I wouldn't bother. There's no magic in other ingredients that's not already in what you are using... especially on your first grow when it's easy to overdo the nutes. Overdoing it can kill your yield.

I would stick to the line of nutes as well, that way you don't over due( nute burn) or lockout something. If your in or near bloom, I would use liquid kool bloom and dry koolbloom with the same line. Liquid just preps the plant for dry kool bloom which totally rocks. Just follow instructions on the bottle If you feel you decide on those. It's not worth messing up a grow unless you have real evidence of someone using that with proven success and detailed instruction provided.

The only other things I would add personally is a silica additive to improve the structural strength of the plant and some sort of seaweed which I use to feed bacteria and mycorrhiza I've added but has plant stimulants in it and also potassium to aid flowering.

Yes you nailed it, silica is missing from that basic gh flora line, I use that also.

I just learned how to use Hydro Buddy which is a little program that helps you see exactly what you’re feeding the plants, and better mix and match things till you have a good ratio. Tell me how much you’re feeding of the GH ones and how much of the Remo stuff you planned to add, and I could run the numbers sometime.

Yes you nailed it, silica is missing from that basic gh flora line, I use that also.

Apparently, the silica source, potassium silicate, is too reactive to supply in with other concentrated nutrients, so that's why you have buy it separately.

@jetsgrower IF you do use a silica additive, follow the instructions on the bottle to the letter.

If you want to increase the potassium and phosphorus part then monopotassium phosphate (NPK: 0-52-34) in powder form will do that. You'll have to read up on the dosage. It's commonly known as 'MKP' (stands for mono kalium phosphate - 'kalium' is latin for potassium).
