I see your medium is comprized of fox farm ocean forrest, vermiculite, perlite, compost and peat moss according to your week 3 entry. I would stick to the dry amendments for this grow if it was me and they can be mixed into the topsoil and then watered in with PH adjusted water. its simple and easy. as Ezzjaybruh said down to earth, dr earth or Gaia Green are good companies that make whole ingredient dry amendments that need microbes to break em down. GIven they are photoperiod they can take the extra feed that is present in fox farms ocean forest soil. some autos have issues with that. If you want to use liquid/crystal nutrients I would highly suggest investing in a EC pen to calculate the concentration of the feeding solution. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool to help find/solve issues should they arise. And just like Ezzjaybrush said, if you have just switched to flower give them food now as they are preparing to stretch and want a good helping of nutrients. One other option is top dressing with just FFOF soil mixed with worm castings as a small feed till you get some other fertilizers in the medium. Let us know what you plan on feeding them with and we can give you some better feedback and direction. FYI: We will not be notified of any reply or tag [@] in the questions part of the website, if you need to reach out with other information use your DM "direct mailbox" in the bottom right hand corner of the page. it looks like a little paper airplane icon. Best Of Luck!

I don't grow photos - only autos - but as a rule of thumb, I start adding Bloom nutes during pre-flower at 1/4-1/2 strength to give them the boost they're going to need to start setting good bud sites. When they're in full flower (for autos, about a week later), I will start adding PK boost again at a lower dosage while bringing the Bloom nutes up... so not specifically knowing how to treat photos, I would tend to listen to Ezzjaybruh and m0use here since their answers tend to make sense to me... Good luck!

i dont start bloom nutes before end of second week EVERRR. plant will need most P and K between weeks 3/4/5 so loading with bloom nutes before those week locks the soil/medium. also during week 1 and 2 and most of week 3 is where the plants stretches the most and creates more nodes thus using moreee nitrogen( i add silica at this point makes it tough AF!!) they still need P and K at weeks 1 2 and half of 3 but in a very slightly hire concentrations which is why i keep using grow nutes till mid week 3. from end of week 3 i start going in at 3/4 dose bloom nutes and peak full dose at end or mid of week 4 thru out week5 with boosters ;) ( WEEKS 4-6 is where most plants show a potassium or phosphorus deficiency as they require much more P/K and few of N) . after week 6 no more boosters i go onto some overdrive from with 3/4 dose base and gradually decrease to flush week 8 and harvest on 9th or 10th week.

As far as timing - if you choose amendments- you’ll wanna put some flower specific ones in ASAP After flip day, I usually begin feeding flower nutes after 7 days in 12/12, not maxed out usually until week of day 14-21

Nugsery - He’s saying he “put them in flower” as in he just changed the light cycle. Ffs Depends if you’re gonna feed by bottle or wanna try top dressing with amendments. And what specifically you use depends on your chosen brand or product. GH makes a simple cheap product that works well. Or you can stick with fox Farm and do their trio (but be warned their recommendations for dosing are super high and if you choose them, run 1/4-1/3 strength nutes) I’m currently using Athena’s Blended Line and loving it. Used all three of these with good results. If you want to top dress with amendments, that’s more outside my expertise but I’ve done it a few cycles. Dr earth makes a great product as well as Gaia green.. if you wanna customize your amendments- down to earth has a whole line of stuff you can mix up your own custom amendments.

They did not start flowering yet! Wait till you see the first white pistils. When they appear she started to pre flower. From that moment you can add a basic blooming nutrient. The plant will start streching for 2-3 weeks and after the buds will start to swell. From the moment the plant stops streching and the buds start to swell she started the flowering phase. From this moment you can add a PK-Booster like PK 13/14 to your basic blooming nutrient solution. You can start with a EC 1.2 with your first nutrient solution during pre flowering. And build this up every week with EC 0.1 till you reached EC 1.6 When you reached EC 1.6 you can keep giving this amount till flushing 2 weeks before harvest. Enjoy your grow!
