Flipping to flower - general tips that work for you

Hey everyone, I am switching over to flower, 130 plants of the "God" strain. I have been vegging these beauties for 6 weeks and they are ready to go. What are some good tips that i should start implementing? Because Ive been vegging for so many weeks it is easy to get into a routine and I understand that there are some differences in what I do with the plants once I go into flower mode. I took a 4 year break from growing (legal issues) and just started again. Previously I had always grown spikes (in promix) but now I am growing trees.

For instance....When I change the timers to 12/12 Do I give them full nutes, half nutes, or just water? Do I flip them right after or before a big watering session (they are due for a large water in the next 12 hours or so, also do i do a large water or a half water to stimulate even more root growth?). Do I add my carbs before or after I flip them? Do I lower the temperature slightly in the rooms?

Any suggestions/tips to help get a larger yield would be greatly appreciated. What works for you?

Method: General hydroponics, promix, 1000w

Thanks in advance everyone

First off I`m new to all of this indoor stuff so if I`m way wrong sorry! I have found that if I stick to the veg nutes (same strength as have been running) and the same PH for a couple of weeks plants seem happier. Also when I flip I use a MH light for the first 2-3 weeks and it really helps with stretch and keeps things tighter. If possible I try to keep temps as close as possible from lights on to lights off to help control stretch as well. As far as watering, I`m doing flood and drain so that all stays the same. If your growing in soil I would think monitoring the level of dampness would be the best way to establish a watering schedule. My girls dont seem to use much more water until half way through the flower stage then they really suck it up at about 10-15 litres a day for 6 plants per res. Sounds like your gonna be busy in a few months lol.
