Here are the exact formulas I am currently running.
veg...through stretch
cano3...3
mgso4...2.4
kno3...0.7
mkp...0.4
micro...0.1
150-24-101-144-60 (peak formula normally run at lower concentrations)
flower
CaNO3...3.7
mkp...0.8
mgso4...2.4
met k ...2.6
micro...0.1
150-48-240-177-60 (pretty much run at that level or a hair higher)
So that is almost exactly in line with your K:N the_extremist. On a 10 week strain I start feeding the flower formula at the end of week 3 (pretty much the end of stretch on my 10 week strains). At the end of 7.5-8 weeks (depending on how green they are) I quit feeding N and basically just feed a little K and a couple of other minerals...to let the coco rid itself of N and for the plant to have the other things it needs while the N is getting used up. Somewhere between a week or 1.5 weeks out I go to water only.
As to EC or ppm N or however you want to call it, how strong to feed them...that depends on your media and your growing method. DS is feeding around 1/2 strength in an UnderCurrent, I am feeding 150-200 ppm N in 65 gallon pots that I fertigate every 3-4 days (playing around with O2 management at the time). In the end though a pound of either of our bud probably used similar total cumulative amounts of nutes.
However, I will say if you are in coco and in pots that need watered every day the 115 N is going to be pretty close to what you need. You just have to watch how green they are and you kinda want the bud doubling in size every week...so you watch and tweak.
Ratio wise though that looks like a good formula to me
I have quit using Si in my res. The stuff seems to act a whole lot like carbonate...that is buffering the pH of my media constantly upward.
I am, however, going to foliar feed it once or twice in veg and once in flower. It is most excellent in preventing PM on tomatoes when used that way...in spite of other plants in the area having it.
Hope that helps.
edit...S would be 79 on both my formulas.
