Day 18. Showing sex. When should I start flower nutes?

Hey AFN, my girl is on day 18 and growing in FoxFarms Happy Frog. I know this mix has nutes in it already and I have only watered with PH'd water this far. When should i start her on some bloom nutes?

Nice healthy looking plant mate . I usually start to introduce bloom nutes at a quarter strength 7-10 days after showing sex.

Thanks brother! It is my first time and I'm fumbling my way through it. If I can make it to harvest without killing her I will be happy.

Many growers also begin flowering nutes when vertical growth ceases.

Is she showing any pistils (hairs) yet?
If so feed your flowering nutes... are you using bottled nutes?

Yes she is showing numerous sets of pistols. I'm worried about nute burn though. Do you think I will be ok using nutes with the happy frog soil this early? She is 3 weeks old today.

FloridaCracker...
I think you would do fine feeding her some nutes @ 1/4 strength... feed, water... water, feed.
Watch her closely and if she responds well, continue... after a 3-5 days... increase, but increase gradually!
Do this and you should be fine... happy frog, after two weeks of watering etc... gets depleted of it supplied nutrients as well.
Holler if I may help in anyway.

Thanks so much @Tree

Hold of on the bloom nutrients for now fox Farm is hot stuff let her finish stretching then add 1/4 strength I'd say wait another 14 days before adding any bloom nutrients

For now try to open the canopy by tieing down some branches and leaf tucking she will start to fill out and gain hight daily the last thing u wanna do is burn her just be patient and let her do her thing

if you have a ppm meter you can test the run off and tell when the nutrients is getting weaker
