So far in my experience as a grower i have grown to notice the lack of faith in bloom boosting product. Finding that more people dont see a difference or dont see the logic behind it. But i must say taking some strains into account that this is a fatal mistake in the lack of potetial flower structure... Let me elaborate.
When using a bloom booster, you need to realize first what exactly is a bloom booster and what it is not. For example if we were to take some sweet leaf bloom STIMULANT and did a cross comparison growing a plant with only one of the two products, the other being Hammerhead PK 9-18, the Hammerhead plant would devastate the sweet leaf plant in terms of yeild, yes cmbining theese products can infact increase their effectivness by atleast 5 fold, the point here is what does the plant NEED. And not what the plant can USE and HOW it uses it. These little tidbits of information are not nesacary in the education of an up and coming grower. And are udder confusion.
Which brings me to the main point here. Marijuana plants enjoy an enviroment that they need to figure out what to do with all it has to work with, better than having just enough to work. So having said that, a bloom BOOSTER is what the plant needs simply because of the fact that you are giving it the available building blocks for heavier flowers. In this case, there are only a few things that are closly related in what they do and need to be figured out. Once you have this ratio, you are set, and no longer need to understand more or less, or what each peice does, learn what you NEED. With a bloom booster, you need namely Phosphorous and Potassium, you can also add more calcium and magnesium and iron, but these are less important in the structural formation of flowers in terms of overall size.
There is much speculation on what exactly is the proper ratio of P and K for a bloom booster through flowering and i have come to a conclusion that might just set you into a bit of cofusion. If you do your homework, commen bloom boosters contain a 1:1 ratio of P and K(i.e canna pk 13-14). Which has recently become under scrutiney from hydroponics nutrient manufactures for being an old form of boosting floral formation in large soil soybean and corn crops. And suggest the new ratio to be more 1:2. Like Advanced nutrients Hammerhead P/K 9-18, while they are correct that this ratio is more efficient in producing more structurally sound buds(solid bud formation thoughout a calyx cluster) They seem to lack a little bit of reasearch in the fluxuation of this ratio during the blooming phase. And when i say that i do not mean the dose, but the fact that if done properly, the use of a 1:1 ratio booster ALONG with a 1:2 booster will produce more substantial results than using one for the entirety of the flowering process. To explain ill will put it quite simple. The upping of potassium and lowering of phosphorous should be held off until mid to lat flowering(on an 8 week flowering strain, between weeks 4 and 5.) Why you ask? Because, i have found that phosphorous is no longer needed to potentiate flower structure at the rate it does in early to mid flowering(weeks 2-5) And that potassium needs to being increased more dramatically to induce the plumping and hardening of flowers.
This system can be ajusted for any strain. And this sytem will give you results. As a matter of fact using only of of the products at a steady rate from the second week of flower until flush will give you great results. I have posted this thread to ecplain to new comers what the big deal is about all these boosters. And i have done what i can here to help.
