continue using organic soil or blooming nutes for budding?

Sup guys, this here is my first attempt growing and things are going great so far. She's about 40 days old and I just put her under 12/12 3 days ago.
I'm using organic soil and haven't needed any nutes yet. Due to transplanting her 4 times I guess.
Should I get some blooming nutes for her? Or should I continue using the organic stuff in the soil( ffof). Thanks

FFOF will give you 4-5 weeks and then it needs to be supplemented. You shouldn't be using anything bloom specific this early in flower though. I would use something higher in nitrogen for the first few weeks of flower, and then once the stretch is over and bud set really begins taper off of the high N nutrients and start introducing some more bloom specific feed.

Thanks , thats the answer ive been waiting for. So do you suggest getting sum type of vegging nutes during
stretch or continue watering the organic soil? Thanks

At this point Id pick up a small jug of nutrients that is higher in N. You could try top dressing dry organic nutrients, but if you don't have a thriving colony of microbes in your soil that will be useless.... and I don't trust that Fox Farms has inoculated their soil well enough for that.

Out of curiosity, what is the NPK rating of the nutrients you currently have?

Like I said, I never used any nutes yet. She's only like 40 days old from seed and I transplanted her 4 times in organic soil. But I do have some nutes for vegging, again never used them. Is this okay? Thanks

She looks nice and healthy! I'd give it 3-4 weeks from the last transplant that you did with just plain water. You can then top dress some of that Maxi Grow. I'd start with half the amount that they recomend and just keep an eye on things. If you notice that the leaves start to look pale green give them another dose. Just sprinkle some on the top of your soil and then scratch it in a bit, and cover it with a couple inch layer of fresh soil.

That's a grow/vegative nutrient that you have there btw. What you want to be careful of is nutrients with a high P (phosphorous) content. That can lock out Ca and kill off any mycorrhizal fungi that has colonized your root zone. The bag that you have looks fine to me.

Thanks man I really needed to hear how she looks. Good info, I'll keep you updated.
