Stretch is over. Switch to flower nutes?

So I'm 3 weeks into 12/12 and it seems the stretch has slowed or stopped. I've been giving half flower half veg nutes. Should I switch to 100% flower? Grow in my sig.

Which nutrients are you using? I like to ease into it, mixing veg and flower to get a reasonable NPK ratio like 1-1.2-1.7 in early flower, 1-1.5-1.7 in mid flower, and finish at 1-2.0-1.7 at the end. (Maybe touch 1-3.0-2.0 once as a "booster," but I can't tell that it does anything except starve the plant of N.).

I made a spreadsheet in which you can see the NPK ratio of multi-bottle "lineups" and how to mix them to get different ratios. If you only use a veg and bloom product, you don't need a spreadsheet to average their NPK ratios. But, if you use "calmag" and other things, the spreadsheet is handier.

General Organics full line. Can2seem to find much info on them regarding ppm or anything. I started another thread in Nutes about it.

Stay with veg nutes while flowering. Slowly add in bloom nutes in week 4 or 5 is how I was doing it before I went organic. If you switch to bloom to fast and stop using veg you will run into defs. You bc an literally run veg nutes all the way thru with no problems. Don't fall for the bloom booster bullshit either. A even ratio of npk and micros is that's needed

I normally hit them 1x before flip with veg nutes, then 1x more after flipping, then flower all the way until week 7.5, then h20 only. NEVER had any nute issues in 4+ yrs of growing. so saying you will definitely run into nute issues is a blanket statement.
