Check this FF feeding schedule. I don't use FF but would use this schedule in a heartbeat. USE THE EC READING and NOT the teaspoons per gallon. Also use RO water and screw anyone saying not to. Who cares if you have to add good calcium and magnesium because RO took it off. I use General Hydro Flora series and make my own cheap soils and my plants boogie. By gradually raising the EC/PPM it allows the plants EC - which they have! - to gradually rise to take in the rising EC you are providing. Too high an EC and the plants simply cannot utilize what they take in. Hence nute burn from an overdose. Gradually increasing it keeps that from ever happening. Or at least is the best bet to keep it from happening.
