What nute schedules do you have for your plants from veg to harvest

half strength for vegging plants, half strength for beginning of flowering, full strength before the flush before the harvest? when to flush, when to not water etc

how often do you change your res?

can i use nutrients that are made for veggin for flowering plants... its still a nute right? i dont have flowering nutes atm.

When to trim fan leaves? only trim fan leaves when buds form, then trim around bud locations?

cutting back? if one plant is too tall... should i cut back? what is the correct way to cut back a plant and where? will this increase top bud growth?

thanks

any recommended nutes for flowering?

an A and a B, or a one bottle nute...

i have read that the A and B combos are better because they keep the molecules intact and strong...

in the meantime while i dont have the flowering nute... can i flush my plants... its the beginning of their flowering right now... can i just get away with phd water until i get the new nutes?

you can get away but not for long maybe a week.
AnB are great also one parts work great too;).

Yea flush them so all salts are gone when transitioning into the flower phase.
