I just started week 5 last thursday. Just ran out of peakboost, but still have a good amount of bloom and finale. I really want to save money and replace peakboost with a cheaper phosphorus booster alternative for week 5 and 6. Or maybe even skipping the phosphorus all together. I run a pretty large operation and need to save costs until our harvest hits. Im considering picking up some PK 13/14 but I worry that it might conflict with bloom/finaleboost. What do you guys think? Is finding a phosphorus really needed when you already have tons of potassium? and if I do decide to use pk 13/14, i should assume to lower the dose of bloom/finale correct?

similiar question dt

Are you running a bloom booster besides the one aptus is providing in their schedule?

I wouldn't run pk 13/14 with aptus. It'll end up affecting the final product in a negative way IMO. The flavor and resin production on Aptus are both really good and I usually think pk13/14 or like Bloombastic do a much poorer job in those departments. I'd use Higrocorp's Organa-Guano 0-4-0 before I'd use most others. It's one of the few that'll only give you the phosphorous because IME the FinaleBoost has you covered real well on the K.

The peak & Finale boost are pretty cheap but but if you want a cheaper option get Break out powder

No point now in trying to skimp & save

I would try and stick with Aptus before you consider bringing in other boosters

I been using Canna boost on one table along with Aptus but still need a few more weeks for the conclusion.

I got two of the Epapillion lights running on a table too and the plants are triple the size of the plants under a block buster I had to take out the tables on the Epapillion test because they grew much faster than I expected

Im just about to start working with Caps tea recipe

Just ran back through your rooms and recently checked out www.greners.com's reflector test stating the blockbusters offer a top notch output. Did you end up switching to A-wings or are you still running the non-vented blockbusters?

I switched to adjust a wings again but from what I'm seeing on the e papillions so far I will be making a big switch but I will wait till the harvest before I start preaching

How do you have them wired, is the power cords all running to a light timer, If you get time snap some pics of your wiring setup, right now I have all Lumateks hooked to a light timer that I had custom made, will run 16K, hot start delay, hot temp kill,ect

Just read about them - Is the biggest thing hindering your decision the money saved on power consumption? I feel like allot of light is wasted with the papillion.

I just researched this company a little and it's way to expensive! A mofo could go bankrupted buying this product. I want to try their flag ship product Fasilitor it has promise, but other than that I don't see the other product being worth their weight in gold. Any pictures floating around so I can see what's what:cigar:

I change my rez nutes for any brand I use once a week. Im trying to figure out what is so special about these products that justify the cost. Example, I want to try fasilitor its $150 on ebay for 250ml. How much more of a difference will I see than if I use Grotek silicate which works really well. If someone will explain that to me and it makes sense then I will buy the product. I buy grotek for $26 per gallon and it's the best silicate I am currently aware of. Most silicates has very little results, but grotek results are awesome with thick stems. So please preach to me so I too can drink the jim jones juice:cigar:

I have them wired into a titan 24x by Sunlight supply. I have had really good results with these
