So far I've been using I guess kind of an unconventional feeding method. I put 1/8 a cap of MG all purpose food, a scoop of Schutlz Orchid food, and a dropper full of Shultz Cactus food in every gallon of water I feed my plants. I wait until the soil is in the red, via my cheapo ph/moister tester, and give my plants a healthy watering. So far that has seemed to work fine, but I would like to get opinions on what if any changes I should make now that I'm about three weeks into the flowering cycle. Are there special products I should use during flowering, and should I cut down on the frequency with which I include fertilizer in the water I feed my plants?

Honestly, every two to three days, whenever my moisture meter shows me the roots are dry. Although I usually give each plant a few seconds of spray every morning for breakfast. I haven't given my plants water without my fertilizer mix sense they began the vegetative stage.

Mainly what I really want to know, is if I've been using this very regimented feeding pattern, should I continue on through flowering? Could it add any stress or have any other negative effects if I feed my plants less often or move to a different fertilizer?

I use House and Garden. It is imported from Amsterdam.
I also use a little Gravity from Humboldt County.

Cut down on the N and up the P. I'm surprised you haven't burned up your plants feeding as much as you have. It will not cause stress to change the dosage. IMO I wouldn't feed as often- every other watering at most.

Ya. Out of nowhere I'm starting to see some signs of over feeding, so I'm gonna cut back for now.
A random question, but would mycorrhizal be of any benefit 3 weeks into flowering? Just curios, because I went to a local fertilizer shop, and they sell a bottle of it, and after reading about it on this site, I was curios.

Well, I decided to flush one of my plants today. The other two perked up just fine after I started spraying them with some carbinated water, but the smaller leaves on the tops of two of the main stalks on the third plant were looking a little crispy, so I flushed that plant good. Can anybody tell me if flushing a plant 3 weeks into flowering will stunt the flowering process at all?

Wouldn't think so, I flush my plants every water change. Granted I use hydro but I don't tell my ladies I do.
From what I know flushing the meduim is crucial to getting rid of built up salts.
But I'm still green to say the least.
Good luck
