When do i switch food?

[khasbigbud]

Hey guys,

Im currently using and will only use Pure Blend Pro Gro and Pure Blend Flower.
My question is when do i switch from using the Gro formula and use the Flower one? I just started to force 2 days ago.

Since ive switched to 12/12 my plants have just exploded with new undergrowth and have sprouted between 1 and 5 inches. (only 2 dark periods so far)

Thanks

first i would start by reading the directions. my best guess is that you would use the grow during the veg stage and the flower during the, er flower stage? best guess.

Oh man, that just answered everything.

I'm kinda wondering the same thing though. Cause it's not like the plants immediately flower as soon as you switch to 12/12. They stretch and prepare first.

My GUESS, is that after a week you would want to switch to flower nutes. Because by then they should be starting to flower and done stretching for the most part. That's just a guess though, I'm only on my first hydro grow and it's still in veg. I didn't really do much with nutes on my soil grow, I just know I didn't do them right.

either way it shouldn't really matter. most flower foods are just lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus. their should still be nitrogen builtup in the soil. just hit it with the grow right before you put it into flower, and when it's the next time to add nutes use the flower formula.
