They should say on the bottles. Thats what I go by with my advanced nutrients line. I was kind of wondering the same thing as I just flipped to 12/12 on monday.

I can help you out with 2 of them anyways. Bud Candy is weeks 1 through 6. And if sensizym is just like the product (which I think it is, can check advanced nutrients website) Grozym then I would use it with every watering throughout the entire life of your plant minus the last 2 weeks of flower. Grozym breaks down old roots to help make room for new ones. Can also be used as a foliar feed to help wash your leaves once a week.

I water one week then feed the next week. So I worked it out that my first week of flower would be water. I add grozym to every watering/feeding as well as "Prosilicate" (Grotek) (just because I have it kicking around 0-0-3) and just because I too didnt know what to do I added some super natural tea bloom (mother earth advanced nutrients) at the "mix dosage" which is about half of the "by itself dosage" because it can be used as an additive or a base nutrient. Figured it wouldnt hurt.

Technically I think I am suppose to be watering and feeding in the same week to follow a regular nutrients chart because the dosages and chemicals change every week but anyways.. I basically did a water on the first week of flower and added a little bloom just in case. Hope that helps haha

:idea:the first 2 weeks of 12/12 are still veg.
Yes the first 2 weeks of flower area bout stretching out what they've got left in them energy wise then its all focus on nug after that point. If you have height restrictions for example or want to keep them small because of a SOG then you would not feed them veg nutes (SOG people dont feed them veg. nutes period). With most bloom nutes or transitional nutes they still carry nitrogen in them. This is why I still felt fine with the mother earth bloom 3-2.3-5 going in. Bud candy is suppose to be used weeks 1-6 of flower for example. That is straight bloom nutrients. To each there own.

Thats awesome ok good to know man thanks! Someone on here told me to water then feed then water then feed awhile back. But i think that was because he knew i was a newbie and had so much equipment and nutrients that he figured he would break me into the "less is more" way of thinking.

I fed them full veg nutrients second week after potting my clones. A lot of people said to be careful with some of the additives like voodoo juice, to use it at half strength. They took it like champs. To see that was even a step up for me so ya I think I am going to break in without waterings now and just feeds once a week. Once they start soaking up quicker then I can switch over to twice a week or a water and a feed in one week. They are in 3L pots and i just started giving them 1L on monday and they are already soaked up, so thats a good sign. Feeding time tomorrow, they will explode :bigjoint:
