When to switch the nutrients from vegging to flowering/fruiting on Hydroponic Tomato’s?

Hello, I’m growing tomoto’s in hydro for my first time. I have 4 tomato plants, One is about 4 ft tall and the other 3 are about 2 ft tall. The big one has started giving a few flower and it’s looking really nice. My problem is I’m not sure when to switch the nutrients to flowering phase. Should I do it when I first start seeing a few flowers or should I wait til all the flowers are open and ready to be pollinated. Any information would really be appreciated. Next is cucumbers, herbs and peppers.

  1. When the plant starts to flower, switch from a high nitrogen (high first number, i.e. 12-2-2) to a high phosphorus (high second number,i.e. 2-12-2).
