Transitioning nutrients in coco when flipping to flower and starting bloom phase

So my first grows were in soil. I didn't even start giving nutrients until 50ish days in. Now that I'm in coco I have been feeding 5ml calmag and 5ml of part 1 and im starting week 8 from sprout.

When I transition to flower should I keep feed the same for 2wk then start feeding less N more PK? Or should I keep same for 3wk then start transitioning feed.

The two smaller plants are autos. Im focusing on the 4 outer plants. I am concerned as to when to reduce calmag. And when I flip to 12/12 and they start bloom should I keep feed the same and then start the next cycle of feeding at week 2 or 3 (end of stretch) from start of flower?

Depends how well formed the flowers are, but personally I normally start whenever the tank runs out when there are some good initial preflowers showing.
 
I’m not sure about coco, but in soil I feed less on the last feeding before switching to bloom nutes. So if I’m feeding 1/2 strength veg nutes.. I reduce it to 1/4. And the next feeding will start with 1/4 dose of bloom and I gradually bring it up from there and cut out the veg nutes completely.
 
@HydroKid239 yeah so im thinking ill flip. Keep feed the same and around end of week 2 ill start reducing veg feed and start adding bloom. Then around week 5 I will minimize nitrogen and focus on PK

Have you guys ever grown pineapple express, GDP or SSH photo?
I haven't, currently growing Maui Waui and Shiva Skunk. It's funny about the transition stuff, going by the feed charts is used to change my nutes basically weekly but this run I have been giving the same nutes since around 3 weeks before flip and the plants are now almost 5 weeks into flower. When they get to the ripening stage I will drop the Micro and grow to reduce N. Under my new LED my plants are gluttons so it seems to be working out well.

Dude I have been feeding the same since SPROUT. Everytime I increase above 5ml of my grow they burn. Very healthy and happy only eating 5ml grow and 5ml calmag.

I thought I would have to keep increasing but absolutely not.

only pineapple express, but then again it's an auto.
It's about to hit the chopping block.

Nice, I am actually going above what the GH feeding schedule says. Since 3 weeks before veg they have been getting 6.67/gal grow, 6.67/gal Micro and 8.3/gal of bloom with some epsom salts and small amount of calimagic. My last run I used half of the GH feeding amounts and this time I am well over their max feed. The addition of my HLG light made them pigs. Not showing any signs of burn so I am happy. Here are my ladies at present, I flipped lights on Dec 1.

I just switch fert ratio, GH.

Went from 5ml,5ml, 2.5ml, Cal-Magic 2.5. To 4,4,4, 2.5.

The previous solution was at 730ppm. GH says 600-900ppm. The transition solution calls for 650 to 900. So I simply changed the ratio to the 4,4,4. What I enjoy about GH. If you mix it exactly like they say. Using RO. The transition solution measured 720ppm at 5.8ph. No nothing added. No up or down. The solution is dead on perfect as mixed.

After a week, on the 7th day. Next change. That's when the chart gets funky. It cuts the fert dose down to 500-700ppm. Which means(to me). The solution is going to run somewhere in the 550-600ppm range as mixed.

I believe all the extra ppm allotment is for all the extra crap you can buy that's listed on the chart.
