Auto Nutes

[NotAFarmer]

I've got some autos that I started a few weeks back; and like the auto before it I'll just keep it on a 18/6 light schedule for the whole grow. But since I'm not switching the lighting schedule, when should I switch the nutes from grow to bloom? My previous photo grows I switch when I switch the lights. The previous auto I switched roughly after 3 weeks because that's how long the breeder claimed the veg period would last. Does that sound about right?

I start mixing in flower nutes when I see pistils. I got a better result when the first fert change was half and half and second 3/4 1/4. I start with an organic soil with no nutes. maybe I over think it.

Well I kinda treat photo an auto bloom feed the same meaning.....I start the bloom feed when i see buds itty bitty budlets. And my bloom feed has a 5 rating in Nitro. That's the way i do it indoors. Autos if their big an no issues i will give slightly less what it says to feed per gallon of water. Most the time my autos are in only 3gal containers so they only get 1/2 gallon of whatever fluid it's time for.

Oh interesting; thanks for the replies! I suppose it makes more sense to do what you all are suggesting and listen to the plant rather than the arbitrary timing I have been doing haha. I'll give it a shot this time around
