I was wondering when you would begin to give a plant flowering nutrients if it were on a 12/12 lighting schedule from the beginning?

I just started 12/12 today too and was wondering the same thing, i've been flushing the last week with fresh tap water i let sit out over night. sorry to hijack your thread but I'm in the same boat as you. also i've heard in the 2nd-3rd week i should add water+molasses in the appropriate ratio. would i be correct to assume this? thanks to who ever can answer our questions.


BUMP!

you shouldn't need to flush to switch to flowering nutes, in fact some plants like a 50/50 of both nutes in the 2nd to 3rd week. I personally have seen molassis used from when there are buds formed until the end flush...
