Finishing ratio???
A new one on me. I switch from veg nutes to flower nutes. Until a week or two from harvest. Then i use just ph’ed water.

Okay. Now I have a question… I start going in to flower nutes a week before flipping. I heard it gives them a kick start at change so I start adding about 1/3 dose of flower nutrients then and by two weeks after flip I’m running full flower nutrients and start backing off on veg nutes.

You think I should just switch like I used to? A complete change at flip?
Just wondering. Mine have been doing fine that way but a straight change would be less to keep track of…

The reason for flower nutes is that your plants need those nutrients to produce flowers. They won’t do that until after flip. So it’s not really needed until then. They really don’t need it until at least a week or so after flip in my opinion.

Not sure about the idea of giving em a kick-start, brother. I’ve always just started flower nutes when I flip em.

I don’t switch to Bloom until I see signs. But during the flip time, I just give them basic feeding. I use advanced nutrients, so is part a in part B connoisseur grow. I really don’t do much during that time. But when I see hair it’s on. But I don’t veg long.

What i do is…
I start flower nutes at flip. If i feel i need a little more tip burn i will add some nitrogen.

I start my flower nutes at a small amount at first and as they grow I slowly up the ratio. I never stop giving them nitrogen……….

I do see where some nutrients companies want you to give them bloom nutrients during the vegetation stage. Fox farm is one of them. I did several years ago when I flipped, I would give them bloom. If I was doing regular, I felt like it was a waste of money. Really during this time I give them fish Nutrients. Just cheap fertilizer. I guess you could call it cheap.

They do suggest that. Even the flower fuel I use. I give it to them during vegetation time. Some of you grow big fat plants. I did at one time. Small works for me. Plus I get more verity. Also if something gets to big. I can spare pulling a few. But I always remember that the next time topping is needed.

And I checked that when I read to give some just before flip. It’s right there on the damn bottle to feed during veg.

Greedy bastards.

Yup. I use fox farms exclusively. But i use at about half what they say on the bottle. Think about it. If i used what they say, i would be buying twice as much nutients as i need. Greedy is right.

I used General Hydroponics for my first run, and it seems like the general consensus is that they also tell you to use way more than you need.

Owned by Monsanto. Never woulda guessed they’d be morally bankrupt. :rofl:

I’ve used General Hydroponics threesome for years. Also add Flower Fuel in bud. Few other things like powdered kelp, Blackstrap molasses, Straight Nitro, calcium, etc

I don’t either, the most I go is 75% bloom fertilizer. I still give them the other 25% veg.
