Say Sensi A/B to (insert company here) A/B, then yes. shouldn't be an issue atl. Especially if they were both decent products that seem to fit your plants needs.

Is it okay to switch A and B brands during a cycle?

if you have previously worked with mineral fertilizers, you cannot switch to organic fertilizers during the grow.

the other way around, it doesn't have to be a sure-fire success either.
the type of medium and the size of the pot also play a role.

the question should be asked more specifically so that you can benefit from an answer

You can't switch from mineral to organic???? Why can't you?

it is not recommended
With mineral salts, you feed your plants directly with nutrient salts.
With organic, the plant feeds on what has been prepared from the soil life.
the fertilizers for organic cultivation aim to nourish the soil life.
Although the organic fertilizer also contains immediately available nutrients, it is not enough
Your microorganisms must first prepare the fill.

do you have a mineral soil with long-term fertilizer. many strains of bacteria will not like this.
weak soil life means poor nutrient supply. Even if your soil is organic, but you mainly fertilized with minerals, it will decimate your soil life.
first of all because of the salts. Second, because your soil life does not develop well if it is not properly nourished and cared for.

with mineral, the pots are left to dry out firmly. the watering takes place with a lot of drainage. pure poison for soil life.

I hope it is understandable my english is not available

This has always been the common misconception. I have only found benefits using both organics and synthetic nutrients.

However if you are worried about this, use fungus/bacteria based inoculation product once every week or two.

have a look..

i know the site.
and what has been written is also true for the garden outside.

indoors, during flowering, the cycle is too short for the plant not to get into a dramatic situation.
if mineral work was done beforehand, use a dry medium and plenty of water when pouring.
The lost time can no longer be made up in the back, even if effective microorganisms are added.

so that we understand each other correctly, the plant will not die, but it will remain below its possibilities because, like every plant, it adheres to the minimum law.
every defect that occurs reduces the development.

it is not recommended to change flowers during the flowering period. better results are achieved then sticking to mineral.
A soil that has been worked exclusively with minerals will wither away. however,
soil fertility would have to be preserved from the start.

there are only a few bacterial strains that feed on mineral nutrients. many need organic food.
this creates an imbalance in the soil. because the other tribes have been severely decimated
And nitrification-inhibiting substances have long been added to the mineral long-term fertilizers so that they are not available to the bacteria.
