It's not really a new feeding schedule but I used something close to it last grow with auto flowers. I just used the 4-4-4 at the 1/4 cup rate mixed in at planting and then top dressed at the onset of flower with more 4-4-4 and switched to flower girl 2 weeks later. I top dressed every two weeks with flower girl at the 1/4 cup rate after that until harvest. I also used Epson salt and molasses throughout. I'm doing 2 tbls per gallon of 4-4-4 this grow at planting and will top dress again at flip with the 4-4-4 then switch to flower girl. I'm new to dry amendments but this did a good job for me. Adding EWC this time to try and get some more compost into the mix.

Thanks for your reply. Sounds fairly close to their schedule. Sounds like you already harvested? And on a current grow?
How was the harvest? What size pots? How long in veg? Every 2 weeks top dressing in veg? Did you use any bottle nutrients? Cal/Mag?

I had auto flowers in 3 gallon pots that did pretty good. They finished in right about 90 days from sprout and yield was equal to or even a little better than the results I've gotten with using salt nutes like Advance nutrients. I mixed the dry amendments in before I planted and then just top dressed once I saw flowers forming which was about day 28. My well water has plenty of calcium and the Epson salt gives them the extra magnesium. I used about 1/2 tsp Epson salt per gallon once a week during they're watering and it seemed to work for this group. It was my first time trying organics so I was winging it and asking a lot of questions too. Bigger containers are better so I'm going 5 gallons this next time once I get some seeds ready for them. Hope this helps.
