Can anyone tell me when i should switch my nurtrients from growth type to bloom type. Should i do it right when i switch to 12/12? Also, just in case, is there anything else i should switch right before i switch my light cycle? Help as soon as possible would be nice. Thanks
Puff, puff, pass~!

I always give a plant its veg nutes a week or so into flowering during it's stretch period. after it slows down and i see calyxes trying to form, then i switch to bloom nutes. I just make sure the plant is completely ready from the veg room and it goes straight to the flower room on 12/12.

calyxes? Could you tell me a little more about them? I dont think i have heard that term before. Also I think i need to repot my plants in some bigger pots, should i wait to switch the light period before i do this? Also im not sure if i should trim off the lower sets of leaves, most pictures ive seen have no leaves on the lower branches and my plant is starting to produce leaves over most of the stem(see attached) should i cut these leaves off?

drop the nitrogen back two weeks before flowering light cycle, start adding flowering nutes at this time.

Dude you do relies that you are supplying nutrients for a cycle the plant is not even in yet? The change in cell structure between vegetation and flower starts with in 5 day's of changing lights to 12/12 (some strains take a little longer 10-14 day's)

The change in nutrient should occur at the same time so the plant will get what it needs when it needs it. This is the basic principle of stress free environmental growing that produce larger buds and healthier plants with greater yields.
