Nutrient Help

Hi can someone please tell me when to change nutrients

I know you use grow nutrients when the plant is is veg stage but once you switch to 12/12 lighting do you switch straight to flowering nutrients or do you use both for a while could someone please tell me.

Thank you

...feed them veg nutes for the first few weeks of flowering. i made the mistake of switching nutes right when I changed to 12/12 and got a nitro deficiency soon afterward. I later read on here the advice I just gave you.

Just keep your watering cycle the same and switch from the veg nute to the flower nute once you goto 12/12, continue at an every other watering cycle... don't use both as you could possibly get some vicious nute burn if applied incorrectly...

Also, i've seen A LOT of people recommened using molasses... I purchased some Grandma's UnSulfured Original Molasses at the local grocery store.. It's over w/ the baking stuff i believe...

You can use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water.. you're plants will love it.. some say use it every other watering.. I think that may be a bit extreme, but it can also be mixed w/ the nutes... So you could water, water+food+molasses, water, water+food+molasses, etc..

I've read this as well, but i saw no ill effects from switching to Big Bloom from Grow Big once i went to 12/12... maybe it all depends on the brand of nutes and there NPK levels...

or the strain, conditions, etc... who knows...
