 6)... and to increase, just use more of your Bloom nutes or choose to add a PK booster.... don't increase the nitrogen-heavy nutes. What you want to do is to monitor both the EC and the pH of the runoff and understand the relationship between the two... if, for example, your EC is falling and the pH is rising, you'd want to reduce the EC by 0.1... but that's a fairly complicated calculation and if you're new to growing, just keep it simple... Keep the nute levels the same however you might want to consider adding a PK booster in low doses (half the recommended) which will help the buds fatten up, grow larger and more dense... Good luck! Looks great so far!
