[dsq1989]

im gona be starting 12/12 today and was wondering when the correct time is to switch from grow big to the tiger bloom and big bloom. when i do switch do i use both together from the beginning? and what strength should i start them at? thanks for taking the time to help.

On the day you switch to 12/12, switch nutes. I even give it a tiny TINY dose of beastie bloom to encourage early flower formation.

From what I have been reading, it sounds like plants like a gradual shift in nutes. I am new to this, so don't take my work for it, but your plants are still going to veg for a bit even though they will start to flower.

Mine continued with frightening growth for about 2 weeks after I switched the lights. They did start to flower, too, but kept getting taller.

Now finally into week 3, they have slowed down growing in height to a crawl and I noticed a sudden filling out of the little buds. So now I am upping the flowering nutes and minimizing Grow Big.

So you may need to continue with some Grow Big but at a lesser strength. And introduce Tiger Bloom at, say 1/4 to 1/2 strength for a few waterings and see how they react. Not sure about Beastie Bloomz, Open Seasame, etc. as those seem pretty potent.

thanks sunblazer that sounds pretty reasonable.
