Nope I would say follow the feed table supplied with your nutrients. the values have already been worked out for you by the nutrient company. these values on the feed table have been tested and proven to show optimum growth using that brand. alot of people do say to only use half doseage stuff like that to new growers but ive always found the plants grow much better and faster if you follow the feed table :) thogh its your grow your rules :) best of luck buddy and keep up the great work.
