Yes that’s the basics but over time we’ve learn to tweak things to our and the plant needs

First 3 weeks of flower we favor building leaf n stem
As stretch finishes we transition to no longer a high N percentage and ramp up P and K so plants build bud not leaf n stem . Just following their natural progression
Gradual ramp up then gradual ramp down
It’s not about the actual ppm numbers but about the RATIOS OF N P and K to each other .
I personally believe because I’ve seen it 15 times now the plant wants certain npk values at certain times .
Just providing them with it , never going backwards always pushing FORWARD

Understand I’m using inert soul mix no feed in it. It is also loose , doesn’t hold water or nutes well , and does not hold excess nutes .
Why I feed every water , why I can alter ratios very quickly . Why my ppm values are seemingly very low . It’s a steady push forward all the time . No lost time constantly pushing plant to its next mission .
Saturday tent 1 at my place stops getting a high percentage of N and will be pushed forward into bud building by providing what they want to make bud , low N higher P and K . It’s a slow ramp up over 2 weeks time .

I see them I watch them
I know all will go at least 2.5 to 3 weeks some of mine stretch a full 4 weeks like my Haze just did .
They jump at night will see the jump in the mornings .
When they no longer jump for 3 days it’s over . When I see them settle in and stop going vertical
I change my npk ratios
That’s where I’m at now in tent 1 . All but the Haze finished their stretch by start of week 4
Ogah continued to stretch going 1 to 3 inches every night . She stopped yesterday no taller this morning . Her stretch is over or will be in days . Why the mute change Saturday

@Jetdro thanks so much sir, I had time to look this over and it makes sense. So since I am on coco/perlite octopots with a out the tap EC 0.3 ppm 150: in order to follow the Forward feed would be
veg period all one of urban nutrients something. could you share more info?
on flip use jack’s 10-30-20
Week 1-3 - 1 teaspoon 10 30 20 per gallon
Week 4 - ?
Week 5 - 1 teaspoon per gallon of 50/50 mix of 10 30 20 and the 5 12 26
week 6 on - 1 teaspoon per gallon of 5 12 26.
any EC/ppm ranges? of just watch the plant?
@Octochris So nice to have you here!! Love Octos!!

@SaintAliasKnife Here is a typed schedule I found on OG. Don’t remember who posted it.
This is the schedule I use. I just substitute Jacks 20-20-20 for the TVF.
Hope that helps.

No worries. I don’t deserve acknowledgement. I didn’t come up with that schedule. I just typed it up so it was easier for me to read.
