So you run veg nutes from beginning to end?.. It depends on the strain I guess. Pinene to acetyl methyl anthranilate, apples to oranges.
"The carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH) presumes that carbon and nutrient availability in the plant environment determines the production of metabolites. When nutrients, especially nitrogen, are highly scarce, a plant will allocate proportionately more of an abundant resource, such as carbon, to the acquisition of the scarce resource and to the synthesis of defensive compounds"
"The growth differentiation balance hypothesis (GDBH), also referred to as “excess carbon hypothesis”, assumes that there are 3 types of balance between growth and terpenoid production. Whenever all required resources for growth are available, that is under soils rich in nutrient resources, the theory prescribes that growth (e.g. cell division, biomass production), will be favored over differentiation (e.g. cell maturation and production of defensive compounds). As nitrogen becomes scarcer and not optimal, differentiation will predominate, and consequently terpenoid accumulation or emission will increase at the expense of growth, since the plant allocates proportionately more of an abundant resource, such as carbon, to the acquisition of the scarce resource and to the synthesis of defensive compounds. Finally, under limiting nutrient conditions, both primary and secondary metabolisms are at their lowest levels."
