...start using your flowering nutes when you flip them. I would start off at around 900 ppm @ .7 conversion., slowly raise your ppm to your desired over a week or 2. ( I raise to 1300 ppm @ .7)

...what is your medium? ( soil? hydroton? coco? exc...)
When I say I'm growing "hydro" I mean I'm growing using a reservoir ( hydroponics, aeroponics )

...just had to clear that up, I read some post where some think soil is hydro...anyways.
Do you have an e/c meter? ...you'll need one if not.
...an ec meter gives you a reading of the electrical conductivity in your solution ( or, how strong the fertilizer is )...The ec, is also given the name of TDS (total disolved solids), kind of like miles and kilometers, you can get the same reading with either or, but the #'s are different. TDS readings give you the measurement in ppm ( parts per million )...and to further complicate things, they give you the ppm in 2 different conversions...LOL.....they use .5 and .7 conversions. EXAMPLE: Just as 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, an ec of 950 = a TDS of 475 ppm ( @ a .5 conversion. ) or 665 ppm ( @ .7 conversion)
...all in all, ec is the easiest to understand because it is a universal reading, however, not all meters have all the same options.
...have I thoroughly confused you yet, or are you following me?

i would stay with your grow nutes if your going to keep vegging after you sex them. i usually start flower nutes a week before flower but everyone does it different.
