You'll want to fertilize close to week 2 or 3 of flower maybe a bit later.
As for fertilizer regimen you do need a good amount of phosphorus, but potassium, nitrogen and your micronutrients are very important.
Personally I recommend doing a ratio of 2/3 bloom and 1/3veg nutes. Personally I am using Dr. Earth dry amendments, and the mix of 2 scoops of flower and 1 scoop of veg works great for me.

I assume you’re already in flower but that may not be the case.. but I treat my breeding plants as normal. Again, plenty of phosphorus is necessary in flowering, but most cannabis products over indulge in P so you should be fine there, but depends what product you’re using

Keep it normal as if you were flowering. Phosphorus is vital in seed development- make sure you got plenty of that..
