Grow and bloom nutes together???

So my Auto Pink Kush has just recovered from nitrogen toxicity and hasn’t received nutes in around a week.
It has since entered flowering phase and I think I’m ready to give some bloom nutes.
The question is.. should I also give it Grow nutes? (I’m using biogrow & biobloom)

As I’ve said, it’s recently recovered from nitrogen toxicity so I don’t know if it will be able to handle the extra nitrogen in biogrow

It's important for the plants to get Nitrogen in the first 2-3 weeks of flower during their stretch period. Then you want to reduce it, and make way for a bit of P & K for a few weeks.

That typically translates into Grow nutes for the first 2-3, then Bloom nutes.

What does your nutrient manufacturer say about when to feed how much? That's a decent guideline if you reduce it by a 1/3 or so. That said, they never seem to take into consideration the stretch period in flower.

Pictures would help significantly here.

They do look good, despite the slight over-N situation there... and it does look slight thankfully.

I'm not familiar with your nutrients, but for now, I'd stick with 2/3 manufacturer recommended, except back off the grow nutes by 1/2 for a week to reduce damage caused by N toxicity.

Sorry to jump in, I’m about to flick mine to flower tomorrow so from what you’ve said you’re suggesting to use grow nutes for the first 2-3 weeks of bloom and then bloom nutes after this? So I would give no bloom nutes at all just

base feed grow
cal mag

nothing like overdrive?
Big bloom?
Terra leaves etc?

I'm not giving recommendations for anything I don't know about. I suggest using up to 2/3 of what your nutrient manufacturer recommends, and no more, unless the plants tell you they need more. I also suggested to OP that dropping down in the amount of "Grow" (whatever that is really... I haven't seen the Guaranteed Analysis of anything here), to reduce the Nitrogen because OP does have slight N toxicity.

If you want advice for a completely unrelated problem, please start your own thread.

Yeah - I think it could be the slow release nutes in the soil as I’ve only ever given the plant 1ml of grow on 2 separate occasions.
The new leaves aren’t bending anymore hopefully that’s that problem over.
Thanks for the advice man!
