Another question for the pros

I have 8 widow seedlings that just broke the surface of their rockwool cubes, and therefore, they will start nutes in 15 days.......I use AN 3 part, plus some flowering supps from AN (big bud, carbo load, et al) and this grow (#5) I am introducing microbes and fungii (voodoo juice, piranha & tarantula) to the root zone, as well as adding potassium silicate (barricade0 for over all cell strength. I grow in a 25 gallon ebb & flow res with 400w hps light. All my enviromental factors are spot-on. Here is my question.....I will start nutes in 15 days, but currently I am too broke to buy tarantula and barricade (I have all the other nutes I need). Would it be okay to introduce these two additives in the second or third feeding (I do a full res change weekly) or would iot be best to not use them this grow, since I doubt I can pick them up before I first start adding nutes.
I hope this makes sense and can garner a quick reply.
Thanks so much!

You can wait....it'll still be helpfull. I'd say the second feeding would be just fine. In soil I had some I gave it too and some I didn't till later...they seem to be even in growth. I guess I'll know for sure if it had any detrimental effects this fall. I asked a similar question to the AN guy about adding stuff out of order(if you will). He said it will still be way better than not doing it at all. Hope that helps.

ps. I deleted all my pm's a while back and I couldn't remember if i was supposed to write you back. I know its been a while...my bad if so.

dude that sure does sound like a lot of nutes and additives. is it really worth the cost and effort as far as the end results. i grow using ebb/flow and using 3 part GH flora nutes. seem to be doing just fine.

Every time I have introduced a new additive as I progress in knowledge, and as I dial the enviroment more, I have seen noticable difference. Wether it is the additives or just my increasing experience, I am not certain, but it seems that the add in sure do help to me...so I do it. I can afford to, so why the hell not?? LOL.
