Feed grow nuts when shes stretching. When it stops, than go with flower nuts. Some strains have this period longer and stretch more some less. Watch the plant if she needs more N than go with grow if not than flower. You want at least since beggining of 3rd week of flower giving her higher P and K ratio than N. Than she knows she should completely flip to flowering.

not even kidding usually people that do this flip them right away then complain about it taking weeks to switch to flower. or they could have gotten autos lol. and it doesn't help I've been on narcotics for the past few days.

Its about the balance, you maybe did not notice but the plants did...

True that. If you flip mature plant, it does not take more than 2 weeks

Can you form your question other way? I do not understand what you asking...
It popped up September 1st
3.5 months
I’m growing Bruce Banner.
It’s been 10 days since now I switched to 12/12.
Random white hairs sticking out randomly all over but no formation of buds yet.
it was just over 90 days old when I switched to 12/12
I thought it took 2 months for a plant to reach maturity.

Those random white hairs will turn into bud sites. She's on her way. Many folks don't even begin to count flower until after 14 days of 12/12.
Ok. I understand that some strains take longer.
Should I add more time in early or middle bloom to make up for the slow start. So I don’t get to the late bloom or ripening phase nutrients before it’s actually ready ?

What kind of lighting are you using? I noticed with weaker lighting sources that plants can take longer. Sativa dominant plants can also take longer. There are also some strains out there that hardly produce any buds. Certain phenos of the DR Grinspoon is one example. I've also had a Thai strain grow similar. Improper conditions especially temps can also effect bud development. I've grown clones of strains that grew much different in the cold vs hot conditions. Lot of strains bud like shit when it's too hot.

What slow start? I wouldn't count the start of flower from when you flipped to 12/12. If you do you'll probably harvest too early based on how many weeks you are counting. If anything start counting flower from today if you need to.
Not at all. The plant will tell you over time when she wants the nutrients to switch. I switch over from veg nutes to bloom nutes after the plants have fully finished stretching after the 12/12 flip. Usually around 14 to 21 days after.
You'll know when she gets to middle and late flower based on bud growth.

I'm not asking I'm merely sharing my opinion, ime one good nutrient is much the same as another.
I was saying the plant noticing the difference between different nutrients doesn't matter to me, what is important to me is that I notice a difference between the different nutrients and I don't.
I think the person using the nutrient is the important part?
