Help with nutes

I got some clones about a week ago and have been vegging them since. I have them in Happy Frog soil and they are growing great now and I'll probably veg them for another week before I switch them to a 12/12 light cycle. My question is what are the proper nutes and ratios I should be used during the stages of growth for my plants. I'm growing these indoors under CFLs(It's my first grow and i can't afford hps and all that yet). I know Happy frog has some nutrients in it, so I'm unsure as to how to flush it during the last few weeks of flowering and how much, if any nutrients I have to add. Any help is appreciated.
 
Every brand of Nutes will have different ratio's. What brand are you using? I would start @ 1/4 strength do it twice a week or so depending on brand. MAKE SURE TO PH after adding everything!!! Good luck, Peace

I'm not using any nutes right now other than the ones that are already in the Happy Frog. They got nute burned from the previous soil i had them in, so I've just been flushing them with water without nutes.
 
Cool, then just run h2o for a few days then you will have to start adding nutes. What brand are you going to go with? The nutes in the soil will only get them so far then you will have to start feeding.

I'm not sure what brand of nutes to go with. Do you have any recommendations?
 
I have ran many and always come back to Fox Farm. IF I switch again it will be to Canna, but that is a ways out as I will have to get the complete line and enough for 30+ gal rez.

if you had nut burns .. and will switch to 12/12 in a week ..

I wouldnt worry about veg nuts ... or flushing before flowering ..

just let it use up what it have left in the soil .. use normal clean water next few watering untill 12/12

then get a good flowering nuts (high P. and some K. no or littel N.) brand is`t that importent .. but make sure its for soil/terra and not hydro etc.

and also get some black strap molesse .. will help your soils micro life and provide some importent micros/trace elements aso.

Ok, thanks ill be sure to do that, i've been watering them with clean water since the nute burn. I was thinking that'd be a good idea to not use nutes till i flower since they just got over the nute burn. I just want to flower them soon because I don't want them getting to big. I'll be sure to just get flowering nutes. THat black strap molasses, do I just mix some in with the water along with the flowering nutes or how exactly do I use it and what's a good amount?
