What are you using in soil?
I have three cycles currently in play. New grow room.
1st round is bag seed in Miracle Grow, 3 weeks into bloom. No fertilizers given to date as none needed.
2nd round is Gods Bud and some sort of Diesel, 3 of each in Miracle Grow and 3 of each in Fox Farms Ocean Forest. 5 weeks into veg. No fertilizers given to date.
3rd round is a mixture 50/50 MG/FFOF 2 week seedlings BC Big Bud.
So I am looking to supplement in bloom to help the girls along.
Just looking for advice on bloom fertilizers.... not what growing medium I should be using... I have to buy local, ordering dirt off the web not an option on the island.

No reason to. A plant needs 16 elements to survive nothing more. It's up to the grower decide how to source and deliver them. OP stated he was was using some very basic items and needed something g to beef up p&k. Suggested some items that will work with his current program and budget, Kool Bloom being the cheapest and Bloombastic big on the high side. I've been doing this over ten years, had much of my product on the top shelf of many Bay Area dispensaries and seen countless different grows and methods. Sometimes the best answer is the one that works for the growers current setup. Not by any means trying to discredit waht the video may be saying. Most of us experienced growers all know the same thing that is most of what you see in a grow shop is not necessary for success. But they are also full of great tools to do the job correctly.

The video tells the actual nutrient ratios in the plants for each stage.

It does not vary like the bloom product ratios.

My yield and quality went up when I stopped switching to or adding them.

They do prematurely ripen the plant so you can crop sooner.

For KISS you may wanna check out megacrop: one powder all the way thru, very cheap, says its ph stable and they are on the forum. People have great results with it and seems to stay with it after they tried.

Mono Potassium Phosphate.. 0-52-34...Use when buds very 1st start to set. 3rd/4th weeks on an 8 week strain. Adjust accordingly for shorter/longer flowering.
3 Level TSP Epsom Salts/5 Gallons Water from weeks 1-4 flowering/8 week strain, and 1.5 TBLSP Epsom Salts/5 gallons water weeks 5-6, and back of to 1 TBLSP weeks 7-8.

Its been determined by Tissue Analysis the best Basic marijuana formula is

19.5-20-39. With Extra Magnesium, and some strains also like more Iron.

Weed likes 2x Potassium vs Nitrogen, and is also FAKE NEWS, and Internet Fable that weed need LESS NITROGEN IN FLOWERING.
THIS IS A MYTH. I CAN EXPLAIN WHY IF YOU MUST KNOW.

It also consumes a HUGE amount of Magnesium if given the chance. Weed is 1 of the biggest users of Mg there is.

So consider weed like 19.5-20-39.

Add in the Mono Potassium Phosphate and in weeks 3-4 the total Ratio goes up to 19.5-72-73!!!!!!!! While at the same time increasing Magnesium.

Myself, along with a few others, have found this to not be true.

For veg cheap 20-20-20 works really well.
I continue this well into flower, this run I used it into week 4, I just hit week 5 an I may even use it another time or 2. I also use high PK nutrients in flower to help with flower set starting just before the flip to 12/12. One of my bloom nutes is 1-5-4 an the other is a 9-58-8. Working fantastic.
