i have about 6 or 7 plants (not sexed yet) im flipping to 12/12, all in roots organics 707 from start. i vegged them a little over 4wks and at 15" i had to go 12/12 as i have hight restrictions for now. i didnt have to feed at all in veg other then 1 dose of mollasses just to try it. all my plants stayed green and had decent growth so i felt no need to do any feeding.
Now that im ready to flower when should i start to add a flower feed? i have a HTG not too far from me that had some decent stuff last trip i made that way. i dont want to spend to much as funds are low for this but dont want to lose in the end.

You should definitely start feeding something for flowering once you flip your light schedule. Roots 707 is GREAT for veg, and depending on the container size usually last about 4-6 weeks before needing fertilizer supplemented. I personally think genetics are more important than your fertilizer, but fertilizer is definitely a link in the chain!

For those interested organic growing, the best thing to do is to educate. Teaming With Microbes is a great starting point that's full of MJ relevant info. A couple people to follow here are MattRize, Subcool, Wheezer, and WetDog - a comprehensive sort of wet's posts would be a quick easy way to get plenty of valuable knowledge.

As for your question, check out Espoma products. They're available at HomeDepot, Lowes, and other big box stores. This particular product is a highly viable option due to is comprehensive nutritional content and fungal/bacterial populations.

Personal Plug: my first MJ plant was topdressed with Espoma PlantTone only once at the start of flowering. The closest thing it got to "nutrients" was the nasty apartment complex water we had back then ...you know how oil sits visibly at the top of a puddle?? Same idea.

Finally, avoid bottled organic nutes. Although people do have success with them, they're not worth the price and risk. For the same price as one bottle of Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice, why not buy 12lbs of Espoma BioTone? It's a more complete nutrient source than IJ, contains more active biology than IJ, and you only have to drive to Lowes to get it.

now that your in flowering it'd be good to top dress with some guano or soak guano in water for a day then feed. Get guano high in Phosphorous. The molasses will provide enough K and you might want to incorporate some humic acid (ancient amber from Roots organic or See Green from Beneficial Biologics) and liquid Kelp.

Everything they said is pretty much the way to go, a good organic grow involves good compost tea and understanding what your giving your plant.
