Do you use Dr hornsby's Big bud?

If you use this product please give me a bit of info on it,
I know some who swear by it and they are gettin 3 per so im all ears...

If you dont use it but know what it is made of and use that for same effect please let me know what you use,Thanks N Praise Hbr

.2 grams per liter from week 2 till week 7

Thanks dazed, what results have you noticed from using this product?

Advanced nutrients is an all around awesome line-up. Big bud will not let you down.

I use the whole AN 2 part product line. I've seen great results. The combination of bloom enhancing nutes I wouldn't go without are Bud Blood the first week, Big Bud the second week up until peak ppm, then overdrive the two weeks prior to flushing. These three nutes work in combination throughout the plant's lifecyle, but should never be used in the same feeding otherwise you will burn your plants. Blood starts the budding process creating more bud sites. Bug Bud speeds up the flowering process and is stored in the plant to be used when you begin decreasing nutes. Overdrive triggers the plant to begin using all stored nutes when ppm is decreased.

My AN staples are in order of importance: 1. Voodoo juice 2. Big bud 3. Overdrive
4. carboload 5. sensizym 6. B52
I use em all and I promise that you wont be disappointed in em. They are worth the extra cash if your doing a bigger grow. Good luck brother

Thanks for the feedback!
Nathan thanks for the breakdown!-How much will these 6 you mentioned run me?

I have heard alot of my friends swear by this stuff-im interested pretty broke but interested!

I'm using BigBud on my grow right now, I can't tell you the difference because I always use it lol.. but just by using the Sensi A+B grow and bloom, and the bigbug and getting great results

That's the magic formula right there. I grew two clones side by side once awhile back. One with the flowering boosters, one without. They looked like two completely different plants by the time harvest rolled around.

sweet so in week 7 i can only use the overdrive ya? What about big bud when would i use that?

What I do is try, best I can, to plan it so that I'm running Overdrive the last two weeks of feeding, right before the final flush. I switch Big Bud out and Overdrive in.

i saw it at the store and wasnt sure if i should get it -what does it do for your plants?
i got moab by mad farmer do they do similiar things? thanks

If you are using any AN products you should check out this chart. Advanced Nutrients - Nutrient Calculator Big bud is weeks 2-4 of flower. I have had several previous grows and just started using bud blood and big bud. It has sped up the flowering process and my buds are maturing faster but still getting huge and frosty. I am very happy with it so far.

nice=will check em out soon for sure

I'm not 100% sure on MOAB, except that it's a bloom booster of some kind.

It's a play on the weapon by the same name: the "Mother Of All Bombs" except that in this case they replace "Bombs" with "Blooms". The MOAB is an ungodly weapon, the most powerful conventional bomb in the USA's arsenal.

In fact, military strategists caution against using this bomb against a nuclear-capable foe because the explosion is so powerful it can be mistaken for a tactical nuke. It's so massive no bomber can carry it - it has to be dropped out the back of a cargo plane.

Fun trivia... I'm full of it.

Anyway, the bloom booster MOAB I don't know much about.

The way I understand the Bud Blood, Big Bud, and Overdrive trio is this:

Bud Blood - stimulates the beginning flowering response. I see earlier flowers and it seems like I get more bud sites with this.

Big Bud - Just like the name implies, this packs on size and weight. This is the single best thing in Advanced Nutrients' arsenal IMHO.

Overdrive - I'm not 100% sure what this stuff is supposed to do, but in my experience it really puts the finishing touches on the bud sites. It seems to tell the plant "okay, time to finish things up". Actually slows the final maturation slightly, letting me get a little more weight on. It's like the opposite of Bud Blood. I have really been able to pinpoint my ripening to exactly where I want it to be much easier with this.

Just my 2 cents.

great info hooked!
I will try the an line next round for sure-but the moab did well!

I recently switched over from BC line, hygrozyme, hydroguard, sweet, koolbloom, purple maxx, and gravity over to Advanced forumla.

I'm now using Sensi Grow A+B, Bud Blood, Big Bud, Carbo Load, Overdrive, Sweet Leaf, Voodoo Juice, with a few non AN products as well, Sonic Bloom and Hygrozyme.

I'm only into the first day of flower after 1.5 weeks of veg and the plants are looking like the best crop so far.

I'm curious if any of you have any experience with adding Atami's Bloombastic with your flower forumlas? I'm going to buy it tomorrow to throw into the mix as it's supposed to have some really great results as per my hydro store owner.

Also, when using the Bud Blood are you supposed to flush after the first week to clean it out? Or can you just leave it in to run it's course until the third week to flush?

Currently i'm planning on flushing after the first 3 weeks, then after another 3 weeks as I was told that the voodoo juice takes 2-3 weeks for the enzymes to really start doing their thing.

Thanks!

I've put two different sets of plants through the bud blood and big bud regimen now. I never flushed in between and things were great.

Overdrive is a flower booster like Kool Bloom or Ionic Boost. Let's see if I remember correctly: Overdrive = 1-5-4, Kool Bloom = 0-10-10, Ionic Boost = 0-5-6. These boosters are usually started in week 4 or 5 of flower and used until final flush. They actually become one of your base nutes. So if you were using a two-part base, when you start using overdrive it becomes a 3-part base. This drops N levels and boosts P and K to grow fat buds. I've started using Ionic Boost in place of Overdrive. Cheaper and works better IMO.
