I have a blackberry auto from fast buds which reached week 7 :clap: It has been growing about an inch in height for the past 2 weeks and is now at 2 feet I started seeing tiny buds and of course a lot of hair But I still havent swiched nutes because I dont want It to stop its growth in height and dont want it to stay small even tho it has been topped(2 main colas) which it wont reach its 40 inches the breeder is mentioning but I still want it to get to the maximum of its potential do you guys think I should switch to flowering nutes I will include pics thanks happy growing:blsmoke:

Give the plant what it wants.
If she likes what you're give her, why rock the boat?
My concern is if I keep giving her veg nutes It will get nitrogen toxicity or the worst would be not getting flowering nutes early enough to get the maximum yield possible thats my issue right now

Bloom nutes. Are you giving cal mag and Micros from a 3-part system? If so consider the nitrogen in those. I cut my grow component in half in bloom over what the manufacturer suggests. If it runs short of nitrogen she'll show it.

Nitrogen is the most quickly utilized of the salts. It's also the most quickly depleted in soil. Watch for yellow lower leaves. If they start to show give her a weak shot of nitrogen.

So should I switch my nutes to bloom right now or until it stops growing in height?

Go now. What nutes are you using? Just make sure you drop recommended overall nitrogen. Are you planning to give Big Bud? If so it's recommended weeks 2-4 of flower only.

Also I strongly suggest Great White or Mykos. Mycchorizae are most responsible for uptake of phosphorous. Mykos is cheaper and what I use but if price was no objet I would go Great White.

I included a picture of my nutrients which are go box from organic hydroponics!

Go with Week 4 for transition if you haven't already. That schedule looks really good BUT don't get in a hurry trying to match weeks. Less is better in nutes and water always.
