Others who use nutes may chime in on this, but I don’t think you have to keep increasing if the plants are happy HG. If they look to be getting enough of everything at the strength you’re feeding them now, then no need to change it. I don’t use the same type of grow system as you but that is a good general principal in my experience.
The feeding charts are guides. Use them alongside your own reading of your plants. For example, if a plant has as slow start or fast start it might effect when you feel like it has grown from the “Seedling” to the “Early Growth” phase, and so on. Additionally, different strains have different appetites, some pure sativas for example might only need light levels of nutes, whereas other types like some KUSH varieties etc. have voracious appetites. So the charts (IMO) probably aim at mid-range recommendations for a lot of modern hybrids and then we, as growers, have to
tailor that to each individual plant.
That’s one advantage that growers who run clones have. They can get to know a particular cut really well and how it grows in their particular conditions and then can get in to finer details like reading which ones like/need higher levels of micronutrients Etc. It’s all in the reading
