Is Now The time To Change Nutirents?
Hi,
My two plants just started showing their preflowers. Should I continue feeding them the nutrients high in nitrogen a little longer or should I switch to the flowering ones? I have been feeding them Foxfarm's Grow Big for two months. I also have Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom.

A pro could tell you better,
but I'd wait until 2 weeks prior to harvest to cut them off. I think its to force the plant to use the shit stored in the cloraphyll??? Anyone?...lill help here?

i would start decreseaing your veg ferts while adding a little flower ferts to each nutrient feeding. then start upping your flower ferts. :twocents:

personally i've always switched to my bloom ferts after signs of preflowering...i usually wait til i see the first male and begin bloom ferts...always had great success with Miracle Grows Bloom Booster 15-30-15 once every one to two weeks depending upon the strain :thumbsup:

yup, if you're seeing pre-flowers, switch to your Tiger Bloom now (from now on, your nitrogen levels should be low, as nitrogen stalls flowering) ... you can also add a tablespoon of blackstrap (unsulphured) molasses every few waterings, it serves as a 'carb loader' to the plant :smokin:

Hrmm I have the same Question as the OP.
I have plants that are in a Pre Flower stage right now that are not showing signs of the start of Flower.
Ive been feeding them a high Nitrogen Diet still because I have not seen them start the all over full flower.
But "the image reaper" says that Nitrogen stalls Full Flower ?
I think of the plant still being in a Vegetative state right now in Pre Flower. Am I wrong in thinking that ?
I still see new growth shoots coming off the plant daily. They are about 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Stalks are nice and big and strong so they can eat alot.
My plan was to wait until I saw hairs on the tops of branches before switching to high Phosphorus food.

it will make it an easier transition for the plant to bring in flower ferts after you have switched your light cycle? your plants need certain horomones to flower and the flower ferts help produce those horomes............how many days have you been in 12/12.

Well it gets light at about 7 or 8 and gets dark around 9. And its getting Shorter each day. So iam at about 13 to 14 hours of light still.
And it has been a full moon lol

would just continue feeding you higher nitrogen fertilizer till you plant shows signs of starting to flower and then switch, its probably going to be very soon.
have never really seen nitrogen levels so high that it would stall flowering and suspect most fertilizers would not slow flowering at all, but the biggest reason to cut back on nitrogen would be so you dont affect the taste of the buds but you should have plenty of time to reduce the nitrogen levels once the plant shows signs of flowering by switching fertilizers to one with very little nitrogen and possible just use nothing but water the last couple of weeks.

I've seen N stunt flowering INDOORS but outdoors I am not certain.
Where I'm at at the 45th parallel, the outdoor people are definitely switching into finish mode, killing males and hitting their plants with bloom ferts.
The countdown to harvest is on; we just had the 2nd full moon before the harvest moon... time to switch. 8 weeks to go, woot!
