Switch to bloom nutes?

[Handyandy]

Greetings AFN. First time grower winging it so far with a lot of research and some trial & error.
My first autoflower has made it to day 35 and still growing around 1-2cm a day (0.5-1”). Based on the photos, would you suggest keep feeding Veg or switch to bloom nutes now? Last feed, I gave her half/half but not sure if it’s a good idea to do this for long. Growing in Coco BTW.

The easiest way to approach changing nutes for a rookie is doing what a lot of growers do. When vertical growth stops, begin flowering nutes.

From what I see in those images I would go with bloom nutes with a occasional low strength nitrogen feed....

a transition blend is fine for a 2-3 rounds,... but with those crowns, I'd start bloom nutes about now... any sign of color fade on lowers?

 

[Handyandy]

Thanks for all the replies. By the time I saw the comments, I had fed 3 rounds of veg/bloom mix and have now switched to bloom.
No sign of colour fade. All leaves still dark green.
Also, I’m growing in a small space with limited height. Is it ok to continue LST throughout flowering stage or should it be stopped now?

 

[Waira]

keep LT going to make things work, just be careful, hardened stems snap far more easily than newer, still growing ones,... mind the N inputs too, if your leaves are that deep,... go with all bloom now,...

 

[Handyandy]

Awesome. Good to know
Regarding N input, the nutrients range I’m using has a Base A+B that continues throughout the entire grow, just changing amounts slightly from grow to bloom. I’ve reduced this slightly and introduced the bloom booster at the recommended dose. It’s been almost a week and I’m seeing very slow growth in flowers/development. Is this normal or could I do anything differently?

Ph, temps, RH?

 

[Handyandy]

PH going in 5.9-6.1 (600-800PPM)
Temps 21-24C
RH 40-50%

a little on the cool side, part of the slowness,... not the bloom nutes though per se,... I see some minor tip burn, do you water to run-off? It's possible there's some nute salt build up in there, a cumulative thing that can screw with both pH and uptake,.. 600-800ppm, how often, and does that include your water's ppm's?
