I have 3 plants that went for 2 months veg while I was taking clones and popping beans to fill my space, so I schwazzed one and heavy defoliation on the other two but not quite enough to be a schwazz. They are all the same strain so I left them at different stages of defoliation all the way to the schwazzed one, I will take some pics tomorrow, as I just flipped today and my lights are off
i think there is something to running a booster only during flower. ive done the multi bottle systems and never got where i wanted to be. my goal this round is to do as little as absolutely possible while having as close to 100% healthy leaves as possible. i ran a 1-1-1 for veg and they did outstanding (thats all ill ever do now), but i can tell its not enough punch for flower based on plants reaction since flip and it seemed to contribute to stretch. i recently added half strength flower fuel 1-34-32 and will just give water until the following week. happy frog soil. i'll report back in a couple weeks

It was ok for the outdoor plants in 2019, but not ok for indoor plants earlier this year. I wouldnt read too much into the difference though, my ec meter wasnt accurate during my grow earlier this year. Pretty sure I fried my girls with the booster because of it.How was it?
+1 on that.Eleanors VF-11
In my 40+ years experience, I find identical clones ripened faster because of different nutes have the exact same potentcy as those that ripened later due to higher N. The only difference in my clones are size and taste. The faster finishing low N buds are smaller but taste better. Overall yield is increased with extra N, while relative yield is unchanged. The faster flowers are also less suseptible to mold, pests and disease.Pk boosting causes premature yellowing, shortens flowering and potentially lessens yield.
grow ratio all the way through tapered off properly during ripening still giving me the best results for yield and potency. But plants do tend to go a couple weeks longer than most growers like.
Depends on what you think a PK booster is. To most its extra P and K. I consider VF-11 a fantastic booster - my buds love it.

Opinions and taste vary. I guess the only way to prove it either way is to do a side by side and have independent labs analyze each. When I did my side by sides there were no labs.in my tests flowers were noticeably more potent and complex in smell and effects the longer they go as long as they are healthy enough to keep producing.
Its not just more nitrogen. Its the proper ratio for the plant.
And you can see the layers of new trichomes growing the last weeks.
i feed real light so sometimes i even increase nute strength to keep them going more weeks if i think they have more to give. The last plants i harvested went 12 and 13 weeks and much of the yield and resin came after week 10.
Thats my experience anyway.
With all due respect, you shouldn't bash products that you haven't even tried. VF-11 is far from snake oil. It isn't even marketed for cannabis. But it works great. You have no idea how good it is and you never will. So why bash? Merry XMASI never heard of the vf-11 stuff but the snake oil sales is quite high with this one. Apparently made for the rose growers. Who buy into hype as much as weed growers. Lol
heres a blog that includes the washington state analysis of ingredients. A very eye opening resource. Dont look up your favorite microbe product. You will find out the truth. ;-)
Here’s the plant food everyone is talking about!
Apparently I don’t talk to the right people; I’d never heard of this product until newbie gardener and longtime skeptic John emailed me about Eleanor’s VF-11 plant food. Upon visi…gardenprofessors.com
