If you have an endless supply of $$$$$ U don't like or want , go for it
Its nothing but way over priced Epsom salts
Keep ya money in ya pocket, you can buy the same from any hardware store for a quarter of the $$$

I was given a half jug of it for free today , and was just curious if it worked well or if I should just stick with my normal routine .

please stay with your normal routine , if you have got results before, why change
there is countless bottles of nutes directed at cannabis , BUT a pretty pic on the front of the bottle , doesn't make it any better it is just over priced salts , & a myth that goes with it for the gulable

Ha I couldn’t agree more . I just always wondered how people could justify those price tags especially in today’s market .

IT IS A CON...……….just look at the N.P.K & roll with that , youll find exactly the same stuff in any hardware @ a qater the price , U cant change a NPK, & of coarse when you go to flower you change accordingally

I honestly haven’t looked at it much . There was a shed full of general hydro nutrients and the big bud caught my eye . I was planning on going through it tomorrow and doing little research . I try to stick with raw materials while growing so I can build the soil up with no salt . I’ve also come to really love the nectar for the gods line due to the no salt . Essentially over time id like to think that I wouldn’t need to feed too much once the soil becomes alive .

Big Bud is for use in weeks 2-4 of flower only.

Check out megacrop if you want inexpensive and effective or jacks

I’m trying to run my outdoor for as cheap as I can this year rather than spending 700 a week on teas ect . I just got some sea blast from earth juice along with primal harvest from earth juice . I was going to use the sea blast to transition than top feed the primal . To finish it off was going to just use some banna mana and Molasses. I figured that would be a pretty cheap route that would work . With the market the way it is I’m trying to make my margins the best I can . What do you guys think about that regime ? Should I use more potassium?

I run plain Jungle Juice and supplement cal mag. $23 @ gallon in Alaska. It works. Jack's is probably the biggest bargain around. Mineral salts are mineral salts. Further any Lowe's anymore has more than enough fertilizers for vegetables and flowers that work just fine. It's the singer and not the song.

That’s the plus you can get 21 lbs of megacrop for 55 bucks hell I’ve been watering my garden outside with the stuff too and still have plenty. A little goes a long way.

Jobe's Organic has a fertilizer for azaleas and rhododendrons. Anything that deeds and blooms azaleas will work in flower for cannabis. The analysis is right on the bag.

If you want to use organic for flowering Id get some
Peruvian Seabird Guano. 14-12-2... 0 11 0
Kelp/Azomite.
Both the PSG Veg, and flowering formulas, and use it at a 2:1 ratio
2 parts Flowering x 1 part Veg. Add in some Kelp, and water with Magnesium every time.
Azaleas/Rhododenron are acid loving. I wouldnt use acid loving plant fert.

Yah I keep azomite on hand always add a bit when I’m making new batches of super soil or my reused soil. I will Use megacrop unless their quality deteriorates which I hope it doesn’t lol. As for the op I never use any boosters. If you grow it right the yield will be great.

The most cost effective way to grow outdoors is by using dry nutes mixed into your soil for a water and go. Costs me 20 per 400gallon pot. After that you can make your own teas to feed the soil for cheap as hell for a bit of a flowering boost. Cost me $30 for enough nutes to last me the whole season in teas.
All together it cost around 80$ per plant including soil and cost of box for each of these plants
