Hey
@RewisL19
Me and
@Hydro use Athena blended, I'm in coco using dippers, and he is in dwc. For me I wouldn't change from them, I'm only using their bloom side btw and cleanse, but I only use cleanse now for cleaning my tent etc and final flush, the reason behind this is the guys from power si are recommended h&g drip clean instead as cleanse kills everything. I use Tribus you see and if combined with cleanse would be a waste of money.
With the 3EC you don't really need to go that high but if you are running high ppfd then sure, the best way is letting the plant do the talking,
PH under by .5 then more likely its hungry, more the .5 overfed. Same with EC more than 1 under its hungry more than +1 too much food
I believe its a coco/rockwool thing as on the website it says
Coco Coir
Fully inert coco tends to lock up initial doses of minerals, leaving the plants potentially deficient in early stages. A good practice is to charge the media before transplant with a higher dosage—week four Grow or Bloom is usually a good target. Experienced growers often find plants can take higher dosages in coco (up to 3.0 EC), depending on irrigation frequency.
but they have changed their feeding guide to only include their heavy feeding one as they used to have 3 different ones
here is the link to the old feeding guide which includes their light version
