i'm pretty sure FF's big bloom is for use throughout veg and flower. i may be mistaken, but i think it says on the bottle and feed chart to use it through veg and flower.
and there is ZERO reason to add epsom salt to your solution if you're using cal-mag...
why mix in perlite to FFOF? because FFOF retains a lot of water just by itself. i've used FFOF for years, switched to roots organic, but i'll be switching back to FFOF AND i plan on adding a little perlite to help with drainage/aeration.
and pH 6.5 is a bit higher than i'd personally recommend.

So, you think FF Big Bloom by itself with RO water during veg was a good idea? Apparently not. It's a micronutrient product.
A pH of 6.5 is fine in soil. Who made you the expert on such things anyway?
The epsom salts add sulfur which he may be lacking, in addition to Mg.
Roots Organic? LOL. Yeah tell us more about your expertise. Got Gnats?
