Should I switch to bloom nutes? Should I remove those little bud sites?

I’m in NorCal and the plants are starting to pre-flower. They started last weds. They are pink runtz bag seeds. They are outdoor in FFOF soil.

Should I switch to bloom nutes?
Also, should I remove all the little bud sites?

^^What BenGman said. No need for bloom nutes yet, wait until you start getting actual buds, right now the plant is just transitioning and doesn't yet need bloom food.
Norcal here, 3 plants, one is actually starting to develop clusters of white hairs since last week, nada yet on the other 2. In years past my plants were all pretty much starting to generate little buds by now, but flowering start seems to be strain dependent

Okay, thanks guys! I will leave them alone. I had to toss two plants since they were male. Now, I have to prepare myself for those damn caterpillars. Past few years, they were a big issue.

Less is more in NorCal right now. I’m in Redding, our plants are working their ass off to compensate for the heat right now; so I go light all nutes (same soil here) especially in your stage. Good question though

Natural is always better. It just comes down to preference. I’m still learning, so take things I say with a grain a salt.
Im learning so im taking in everything I can. I know during flowering is crucial. Also skeptical with bud washing, just dont wanna ruin something i worked hard for.

I’m unfamiliar with that spray, does it make your blooms bigger, or give you more of them? Or both?

That’s to help prevent caterpillars from living and shitting on your buds. If they shit, it will cause bud rot and could wipe your entire plant out. Every morning and night I would examine the plant and remove any caterpillars. This year I have this mesh net I’m going to put them in to help battle them.
