my seedlings and clones have only been able to be in veg for about a month due to living issues and If I want to Harvast before I move out I have to start flowering this week at latest. I'm using potters gold soil and I have them all In 3 gal smart pots and I've only fed them twice with 1/4 nutes for veg. Do you think I should flush my soil then add flower nutes before flipping to flower? Or do you think I'll be okay just watering normally. I've waited for my pots to dry out mostly so I wouldn't over water

You don't need to flush them and don't switch nutes right away as said above^.

Okay! But another question my stems are turning red and my leaves look really dark green, should I skip a feeding on nutes?

does your soil have nutes in it? the dark green is usually too much N.

what are you feeding them?

Yeah it seemed to love its first feeding at 1/4 strength but after the second one I noticed the red stems and dark leaves

I'm using Green Wizard nutes it's a Michigan made company not very popular. I never heard of them until going to a local hydroponics store

Dark green leaf color isn't necessarily a problem. Watch your leaf tips, if they start to claw downward you'll know they were overfed.

So do you think I should fed it 1/4 nutes after I wake them up? Or just PH'd RO water?
