Just starting flowering....Feeding Question (using Fox farm)

Hi everyone, I just swtiched my light timers to run 12/12 as of tonight and I had a question as far as my nutrients go. I am using the full fox farm lineup (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, open seasame, beastie, and cha ching).

I know i should obviously give the plants flowering nutes as they are entering flower, But normally when i switch to 12/12 i don't need to water right away and it allows me to wait a few days before starting in with tiger bloom.

So my question is since my plants need watering today and the 12/12 is just about to start should i feed with what i was using to veg, flower nutes, or just ph'd water?

if you just starting flowering, you should give your plants at least 24 hours of darkness before switching to to 12/12.
As far as nutrient, give your plants 1/2 strength for the first week.

thanks! what is the reason for the 24 hour darkness before switching to 12/12? Do i give 18 hour light then 24 hour dark? or just 12 hour light then the 24 hour dark? and as far as nute level i always start at 1/2 strength or less, thanks for the advice.

The 24 hour dark period is to make sure you don't shock your plants.
