Should I be using bloom nutes now?

Hey everyone I got a few plants growing and they have some serious pre flower stuff going on now and im not sure when to switch to bloom nutes. I go feed them tomorrow so I would like to know either one more week of grow or make the switch to bloom.

also the plants are outdoors so how much water should I be giving them? As of now I have a 5 gallon water jug that I use to water 8 plants all aprox. 6' tall. I usually just fill it once with water and nutes and that is for them. Should I use more water than that?

Here are some pics of the plants in their current stage in life.

Also what about how much water should they be getting with each feed. Is 5 gallons enough for 8 plants to mix the nutes in with ?

I don't really measure the water I give my plants. Just roughly the same amount every day. Don't think about stuff so much because you'll go crazy. Go with the flow and keep the soil juicy!

Quick! Use some flowering nutrients, but start slow, say 1/4-1/2 the recommended dosage. As for water, if the look happy, then just keep doing your thing.

No dude!! GIVE THEM BLOOM NUTES LIKE YESTERDAY!! you are in Full blown FLOWER MODE!! Seriously though hook em up but as someone else mentioned keep giving them a LITTLE bit of nitrogen till 3 or 4 weeks into flower. maybe week after next the way yours already look. so just keep alittle of your veg nutes in the mix till then. About 1/4 of what you normally would. As far as water amounts go. just keep doing what your doing if they are looking healthy and not too droopy. Hope this helps.

Keep it smoking!

far as watering, soak them and keep close watch, when they barely show sign of droop, water again. Then you have a benchmark as to how often they need water. This is how I feed (your mileage may vary and y7our plants have different needs)....I soak them pretty decently but not way to much. I give the water 30 or so minutes to moisten the soil, then mix up my nutes and water with that. Helps avoid burn, and with the soil pre-moistened, the water with the nutes flows right thru the soil and is easily absorbed by the roots.

That's just me though, experiment and find out what works for you

Yes indeed and u deserve rep for.that obvivous fact but in the practical sence males don't flower produce seeds do absolutely nothing other than make butiful little pollen sack.

Yes u r in bloom that's what I was getting at with my post no stages in or out all Thu some nutes call for certian timing
