Nutrient regiment and supplements

I have been growing for a couple of years now, and have done soil and hydroponics. The nutrients i used were always advanced nutrients. A couple days ago i took a look at their website to see they had a feeding schedule. There were all these additives on top of the micro, grow, and bloom. Doing research on these "Supplement" nutrients i'm realizing how they would positively affect the plants nature, but in thinking they might add too much fert and burn the plants. Can anyone help me understand what additional supplements would be best for a drip system ?

They will not add too much fert, because you will use less of the Base Nutrients. For instance, Im not sure what Advanced feeding schedule looks like, but here is the feeding schedule i'm on...

It gives you PPM numbers and everything, you know if you will be over feeding when you mix the nutes and test the TDS.. if the ppms are high, you just cut it with water, if they are low, you add more base nutes... Micro supplements are definitely good... and you will notice substantial improvement from only using your 3 part base.
