Go light on the Armor Si...if you hit them hard with potassium silicate (Armor Si) you will get burns on the edges moving inward on your fan leaves. .25 ml/gallon is what I use...that is 1/4 ml/gallon...Also, silicon (Armor Si) will be put in water first before anything else (w/ RO water)...if you're using a cal/mag supplement they too likes to be mixed in first (w/RO water), so I mix cal/mag first then silicon (Armor Si).
Armor Si will also make your pH go up when used so be aware of that as well.

If this is a just popped (germinated) seedling you don't need any nutrients for 2-3 weeks, if this is a rooted seedling/clone then you should be fine giving 1/8-1/4 strength nutrient/additives....go slow and slowly build up the EC/TDS/PPM.
popped/germinated seeds no roots = no nutrient for 2-3 weeks until you have nice roots
Early veg = EC .5 - .7 / 250-350 ppm on the Hanna (.5) scale
Late veg = EC .7 - 1.2 / 350-600 ppm on the Hanna (.5) scale
Early flower = EC 1.2 - 1.6 / 600-800 ppm on the Hanna (.5) scale
Late flower week 4-6 (8 week strain) = EC 1.6 - 2.0 /800-1000 ppm on the Hanna (.5) scale....after week 6 I 'm slowly decreasing the EC/TDS/PPM and letting the plant start using up some reserves.
Each strain is different in what they like, as always start low & slow, if you start to see nute burn in any stage back off on the nutrients by a 1/4 and everything should be back to normal in no time. And of course if they look like they need a little more bump it up slowly, easier to fix underfed than overfed.
Also, go easy on the Floralicious Plus..a little goes along way.

I was off by far, o.o I understand the Hannah chart a little bit. I have going off of the gh simple chart so in this case my next change around go lightly I'm going to repeat week 2 because I didn't use any addys this week but next week I'm going too, so I'm going to do a quarter less then I did this week this new feeding but my baby has been stressing you think that stress is coming from the feeding?
