Questions on Foxfarm and Flowering

I am a little confused about which foxfarm nutrients to my plants during the flowering process. I just switched to 12/12 2 days ago and was using the foxfarm grow big solution during the vegetative stage. Now that I am in flowering, should i completely stop giving the plant the growbig as it wont need as much nitrogen and start on the big bloom? I also have tiger bloom, but im not sure if im supposed to be giving the plant big bloom and tiger bloom at the same time. Finally, my last question is that when the plants are in the nigh cycle, is it safe to look at them for maybe a minute or two in light without causing any problems? Or is it the case, that when they are in dark, they must be in dark for 12 hours straight with 0 interruptions.

yes stop giving grow big and start using both tiger bloom and big bloom together. if you notice, the big bloom only has trace amounts of npk, so tiger bloom is needed as well. this is what i do. good luck

and you can look at your plants for short periods. i do and have never had a hermie in 5 or so harvests. so people dont, but that is a little far for me.

to speed up the flowering process next time around and it knocks a week or 2 off is to leave your plant in darkness 24-36 hours before you do 12/12 schedule just a big tip for you and yes mix both nutes .

i dont agree with this totally, yes it might put them into flower a day or two quicker, maybe, but the plants still need the same amount of time to flower. you can do a continual manipulation of the photoperiod over the entire course of the flowering period. but you need an expensive ass timer. this is the only way to knock off a week or 2 from flowering time.
