Need a little Help

I usually use foxfarm ocean forest but i didnt like the cost so i switched up to Promix hp/ perlite/ dolomite Lime for my soil... I have my strawberry diesel clones that i was feeding with just grow big and liquid karma and now they are healthy lush plants ready for flower.. This is where i need help.. for my flower nutes im going to use open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching.. yeah i know they are not organic..

So im wondering do i feed my plants more because the soil is pretty inert and im not using the FFOF or i do feed them the same?
Also do you think these ferts will be the only ones i need until harvest, or will i have to add a little grow big during mid flower?

Open Sesame (5-45-19) 1-3 weeks
Beastie Bloomz (0-50-30) 3-6 weeks
Cha Ching (9-50-10) 6-9 weeks

Any comments welcomed..

If I am reading your post correctly, you are proposing to use a 9-50-10 fertilizer at the end of flowering? I would not give them any nitrogen after about the third or fourth week of flowering on a 9 week strain. Your mileage may vary, but the point is not to give them any nitrogen fertilizer after they have finished stretching.

Bah just use the PBPro for Soil and at least your semi-organic, besides like dopamine said your final fert has N which is no good for end of flowering.
If i had to keep to the products you have at hand start with the OS and then use the BB until 2 weeks from harvest then flush using nothing but water.

Yeah but the foxfarm ferts says to use it at the end of flowering..
heres the description
Cha Ching improves the taste and aroma by concentrating the plant oils into the flower, fruit or vegetable. Use Cha Ching in your hydroponics systems or for plants potted in soil. Comes in a dry formula that is water soluble.

Fox Farm Cha Ching pH balanced blend of extra-strength micro and macro nutrients improves results whether as a supplement to the existing nutrients, or use it alone as a finishing nutrient towards the end of the plant life.

Cha Ching will give you unparalleled results with any plant or flower used for potpourri. Try it with your peppermint, jalapeño peppers or any other plant where enhanced taste is preferred.

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but you are getting good advice. Forget that other shit and use PBP Bloom for Soil.

Nitrogen at the end of flowering makes them think they have a second lease on life and prolongs flowering.

advertisements are just trying to sell you a product, not give you reliable information

i'm always suspicious when people make claims of "unparalleled success" with anything

you do know foxfarm products are usually reliable, right? And alot of people use Big bloom (.01-0.3-0.7) and tiger bloom (2-8-4) which both contain nitrogen.. These are just product that are on the definite non organic side..
And i would try something different but i have already bought these products and have a lot leftover from last grow...

yes FF is very reliable but what they are saying is simple....what ever you use, just use no N at the end of the flowering cycle and flush with water the last two weeks to let the plants know it is time to finish up.

I have never used any of those products but I feed a little N that is in my guano teas up to about 1/2 way through.
