I am getting ready to start 12/12 tomorrow and was wondering if I need to do anything speacial. I have Tiger Bloom nutes from Fox Farm. Feed before 12/12? Flush? Anything else I may need to know?

Before 12/12 i would:

I would train the plant as best possible to capture light.
I would stake it in now if needed for later, which can be used to train the plant outwards to allow more light in the middle. (this applies if you have some branches and not one main top)
I would lollipop the plant (remove lower smaller weaker branches and leaves - transfer energy to top(s))
I would remove selected largest fan leaves at the top canopy to allow more light down lower

I would flush a bit later into flower or do it now, then wait to go 12/12. I like to minimize stress around that sensitive time...
I also like to start giving some bloom nutes right before I go 12/12. Foxfarm open sesame is designed specifically for this...

Good luck!

There is nothing really you need to do in the start of flowering ie;week but at the end of week one get some advanced big bud add at 2ml per litre of water along with the base nutes add these for 4 week then at week 6 add pk 13/14 from canna,these two nutes will make a really big differance to your yeild.Go with 1.4 ec at week one of flowering,start of week 2 1.5 ec all the way through the flowering but flush at the end of week 4 with water for a day or so then back to nutes has soon has dry, then flush again at end of week 9 then chop let dry then smoke it.No matter what strain i all ways flower for min of 10 week sometimes 12/13,you will be amazed at the differance it makes letting your plants run for these few extra weeks.You should be flowering at about 2 ft tall if you have the height in the room,and they should throw you a min of 8/10 oz bone dry...................tyke

Before you switch to 12/12 it is perfectly fine and good to remove any foliage needed, especially select large top fan leaves. Once you turn to 12/12, del66666 is absolutely correct. Don't remove anything unless its clearly dying or dead.
