When to add Bud Candy or other bloom boosters?

I am about 3 weeks into flower and I'm using Cyco A+B FLower for nutrients, but that is all. This is only my second grow and I would really like to try to get the best product possible. Last harvest was good, but I'm looking for amazing.

So when should I add some Bud Candy (or like product) to my nutrient solution? Also, are there any supplements to increase the density/size of the buds that I should be looking into?

Thanks in advance!

Not to hijack your thread, but some input on Bud Candy/Shooting Powder/KoolBloom would be appreciated. Those are the main 3 supplements I've read about, and would like to know which would be most beneficial to use. I'm sure this will help you with your question as well :)

And to one of your questions, these products are normally used the last 2-3 weeks of flowering.

Molasses is more of a thing you use to help with micronutes. The products we are talking about are usually high in PK to help budding greatly.

nah, hes right about the molasses. you use molasses in organic growing more then you would in a hydro system. and as far as the Bud Candy and type of products, the directions are usually on the container, or you can go to the website and look it up. i have heard really awesome things about Humboldt's line of additives: Snow Storm, Snow Storm Ultra, Purple Maxx, Gravity, Bushmaster. just depends exactly what you are looking for and how much money you want to spend. i use Botanicare's full line of nutes and additives. Liquid Karma rocks!! AN makes some good shit, but really spendy, and i heard you can fuck shit up if not used properly. some factors you might want to let us know about is what medium are you using. good luck!

I"m growing organically in soil, FoxFarm LW/OF with the soil trio. I planned on using Koolbloom as a bud booster, but would there be a better alternative?

YES!!!! anything is better then FoxFarm!! just my opinion. everyone uses the stuff, but nobody has a reason why. i use Botanicare. i will explain the difference to you like this. its like a cars engine. manual vs automatic. FF is automatic, and Botanicare is manual. you have a lot more control with the Botanicare. with the FF you don't! everyone uses different stuff, some people stick with one brand and others float around. have you heard about Humboldt's line of additives? i want to use those next grow. i hear insane shit with them. just ask around though. i heard you can use anything as long as its within your feeding schedule, but DO NOT take my word for it. everyone has different needs, you can use the blackberry molasses. i hear that is perfect for soil. ill ask my buddy what he says is good, may take a few days, but ill be back.

READ THE ADVANCED NUTRIENTS SITE:

God, why are people so lazy...

Here's what the Bud Candy instructions say RIGHT ON THE SITE: Use 2 mL per Liter during weeks 1 through 6 of your flowering phase.

And avoid molasses. reallly, it's not made fro growing weed. Its' made for cookies, as somebody once told me. LOL

Your whole post is invalid, molasses is great.
