veg nutes or bloom nutes during stretch ?

just flipped to 12/12, do i continue to use veg nutes during stretch or do I switch to bloom nutes ?
Im using DynaGro Foilage and DynaGro bloom.

I usually run my veg nutes a week or two after I flip the lights, or I'll start doing 50/50 with veg and bloom nutes. Seems to work good and it seems like my ladies like the extra N during the stretch.

Id use the foliage pro all the way through. No bloom. If you want to use the bloom do a 50/50 mix the last two weeks of flower. Dyna's bloom is a very odd NPK, which I why I say it's not meant to be used as a stand alone nutrient, unless you like nitrogen defeciences.

Any chance of a side by side with veg and bloom nutes? See if there is a difference.. But I would start using bloom after 4 weeks veg

I think that would really depend on what nutes the person is using. Like I use jacks classic and jacks bloom so its 20-20-20 and 10-30-20 respectively, so doing a side by side wouldn't really make much of a difference in my case. I think most of us are saying just to use a nute with higher N the first 2-3 weeks of flowering.

DG Bloom has a strong ratio (1:4:2). I rarely make it to 1:3:2 at the *end* of flower. I shoot for 1:2:1.5 by the end of flower. (Raising P to 3 would be "booster" to me.).

I ease into lower N, higher P. Mid flower might be 1-1.5-1.5.

By itself, Foliage Pro is 3-1-2.

In transition I would mix 75/25 for 1.43-1-1.14
In mid flower mix 50/50 for 1-1.25-1.
Late flower: 25/75 for 1-2.17-1.33

I would call them and see if they have a schedule. I'm sure they don't expect people to switch to Bloom nutes at transition.

Many people use all purpose fertilizers ie Peters 20-20-20 throughout their grows successfully. I've seen a lot of new growers use high P foods with low N and they wonder why their leaves start yellowing..
