Advice on early flower nutrients

Yo... So I've been chatting to a lot of you about this grow and thanks for the help so far... It's going well.
9 days into flower now and I'm changing the 30gal Res for the first time in this new phase.
Until now this has been my veg feet...

And this is what I have for the bloom...

Without beating around the bush.. I'm a bit anxious and unsure about making a dramatic change like that.
I would assume that having at least some Nitrogen in there for the stretch would help build the framework for the flower to grow off?
Of course there are other additives such as silica, calmag and steralizing additives... Or am I just being a bitch and should drop the bloom nutes like a boss?
Cheers

9 days... Stretch is nearly finished. You have a week of it left, tops.
There has been almost no stretch at all mate.. maybe 1 inch max. And yes it is 12/12.. interesting you say that though I was talking to this other fella and he said stretch takes 2 weeks to start sometimes..

On a normal 8-9week strain, stretch is finished by week 3 no matter what. Once budsets form at the top of each top, its
done.

These are my tops. I believe what you're saying. You have far more experience than I do... Its just compared to what I see others go through I was expecting much more. It really has only added about 2 nodes in close succession but hardly stretched at all.
So I just added my bloom nutes at half the recommended dose and it's come up at a surprisingly low ppm, only 200. Do you usually see lower ppm readings on the bloom nutes?

So with regards to my original question, does anyone suppliment some Nitrogen through early flower? By means of using small amounts of veg nute or any other means?
Also anyone with experience using the grotec Monster Bloom? I've noticed that even with the recommended dose my PPM is extremely low.
