Question about the switch.

Had a question about when to actually switch nutrients for the flowering phase. It looks like I'm in preflower now but when do I stop the veg nutes and switch to bloom. I'm outdoors in pots and in the ground. Seems like a long time go with limited nitrogen. Tried to find info in the tutorials but most are for indoor.

Hey Bowhunterwoody hope all is well in your area of the world :) yes they are slowly going into transition stage now depends on daylight lengths. When my photo grows are healthy and going well outdoors as yours are i don't rush with the bloom nute change i just give less growth food less nitro or no more top dressings of bat poop or worm casings. I let them have there last grow feed then water dry out water. By Aug. 1st i give 5-10-5 ratio of NPK last 2 higher the better and do give some nitro for health of plant. That's the way i go when i got a great photo outdoor grow, but mine are " dung beetle food " this year do to my timing the grow LOL I gotta joke about it cause it's makes me sick.............no worries autos are saving the day and 4 photos in a tent.
 
Thanks SoOrbudgal. Yea, things are ok in the northeast these days. Hot and humid, mid 90's. Watering every day. Trying to do a little fishing when the wind lays down. Guess I'll just start slowing down on the vegging nutes slowly an then transition to the bloom. I use Dyna grow bloom 3-12-6. Seemed to work last year but I wouldn't know any different as it was my first grow. Plus I grew in MG not knowing any better so it was a little screwy. Thanks again.
 
Macro nutrients are your primary concern. Do not abruptly switch from veg to bloom nutrients. The phase known as the flowering stretch (week 1-3 of flowering) requires ample amounts of nitrogen still, so it is best to gradually switch. I lowered my veg feed and heightened my bloom feed every feeding until I stopped veg feed all together and maxed out (50% dosage) my bloom feed.
 
Really depends on what kind of flower nutes you have ??
normal flower nutes have some N also, so I wouldn’t be worry. And just make the switch when I see white pistils.
If you have bloom boosters - like 0-13-14 then maybe you should gradually lower the Veg nutes.

But normally and honestly I just make the switch of nutrients as soon as I see white hairs.

again. Also depends on the strain and your setup, and how much is left in the soil.
 
Hey woody i used that dyna grow bloom last season but could not get it this season in Jan. so i went with the " age old organics bloom 5-10-5" yes a bit of nitro during bloom phase is needed i think.
