Cutting Edge Solution nutes

I run an ebb and flow veg cycle with sunshine #4 advanced beefed up with perlite. I am running a couple of the reservoirs with CES anticipating a switch from the currently used Gen Hydroponics three part Flora series. Regarding reservoir top offs CES recommends topping off with straight water. Adding micro to the already mixed solution may cause lockout, I understand this. Does that mean to top off with CES I need to premix the entire top off amount separately before adding it to the reservoir? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

i used CES in place of GH in Lucas formula. just micro and bloom. they worked exactly the same as GH nutes.

to your ?, when i used to top off, i would mix micro with the water and add. let it circulate for a bit and then add bloom.

So I measure the CES micro in a measuring picture to the amount which I need. Then I fill measuring pitcher the rest of the way with water, I then add this into the rez as it is filling via watering hose. Followed by G and B in no particular order. So his is not an issue with CES nutes? This is exactly how Ive run the GH nutes. Your telling me they "work exactly the same" ? Supplements accordingly? That would be AWESOME! My idea was 2 top off with straight water until the strength was floating around 600 PPM. Once a top off diluted it more than that I was just going to reset the res with fresh water and nutes. Seemed unnecessary. When topping off every other day that mark comes awfully quick 6-7 days for some tables. I like to get 10 - 14 days between changes.
I will start running CES like I am running the flora series, as you suggest.

rkymtnman, Does it seem like I have it straight?
I am also looking for some advice or feedback from anyone who has used Micro-Tes, SOS bio inoculum. It is a bit on the pricey side. I am thinking about adding it to the reservoir as soon as cuttings are transplanted, once again a week before flower then two more times during flowering. Anyone who is familiar with using this product I would LOVE to hear their experience. We are all very busy little beavers and I want to say once again that any and all replies are greatly appreciated!✌
