The flowering seedlings in my greenhouse are growing fast. [clappy]

My question is once they get to the flowering stage do I change my regular fertilizer to one that boosts the plants into bloom? [flower]

I will be selling some of these to friends in the next few weeks and I'm wondering if this is a good idea? They always ask what colors will I see? [thinker]

I am not sure what youare using now, but you could either go a special bloom type fert like a 20-30-20 or just a good all purpose fert like a 20-20-20.

Then I would not switch, that fert should do a good job at pushing blooms. [Smile]
