Nutrient questions

[heathcliff]

When can I start to give my plants bloom nutrients? I've heard once the flowers are about the size of a grape I can switch 2 Bloom and vegetative nutrients together lightly. And gradually go to all bloom. Is this true? If so any recommendations on how to do it. And should I flush between the two stages. Also how many watering Zen cocoa does it take to flush?

Yeah, some people transition the bloom and veg nutes for a time, but probably more just switch when vertical growth of the plant has stopped. Kind of also depends on what your nutes and medium are, you have to make sure the bloom and veg can be used together without doubling up a particular element.

As far as flushing during the grow, it's generally good to do a quick flush once or twice to prevent buildup before it's too late, but it's not always needed -- again, depends on the setup.

After a light flush, it's good to finish with dilute nutes so you don't strip everything out of the plant.

Yeah what he said lol. With autos you can just switch when it feels right, like when the plant is saying shes about done stretching and is ready to flower. I guess it takes a few grows to get a sense for that... but you'll see what I'm saying. : )
