Question about nutrient mix

If it's similar to GH flora series that I use, Grow,micro,bloom, mix it as they suggest, grow to veg, bloom to flower. Mine says mix micro first, then grow or bloom as needed. Just keep an eye on ppm.

That's a good question, my next grow I plan to do 12/12 from seed, didn't think of that but now that you mentioned it I would go bloom formular since that's what I will be doing. flowering....thanks for pointing it up to me.

Thanks for the reply; I think that I may be asking the question in the wrong way. I know that if I was going to be veg’ing then flowering I would use the nutrients as recommended, but seeing as to how I am going 12/12 from seed (flower cycle) do I just use flowering nutrient mix, or do I wait until I see signs of it being a female before I switch how I’m using the nutrients?

Run veg nutrients,Then once flowering starts keep adding veg nutrients with a couple drops of bloom nutes for 2 weeks into flowering
Then after 2 weeks of flowering start the bloom nutes and drop the veg nutes

Ok normally I would be using the nutrient mix base on the type of growth cycle I’m in, but due to growing on a 12/12 from seed cycle howw ould I mix my nutrients? Would I still use nutrient based on the calendar cycle and weekly to bi-weekly watering mixture? I know that this may be arookie question but I’m not sure what I should be using and I don’t want to kill off my plants due to nutrient burn.

Current nutrients:
Cutting Edge Solutions: Micro/Grow/Bloom
Advanced Nutrients: Big Bud

the best nutes are a good two part a and b bloom then big bud is ok.. then a zime product.. a humic and a carb.... water feed feed water feed feed water ...if its not dry dont apply .but not bone dry.... most nutes about the same about 5 to 10 mils per gallon one tsp is 5 ML....

Purples right. 12/12 from seed runs differently. For starters, around DAY 21 your plants will show sex ( probably still in party cups ). At that point, you are repotting into a larger pot with additional soil. Consequently, you aren't adding nutes yet. Around DAY 40 you will probably start to notice your girls asking for nutes. At that point, they are not vegging but they ARE flowering.

At that point, you can feed them with 1/2 strength grow nutes, then straight water, then 1/2 strength grow nutes during the week. The next week ( Day 47-54 ) you can switch to 1/2 strength bloom nutes. If you notice a little deficiency ( ie Nitrogen ) just give your girls a little dose of what they are asking for.

The soil ( especially Fox Farm ) has all the nutrients your 12/12 from seed plants will need in grow mode.

I add 10 mils per gallon ..I mix 5 gallons at a time ..I am running a and b bloom 10 ml per gallon eco zime 2 ml per gallon mendo honey 7.5 ml a gallon canazime 8 ml per gallon also bloombastic 4ml per gallon this is a great mix..... .. I have used other nutes in the past .. they were all crappy and high priced this is some of the best stuff ...you should try..this nute make up... week 6 flower

Thank you so much for the advice, the only plant that I have been giving nutrients to is my Purple Elephant which is showing bud sites. Now on that plant I'm running the nutrients based on the nutrient calculator, on all the other plants I have just been using roughly 5.5ph balance water with no nutrients. Should I start adding ½ strength veg nutrients to the rest of my plants?

*Look for my 600 watt hps - 12|12 grow update thread for photos.

OK, you guys have me completely confused, I'm a hydro man, are you saying for the first 2 wks I use grow nutes even tho I'm on a 12/12 cycle, then after a few weeks I switch to bloom nute 'till flowering's complete?
