thoughts on bloom boosers

Never used any sort of bloom booster or flower hardener before and wondering which one ppl use and do they actually add yield or denser buds.
I use bio-bizz grow bloom and top-max. Thats all iv ever used n my soil grows and even in my aero cloner.

What boosters could i add to my nute range to get more from my grows.
Also does superthrive actually work?..been looking at some solutions for faster root development in my cloner.

I will be purchasing after the results of this thread.

Ppl must use these things..what do you use and do you think it really works?

Come on ppl....someone help me decide.

IMO the so called 'bloom boosters' are for parting fools with their money. Healthy, happy plants grow big buds....

I have done two side by side grows of clones with superthrive ...never noticed any difference ...

Kool bloom is a great bloom booster...it is 2-45-28
A package that weighs 2.2 lbs (kilo) costs 29$ and a little goes a longggggg way ...half teaspoon per gallon in the last 2.5 weeks of flower will help fatten up buds.

I prefer the organic route. So I use advanced nutrients Nirvana as a flower booster weeks 3-6. I notice a difference in taste, and aroma, and size.

Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz. However I only feed bloom nutes usually one time and that is well into flowering. Grow nutes only before that. Nutes can't even begin to make up for a crappy grower. BB has micros included and is the reason I go with it.

imo the best bloom booster you could add is CO2

IF I ever used some retarded formula like advanced sensi bloom 1-1-2 designed not to work well unless I pay more for
there added bottles of P and K i guess I would have to also.

I can see that and have used it in the past myself. BB is 0-50-30 if I remember correctly. I used it one or two, like a 1/4 tsp. or so, feedings after the stretch and that was it. Pretty must just Grow Big to finish. Phosphorous bonds pretty well with peat and coco based mixes. Its easier for the plant to get at it than for use too flush it out. So a little can go a long ways and last awhile in the medium. Later in flower if the plant is showing signs of P or K deficiency then maybe give them another little dose. P and K are both pretty available to the roots once the drench is in, unlike some forms of nitrogen. Basic plant nutrition is the key to a successful and bountiful grow...

Anyone notice the title says bloom BOOSERS??????????????????



anyway, i use roots HPK bat guano occasionally, it is a 0-5-4 bat guano

I do feed tiger bloom nutes through flower but at quarter strength with 1/4 strength grow big and qarter strength cal mag every other week which is probably every third or 4th watering.... it seems to work for me.... never tried beastie blooms or karma or any of that other stuff. to me it always seemed like an unbalanced nute like that just spells trouble... If i were to use it, the way hot rod uses it sounds like a winner

BB comes with a double-ended spoon. "1/4 teaspoon" and "Too damned much". I add 1/4 teaspoon 1 time for sure. I may add a second 1/4 teaspoon a week or so after the first. Have never considered adding more. Far too concentrated.

Ive been getting pretty decent yields for years without them but recently been thinking off adding if anyones done any side by side tests.

YES CHUCK I MISPELT BOOSTERS IN THE TITLE. IM ON THE APP AND WRITING ON PHONE IS SHIT SOMETIMES...SO FUCKING WHAT!!!

sorry bout that.
Maybe time to conduct my own experiment on this.

You are on the right track. With nutes less is best. The yield may be smaller than properly applied nutes might yield but your smoke ain't burned!!!!!!! I started using the BB last year. I have never added more than 1/2 teaspoon in 2 doses (usually a single 1/4 teaspoon add during mid-flower) and my plants aren't in the "Help my babies" section.

super bud blaster works pretty well but its just a powdered PK with a few other vits it comes from natural sources so can be used late into flowering

Extra pk in the 1st 2 weeks of flowering will cause more bud sites to be produces and correct pk levels during flowering will mean more yield and better bud`s but you don`t to get an exact item to do it any pk used correctly will do the job some sugar in the form or molasses will not hurt either just don`t over do it.

What do ppl think about Humboldt County's Own Gravity, does anyone have any experence with it. I just picked up a few bottles in hopes to get denser buds.
I know it is off the maket due to licencing issues but it shold be avalible again for us with in the year from what humboldt says, just curious to see if i wasted my $$
