 Fertilizer question

I recently got a used/half batch of the technaflora hydro nutrient kit pictured below.
 It came with some half empty bottles and missing some nutrients all together. The nutrients I do not have are root 66 and sugar daddy. The recipe sheet that came with it suggets I add these during the transplanting, vegetative, and flowering stages. My question is if will be ok to not include them. As of right now, I'm only fertilizing soil, so I have left out the BC hydro only nutes and followed the recipe for each of the included soil-able nutes. If any nute expert could help me out with this by telling me what I might miss or lose by doing this, I'd greatly appreciate it. My other question is if it would be alright to use Schultz'z All Purpose fertilizer in place of the missing nutes. Ty.

I've worked with their product for a couple years now.
I don't use the root 66 at all, and I replaced the sugar daddy with AN's Carbo Load. My main reason for the which was the dose size and the carbo load seems to work much better in my oopinion.
It also seems that running an EC of 1.2 to 1.5 just makes the plants take off.
I also recommend a product called Monster Bloom in weeks 4 thru 6. It really packs the weight on.
Here's some plants I've done with this set up.

Could the Miracle Grow (Not schultz, sorry) all purpose fertilizer help me by replacing any of the missing nutrients in the recipe? I believe it's set content rating is 24-8-16 and is water soluble.
I just read some info about people using the Miracle Grow all purpose for vegging by itself and seeing great results.

I personally wouldn't recommend it.

I've been using General Hydroponics. They seem to have the best product, in my opinion. If you go to their website, you'll fine a calculator that will help you mix the proper nuits. I haven't had any problems as of yet.

The flora nova line from General Hydroponics is simple and straight forward as can be. Not too bad on the wallet either.

I'm glad to hear of all the great reviews. I've just put 4 LSD sprouts in my hydro tent and they are making their way up. I've also got 4 Mako Haze sprouts under some germ lights. I'm hoping to cross breed the two. The LSD seeds are femmed, but the Mako Haze are regular. Wish me luck.

Agree, I'd recommend Flora Micro + Bloom over the Floranova nutrients.
