Flower food, or hurry up and wait another week?
AbsoluteBudinnerstarted grow question 2y ago
So, week 3 veg, plants have exploded in growth.
Starting to see white hairs at the top of each branch.
Should I switch to flowering nutrients, or give them another week of veg food?
Thanks to all rellies by the way. Community here is super helpful, encouraging and friendly!

Hello-
I, personally, would start tapering off on the veg nutrients. Your plants appear dark in color to me and show the possibility of a little nitrogen toxicity. Perhaps next week you can start tapering in flower nutrient amendments.
Then after two weeks you'd be on primarily flower nutes. With the visible pre-flowers, she's getting ready for the switch.
I say this primarily because the nutes I'm using now seem to be added to some degree just prior to flower. But I still haven't found the ideal balance. I don't see what nutes you are using on the diary.

No, if its veg you should continue with veg feeds, showing sex is not same as flowering or preflowers ...

Keep up with the grow until there are small tufts of pistils/small budlets forming.
Cannabis still needs adequate nitrogen in early flower to help with "the stretch".
A few white pistils is only pre-flowring, not actual flowering.......flowering proper will start in about 2 weeks, until then, keep using "grow" nutrients.

You can switch to flower food in a week. It still has some nitrogen but its going to need more P and K now that it is starting to flower. But if just starting to see white hairs then just pre flowering, and will probably see her start to stretch this week. Once you see her start to gain some height you can go to bloom. She will be hungry by then too.
