Bud Boosters - Final Phase Nutes - Week 6ish

Okay... I hear that a good bud booster applied in the last week of nutes, helps fill in the gaps left by the lack of seeds. (whatever... fills them out nice and plump)
My problem is.... which damn solution to buy! Even within one companies selection, there is too much to choose from! (and they don't seem to like writing their N-P-K in an easy to read place)

Example... I'm interested in Advanced Nutrients because... well... advertising and all... urbangrower.com ... I'm sold baby! now... which one! (click below and see what I mean)

They are only in week 3 now... so I have some time but not much.

it's usually not a good idea to feed the plant nutes for the last 1.5-2 weeks.
can cause bud to taste wrong and hard to light.

Yes... I intend to bud boost with something... just don't know what yet.. and leave the last two whole weeks for water only.

I can NOT speak from experience as my first crop is only one week into 12/12 and just starting to show sex BUT I hear that FoxFarm is highly reccomended. I just began Tiger Bloom and the other one (its out in the shed right now). We'll see! I also heard that flushing isnt QUITE as important with ORGANIC nutes from another thread. Will be following this thread closely to see what the more experienced growers say...

I use fox farms, tiger bloom, it's done well for me so far.

Sweet is a real good one, but i just buy raw sugar (brown) and mix it with boiling water then let it cool, then water the plants. and you don't have to wait til the last 3weeks, use that stuff now so you get really big buds.

Mix:
10parts water
1 sugar

What?! are you actually suggesting watering your plants with sugar water? Intriguing...

I learned it though High Times/ Grandma. Sugar is a carb, your plant make sugars with Photosy.. so by putting i little sugar in your water it kinda acts like a grow buster, but b careful to much of a good thing can kill.

sugar increases microbe levels ,aerobic bacteria but be careful like token said cause anerobic bacteria like sugar also..late ar1

pumped 4 pounds of TURBANADO (unrefined cane sugar) thru my outdoor plants last summer. pumped a pound thru my indoor so far (week 6). from start to finish. in soil.

KoolBloom by general hydroponics works well. just be careful and start with 1/4 strength

russ it is funny our grows are very simmilar from lights to nutes lol

^^^ I got some Advanced Nutrients Overdrive... I'm applying it at 90~100% for 3 out of 4 plants. I'll let you know when its done.

I may be wrong but when they talk about using sugars in hightimes, arent they using molasses as a vehicle?

Why do you have to boil itttt does it change the compound???

the sugar saturates into the water. a chemical change occurs unlike stirring it in where the sugar is just suspended in the water.

I like to use Blossom Booster throughout flowering...I just adjust strength of dilution based upon how well the plant(s) synthesize their food.
My preferred Blossom Booster is Jack's Classic.

I use pure water only for last week to 10 day,apx.
Never heard of the sugar thing!

I Have Been Using Advanced Nutes Big Bud And Then Overdrive And Then Plain Ro Water For The Last 2 Weeks! In My Opinion The Big Bud And Overdrive Are Way Better Than The Fox Farm Products That I Have Used When I First Started Growing! Stick With The Advanced Nutes Man!!!!
