Personally, the day I cut back the lights is the day I switch to bloom ferts and I've heard Magash suggest this as well.

High amounts of nitrogen is known to cause issues during flowering I believe.

Sure high amounts of nitrogen can cause problems.  But I didn't tell him to do it all the way through flowering.  Just the first week dude.

That's fine. I figured, if the extra nit delay's flowering then why give his plants lot's of nit during the first week of flowering? If he's not switching from veg nutes to bloom nutes then what purpose does a transition serve, and is it really a transition?

There are a handful of guides out on the internet that talk about Stretch minimization in cannabis, and many mention reducing nitrogen during the initial weeks of flowering to reduce the stretch. They do recommend using a transition ratio of bloom and veg nutes to maintain a medium amount of nitrogen. rollitup 420mag

So I really don't think it makes sense to give them veg from the start and then transition. You might as well start with a 50/50 mix like stoney said, and then transition from that as that would probably be safer.
