Fertilizer Question

So i have three top 44 plants about 14 inches tall 1 week into blooming. For the veg stage i was using miracle grow 12-4-8 fertalizer.

I have some blooming feratlizer 2-11-11 but when should I start applying it, how much to use and how ofter?

follow the instructions on the bottle cuz all fert concentrations are different. what works for one fert may be way to much with another. read the directions. you can start immediately and start with 1/2 concentration and feed them every other watering

keep feeding half of the veg food that you were until you see that her flowering stretch has stopped, then cut them down to 1/4 of the max mix you used in veg.
When you start seeing pistils/hairs developing start her off weak on flower nutes and build up to a full strenght dose within 4-5 weeks, taper off a little after that and then flush for 2 weeks.
I say 2 weeks because you used a crappy plant food and that taste will be really heavy in there if you dont. It works but it dosent all the same, accommodations need to be made for it.

Thanks. That helps alot. I checked today and I already see pistils on 2 of the plants.

What veg fertilizer would you recommend then?

congrats brother!

Id reccomend "general hydroponics 3 part" or Advanced nutrients 3 part fertilizers myself because the feedings can be controlled so much better with them.
Sensi A &b or a two part feed like that would work pretty well too though.

Just try to stay away from grainy solid feeds. Some of them are okay but most of them have some pretty bad stuff in them for your plants.

Thanks. I'll look into that for my next grow, which i'll start in may, because it's going to be much much bigger than three plants.
