Nutrient question?

Hi All, when is it best to start feeding the flowering nutes, at the very beginning of going 12/12? or do you wait until you see actual "buds" forming before adding? thanks.

Couldn't tell you if there are any hard numbers or not on that. In the past, I kept feeding nitrogen a few weeks into white hairs appearing, then switched to budding nutes when they started forming clusters

Most good reputable nutrient companies will give you a feeding guideline. Should be on the bottle and most are on the companies website.

and if you read them you will see most do start adding the bloom nutrients at 12/12
If you continue with grow nutes during stretch you get taller/bigger plants.

My girls in my greenhouse are at 14 hours daylight and starting stretch so I started bloom nutes last feeding.
