Do you use Bloom / PK boosters?

[Axion42]

Wanted to get an idea about what people think of these products. CANNA Bloom, PK 13/14, Big Bud, Ionic boost, ect ect...there are so many. Do you use them, are they just a marketing scam to buy more crap your plants dont need? What are your thoughts? Personally I haven't used them before, just wondering if I'm missing out.

 

[Hugo Phurst]

Yes, I use a Bud supplement.

What is the brand? And have you done any side by side comparisons with, and without the supplement?

I’m using liquid Kool Bloom. I’d like to think that’s why my girls are way frostier this grow. 4 strains last grow were ok but not overly frosty. This time around at 5 weeks two other strains way ahead in trichomes production.

Do you use throughout entire flower period, or last few weeks of flower like some boosters state?

Was using the stuff on the left, lasted forever. Dutch Nutrient for now. Never did a side by side, and I've used a Bud Booster pretty much since I started growing.
Directions say use weeks 3 - 6 I do believe & don't over do it, it's better to use too little than too much.

Than you.
This is Canada with the 4 plant grow, to be conservative I'll say 18 months. Cost $26 taxes in.
I've been doing business with Steve's Hydroponics for some time, and while they're happy to take your money, they don't try to sell you what you don't need.
Besides Nutes, B52 (that's costly) & a Bud Booster is all they insisted on.

Very nice. Only nutes I have been using my past 3 grows are CANN vega a+b, canna flores a+b, and flawless finish last week with distilled water. Am wondering about boosters, I feel like my yields have been consistent enough to know if the booster actually did something for me. Think I'll give it a shot I'm about to flip 12/12 in 2 weeks.

I was advised to use liquid till the last two week then use the powdered version.

most bud i smoke with bloom boosters used on them give me a super bad cough for days flem and all sorts

 

[KryptoBud]

The flawless finish is only magnesium sulfate or epsom salt.

The phosphorus needs of your plants is actually pretty low making essentially all 'blossom boosters' a waste of money. If someone is already using a balanced plant food a 'blossom booster' will actually do more harm than good.

 

[myke]

Yes ,I use a bottle everyday to hold down my note pad from the fan.

 

[rollyouron]

no

 

[xtsho]

The same ingredients in bloom boosters that do anything are in the base nutrients I use. I have no need to add additional bloom boosters.

That ain’t the bloom boosters

 

[NirvanaMesa]

Its a waste, your plant cant use that much fert. You are better off with something well rounded with a good micro package. Dyna-gro bloom is about the most simple 1 bottle entire grow you could do an even it has more P than your plants will need.

u can taste advanced nute big bud regardless of flush time
