Switching from Veg to Bloom

Flipping crop in 5 days or so, just watered today with vegging nutrients. My next scheduled watering will be around the same time with only water. Should I switch my nutrient blend to flowering blend when I change the light schedule or should I wait for first sign of bloom. Any input would be appreciated, I haven't had luck with helpful feed back on this site so please help.

Lots of different theories out there on this. Some gradually transition over a couple weeks. I used to do it this way. Other just switch at next feeding. Thats what I do know, just hard switch at next feeding, no transition and no schedule. It works for me.

Thanks bro that coincides with other advice I've gotten.
Like most stuff with growing weed. Keep ph rite, feed and water properly and they take care of the rest. Just relax, first couple grows might turn out to be dumpster fires but you'll adapt if your patient.

I'm on it first. Grow has been nerve racking.
I had a friend about lost his mind on first grow. I basically moved in with him for a moth to get him to harvest. He was a basket case. I think(like all of us) he had all his spare coin invested in gear and if the grow didn't make it he'd be without bud and his ol lady would give him shit for wasting a bunch of money. Take that and not having a clue how to grow and it really fucks some people up.

Just relax, its a weed. It may look like shit, taste like shit, and be a small haul but if you keep bugs and mold off it you WILL have something to smoke in 2 to 4 months.... lol

That's the ultimate goal to keep the jar full. My intake has gotten pretty high in the last few years. It was either give it up [NOT AN OPTION], or grow it. Brother you have lifted my spirits for the day thank you.

It’s looking really good if I may say so. Definitely switch to bloom, it will encourage the flowing hormones. Even with the rapid growth during the first few weeks nitrogen deficiency is extremely rare.

Gotcha, thanks couple other growers says they're thriving. They use HPS and MH, I'm running under LEDs. They tell me the lights are pretty impressive.

l love my LED. I was having huge heat issues with my hps setup. Switched and never looked back. I got over 1000 buck invested in lights now.
 
I use nanolux’s that ramp upto 1200W each. I haven’t even tried an LED for growing yet, I keep checking them out in the shops over time. They seem to be almost there now.
Anyway for a beginner the room is clean, tidy and seems to be running well. The pots are up and the plants look great. The true test will be in the flowering, it will be interesting to see how they perform. All the best pal.
