This is the chart I have been following with just the 3 part. https://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-DTW_03216am.pdf

My well water ph is 8.0 and with fert added it drops to 6.5 ish. I would then add acid until it was at around 5.8. It was plant ph down from Canadian tire.
The schedule on the bottle is for once a week feedings general hydroponics told me. The one I followed was for twice a week feedings. My 3 gallon fabric pots dried out every 3 days.

3 part only. It's all you need. Well, I use Cal-Mag too, but that's only because my water source is only 65 PPM.

Right, my water is about 120 ppm, not sure if I’d benefit from cal mag. I think of that 120 ppm a lot of it is iron tho.

In my 3 gallon pots, every 2-3 days. Depends on the humidity level.

I water to full saturation until there's a few drops of runoff.
Really I would of thought you would need like 10 to 20 percent runoff to avoid salt build up. You mind showing a pic of one of ur girls. Very curious to see the difference between my low ppm plants. Thank you for your replies

I'm not in a position to take any pics currently, I can later.

You can do runoff. Many people do, even up to 20% as you stated. I just found that it wasn't required for me, and one of the main reasons I switched from GH nutrients was cost savings. Dumping 10-20% of the product down the drain defeats that purpose ;)

What nutrients do you use? Do you feed nutrients on every irrigation?
Tap water
Advanced nutrients and biobizz
Nutes every 2 waterings unless I see tip burn
I go light on nutes and run like 15 gallon flushes through 2.25 gal pots usually around day 40 then feed just water...honestly really depends on the girl

You can stick your head up a cows ass to get a good look at a tbone, but you might as well take the butchers word for it.
This is a forum where people help each other out with growing. A picture is the best way to tell if someone’s method works or not. He doesn’t have to post a pic if he doesn’t want to.
