I have been using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro grow which is 3-2-4, furring the vegetative stage.
I have read that two weeks before the flowering stage that I should switch to a fertilizer that is lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus.

Should I use the same brand's version of the flowering stage fertilizer which is 2-3-5, or can you recommend a brand of fertilizer?

Thanks,
Insomniac

Botanicare is some good stuff. I personally don't use it (Besides CalMag+ and Sweet)

Someone I'm sure will post some experience, but here is a link to a feeding schedule from Botanicare which may help you out:

I think you mean 2 weeks after 12/12

Cutting off nitrogen 2 weeks before flowering is the LAST thing you want to do. You actually want to give it its last veg feeding in those first 2 weeks of flower. Then switch to the pro blend bloom.

But if you cut the N that early your plant will hate you for it.

I read on another site that said: "too much nitrogen delays flowering"
and that some growers double the P two weeks before switching lights to 12/12..

i used pure blend pro series for my last grow and would continue feeding my plants veg nutes two weeks into flowering as well, and slowly start adding in the flowering nutes after that......it's gonna help em thru the stretch phase

Thanks, I will probably fade out of the veg nutes as I fade into the flower nutes

Too much nitrogen will cause burn before it delays flowering. Without giving your plants Nitrogen durring that stretch phase, they will be almost yellow in week 3-4 of flower.
