Everything looks great to me looks like pH is on and I've grown without adding nutes to my plants. As long as you have a good premium soil you can do Ok in it. I even like to do that when testing strains and looking for phenos.

Ocean forest seems to be a pretty nutritious soil. A buddy of mine goes the same route you did with it (no nutes til flower) and while his yields are never monstrous (he grows mainly personal and little to no training very old school) he comes out with some great smoke. Plants look good to me bud. Good call imo with the cal mag and the seaweed extract. I use kelp and the plants cant seem to get enough. As far as nutes after light change as long as they handle the flip just fine I don't see a problem, I have not experienced stressed plants from light change yet as all of mine have handled fine. They don't look stressed to me. My experience level is relatively low 3 total grows on my 4th now all small so take from that what you will.

Lookin good. My advice would be to not just iniatiate flower. If you continue to veg your plant a bit longer it will naturally begin to preflower. I used to just have a fixed amount of time...like 30 days etc. Now I wait to see the signs of preflower...the transition is faster into blooming if you wait a bit for preflowering. Also Ive learned to keep on the grow nutes for maybe 2-3 weeks into flowering. The extra Nitrogen helps keep things healthy in flower. I switch to full bloom nutes maybe three weeks into flower. Good luck, looking good though.

everything you pour in should be kept organic. Especially cal-mag. I assume you know this already :bigjoint:
The plant looks nitrogen rich but not toxic, gotta love organic. That being said, the beginning stretch of flower will help eat some nitrogen for approx 10-15 days. Since you flipped to flower you will now need to keep a close eye for the first 3 weeks to help her into flower with the correct nutrients ect, an example would be to continue veg nutes or a light/medium feed of nitrogen for the first week or two as smoke said.. Also, ease into your bloom feedings. You should be good to go.

Looking good keep up what your doing and let the plant tell you when it needs something. Follow some basic guidelines but never follow anything to a tee. The plants will always let you know when there is too much or not enough of something.
