Finishing off strategy with AN Overdrive

Hi, I am on 6 weeks +1 day in flowering . I have been running PK 13/14 since third week, first 0.3ml/ liter then after a week 0.75ml/ liter...then 1.0ml/liter and last 2 weeks around 1.5ml/liter.(and base nutes to get EC to around 2.0 .the buds look ok swelled up quite nicely..little bit airy but other vise ok .Its a 9 week strain ,,they started flower almost instantly after flip...but I am prepared to do 10 weeks or more if needed..
so in a regular recommendation of Canna Coco A+B they say 3 weeks before harvesting to use PK 13/14..so that would be now the on going week...but I am wondering should I let it go to the end of this 7 week with that regular PK or should I switch to Advanced Nutrients Overdrive already and run that the next 2 weeks + some base nutes.......any suggestions ?

I am going to keep this post here hanging..till somebody gets tired of seeing it or until I made my own experiment with Overdrive and I can post my comments of the results...until then...smiley-sleep013.gif

so you have 2 remaining . hit them hard and now with the overdrive . for 9 days . because your going to run straight ph water for 5 days to flush them out . now I am not trying to open up a major debate is flushing required with other members . this is my opinion what I would do . also there should be a feeding table on the bottle .http://www.advancednutrients.com/products/overdrive/
also it will not make any difference if you run nutrients or clean water for the last 5 days . not like they bulb up any this late in flower . its nice to get them to taste great.

No I have 3 remaining from flip, but if you think about it it can mean an extra week sometimes (sometimes 2-3 weeks)..even the seed seller say it 9 weeks strain so reality is different,,albeit this time they look like they are on schedule..
but yeah I put them on the Overdrive here tomorrow....its my first grow with Overdrive...usually just PK 13/14...
I am exited to see what happens...

honestly I bet you get the same . i play around with so many nutrients notice there honestly to me no much of a difference in my set up . it may be a bit more green or one nutrient is being pushed to hard but really i don't notice added weight just because of the nutrient being used . i have used many different ones . its fun playing around looking for the next best thing though i see people dropping thousands on nutrients and i drop 7 bucks and show them my end results they don't believe what they see .

So, they are 6 weeks + 2 days. it is 9 week strain...now I emptied the 2 tanks they are both 180 liters so I added the 360 ml of Overdrive it didn't raise the EC that much so I added basic Canna A+B 360 ml to get EC to 1.8 the other one didn't go even to 1.8 with that so I also added 75 ml PK 13/14 to get it to 1.8....the thing what I would like to know what is it meant to be added to the mix with Overdrive , just basic nutes or also PK 13/14....

there should be a feeding table on the back of the bottle . or go to advanced nutrient website for the info your looking for . your over complicating this . not making this hobby fun but into a lot of work . I do not want to tell you the incorrect information .

No I am just trying to understand that should I had better to go still 1 week more with the high PK 13/14 first,,,and then after that finish off with the Overdrive...the plants looked happy and proceeding...so hopefully I didn't cut their legs off in the pinnacle of size and weight creation epoch....
It gotta be perfect !

I'll hear you..instead of Big Bud I was using PK 13/14 which has always done the job...and I am only concerned that did I start with this Overdive now too early..I did the long schedule a bit by bit pumping up the PK from week 3 to week 6 , the week 6-7 should had been the peak of PK usage...because if used only one week 3 weeks before harvest, on a 9 week strain then that's the one when to do it....but
because Overdrive should start 3 weeks before harvest it was also time to do that one now, from week 6 to 7, and from 7 to 8 ,and the the 9th week do the flush etc.
So I went ahead and started now with the Overdrive and wondering should I had rather waited a week before switch to that ??


It would be so nice if this subject would gather some real interest of hard core growers who could
explain and analyse the Overdrive product to make a layman understand what it does comparing to PK 13/14 and is there something we can learn to be impeccable in our timing and combining with other range of blooming products..

Garbage watered down products and for plants under 6
Anything over 6 and you might as well give up and keep throwing your money away.
Cogo's original cannabis formula
Hands down a better product and only a 2 part formula for veg and flower. And a third less$$$
But I guess all the fancy bottle pics and advertising dollars are bound to attract anyone

No,.I am not...but enough with the hate mail...does anybody have some knowledge if just before flush I would do one last PK 13/14 hit on the plants..would it possible to cause even more resin production...I started using the Bud Factor X just very late in my grow and I quit using my PK 13/14 maybe a week too early because I wanted to use Overdrive...the size is amazing ..but I am interested if a late hit with Pk 13/14 if it could possible still produce even more resin at this late in flower....I was thinking to use it maybe 4 days before final flush....???
