I agree with Lowman. If u use liquid kool bloom, u use that through out your whole grow. If u wanna start using something else u just have to watch how strong it is and adjust. Usually i use liquid kool bloom for the first 2 weeks at 10ml, and then 5ml + powder kool bloom through out week 3-6.
I use to use
big bud, and if u use
bigbud, i honestly just use
big bud alone. with no kind of 13/14 pk liquid such as pk13/14 from canna or hammerhead or liquid kool bloom or such products of the like. however if u have the powder, it might work. But if u use maybe half the dose of liquid
big bud, u might get the desired effects. I remember reading about people who are using hammer head, and
big bud with great results. I like
big bud, it's really clean, and really simple. liquid or powder. i honestly like the powder better, but liquid is good too. i just dont like to buy water. i use to use 10ml : gal with liquid
big bud. got good results. but to me, the gh products are a bit cheaper.
big bud however is a really good product i know, i know, ITS AN AND IT'S OVERPRICED!!!! yes it is. BUT there are supplements in the
big bud which puts less stress on ur plants. We can achieve this with using kelp, vitamins, and beneficial bacteria as well. I've read somewhere that
bigbud powder also contains amino acids which help as well. but u know what? u can add in ur own amino acids. i do, at 1/16tspn : gal to my mix, and i cant tell the difference. b52? i use raw vitamin b. from raw salts. same shit to me. in my eyes. u can also use
superthrive or even buy western states thiamine from home depot. same shit too. u just use more from the home depot brand. but it's like 6 bux for a gallon.
I HAVE noticed the tastes are not alike tho. I feel like
big bud tastes a bit cleaner. while the liquid kool bloom is not as clean. I even flush once every week with Beneficial bacteria as well. and give it a nice full 1 week flush at end of cycle. The
big bud tasted very nice. it was more full. more body vs the liquid and dry kool bloom. I think it's because the kool bloom contains more metals than the
big bud. If i was growing for me and me alone. i'd use the
big bud. but if it's for production i'd just use the GH products.
I've been looking around as well. and noticed the hydroponic research thread. Looks very nice with what they are doing. but so very hesitant to try it out. i wanna save more money. but its like what they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it. very interesting thread. But that's another animal all together. Hope u've found my post helpful. sorry it's a bit long.
