adding flowering nutes

do i start adding bud enhancing nutrients once i put my plant into flowering lighting? and is it bad that i added more lights for flowering but put them on a 12/12

It's very good that you put more lights after switching to 12/12.

What you are asking is quite a floozy of a question, because no one really knows what to do or when to optimally change the nute pattern.

Before, I used to make a mix of the 2 nutes. In the first week of flowering I kept lowering the veg nutes from 100% to 50% and in the next week to 0%, always compensating with flowering nutes.

Now I use flowering nutes that have a very nice N-K-P, enough N to not starve her in the 2 first weeks of flowering when she's not used to it and pretty much K and P to really get that bud production rolling.

I would personally give it the same formula you've been using for veg, except I use Bud Blood as well in the first week to help my plants start flowering sooner, which most of them start to show pre-flowers within a week, so I think it works pretty well. Week two, I'd start using a bloom formula with enhancing nutrients.

For optimal growth and development during the flowering stage, you need to switch to a flowering or bloom type nute. I have done it like dr cannibus mentioned and I also just switched....neither one was any different than the other. What I do now is switch the lights, feed one last time with veg nutes and then move into my flowering nutes. Mary will use the stored "N" in her leaves to compensate for the reduction.

Sounds like a good plan. Go for it!

PS: thanks for the info, Boneman. This issue was always a mellon scratcher for me.
