I am glad you posted the question. I am a trial and error guy. For flowering, this is what has improved my harvest. Fox Farm Tiger Bloom helps a lot. I don't doubt that other brands work well also.
I keep a colony of earthworms in my grow area. They absorb odor and I mix their castings into the water. That alone is a very good nutrient. Every now and then I add a drop of thrive and poor a little black strap molasses in when watering.
Of all of the things I have tried lots of light helps more than anything else. This year I switched to full spectrum led lights from China. (cheap) I am putting about 3000 watts on no more than four plants. Of all the things I have tried, this makes the most difference. With more lights and the full spectrum, my yields have almost doubled.
Also, I use cloth bags instead of pots. That makes it possible to use plenty of water in flowering without the risk of overdoing it.
So, what is lacking? The most important thing may be the seeds being used. Right now I am looking for some really good seeds. The ones I use or o.k. but I know there are better genetics. In my opinion, all of the seed banks are bad. Regardless of what you order, there is no telling what they will actually send you.
