Everyone has a nutrient line they like, and most of us have a nice formula.mix they stick with. But then once in a while we throw in an addition to this mix to see if it helps. This post is to see what little things make a big difference.

for example. I have run the technaflora recipe for sucess for a long time now, but about 4 months ago I added in Rock Resonator. This isn't the first additve I had tried, but it was the first to make a notable difference. It increased my yield slightly but more noticeably it increased the resin production and stickiness of my bud dramatically helping with bag appeal. ---- I add 2.5ml per gallon during

That is what I want, an addition you have made, a single nute that has made a diffrence, tell me why you like it, what its called and when and how much you use.

Advanced Nutrients - Nirvana.

While growing in Coco with Canna Coco A+B, I use it during weeks 3-6.

what weeks do you run it at? or do you just wait till you start to see flower's?
Start Week 4 or week 5, use it until she finishes. I've been using it for a year now its some good stuff,increases trichrome production, makes your buds harder. It works, but its also expensive. My friend owns a hydro-store, he was telling me there's this "edge" stuff that works even better. You only have to use it 3 times in the 5th week of flower. I forget exactly what he told me I was stoned. :)

General Organics Bio Root. This stuff helps clones root faster then just putting the root plugs in water but the biggest thing I noticed is my plants in veg went crazy with growth. It is now a staple in my nute line up. I hope to see a large difference in bud size with molasses but I will need to report back on that one.

It seems bloombastic wont work for me. I don't run large harvest at once, I tend to stagger them. I try and pull up a few plants every week, but I have 6 pot UC systems I built ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4DXt020pL4 ) because of this I can't lock down the week by week nutes I need more of a throughout Flower additive. Also jjlongo I try not to use things labeled organic, it usually just means inconsistent and over priced. From every bit of research I've done there is no difference to a plant weather it is "organic" or not. Organic is just a buzz word taken out of scientific context which means with carbon. Generally they are produced naturally and in doing so have factors that are beyond control and cause them to vary, inorganic nutes are far more consistent, often utilizing PH buffers and in the end all the "you can taste it" is bs, I've done both and when someone doesn't know they can't taste it and your plants utilize it the exact same way. I'm not trying to get on a soapbox, and I if someone has first hand testimony saying a particular organic works exceedingly well I might try it, its just something I tend to avoid at this point.

I have been using bul moon nutes for 3 or 4 month now I use there full line up and other than the powerded addtives that I don't use they work better than the others I have used. The powerd part of there line up plug's my hydro system so I don't use them. I don't think you can buy bul moon if you don't live in or around Seattle. If you use water pumps the powered nutes will plug them up. I guess if I don't use 2 of there addtives I'm not really useing there full line up.

depending on strain, and where they are at in terms of growth. basically when she is done stacking flowers, and starting to swell. i like to wait until all 'preflowers' are starting to touch. week 4 1ml, week 5 and 6 gets 2ml, back down to 1ml for 7 and 8th week(again, depending on strain):leaf:
