Yeah exactly this. I dont know why I would ever just not even use grow nutes... it's really fucked me many times. Even during my soil transplants it would take 3 weeks to get nutrient Grow deficinices which I didnt realize it was because I stopped using Grow nutrients. I'll start my bloom nutrients in week 3 and slow down on my grow nutes
My plants only get a molasses and kelp based fertilizer in veg. Works very well and helps to build-up useful bacteria und mycos because of lots of sugar/carbohydrates.
In bloom I start to add minaral bloom nutes(mills currently but it's overpriced shit, was a gift from my local grow store) and slowly reduce the molasses/kelp fertilizer to 20% when the stretch is done. But they further get these 20% one time a week untill the end to keep the soil living bacteria/mycos happy. But I still grow in my own soil/coco/compost mix which is much more forgiving like hydro.
Check out the website of your nutrient manufacturer. Maybe he has different nutrient formulas that you can use.
