I'm not sure if you could feed your plants with just floralicious plus mixed in water as the above op mentioned, I could be wrong, I never have so can't comment much on that, I would question weather it has the proper nutrients needed alone, I use the GH Maxi Grow and Maxi Bloom, as far as feeding schedule goes I never go by the suggested manufacturer's, I feel they make you use more than needed so you will buy more.
