hey everyone, hope everybody doing well on this beautiful forum.

I have a question ,

Im growing 13 plants in 1 gallon pots going to switch to flowering in about one week (its been 3 weeks of veg)

Im using lucas formula with the GH bloom , micro and calimagic as a nutrient base.

I was looking for other additives/boosters to add to that. Heard great things about these : big bud , hulk , bud candy , beastie bloomz & b52.

What additives do you guys recommend using wether in veg or flower.

Thanks!!!!!

Recharge with worm tea only thing needed other than a simple one part nutrient

ALL of that stuff is basically a waste of your money.... Why is most of what you list from AN?
Beastie blooms? What crap...your over paying for something called mono potassium phosphate.....The thing is, use of MPK is or can be, a fast track to fried plants!

Way stupidly high P counts P is more of a ripening agent to cannabis plants. More you use the faster it will finish BUT, that fast finish will give you immature buds with lower terp and THC counts...Do you want that?

First off your doing the Lucas formula....WHY? The ONLY thing the Lucas formula does for you,,,is to allow you to run cheaper, by not having to buy or use a "grow" product..
I feel it can be a better result to use a higher N formulation in veg and the first 2 weeks of the bloom period...

Skip the hype.
Grow by the stages of growth.
Adjust properly to each stage.
Run at least 2 weeks longer then any bean maker says.

Finish closer to potential then this or that short cut or supplement says it will do!

All hype. Honestly I don’t need the recharge even making worm tea. I simply add it to increase the bacteria count faster and more diversity.

I've been really enjoying a cheap but high quality 20-20-20 one part. Used it all through veg and flower no issues. I'm in week 9 and just for fun I used a high PK finisher for the last watering. Plan to go 10 weeks. When they dry I'll give them one more of pure water then chop a few days after.

Dr Who...you are the only person I've ever seen say P causes premature budding. I heard you say this before and researched it a bit. All I could find was info that "lack of P" will delay flowering. So by adding in enough P, you're not causing premature finishing...rather you are preventing delayed finishing.

I would really like some sort of reference for this theory that you have.

Don't get me wrong...I also believe P is often delivered in excess and I've stopped using finishing products because of that. Just trying to add to my knowledge on P.

When I use Lucas or Floranove bloom I never get any yellow leaves. I don't get all the worry about not using the grow. The micro has N in it. I tried Bud Candy this time on half of my plants. I can't see or smell any difference yet. Same with the Koolbloom, used it on half and can't notice any difference yet, maybe a few runny foxtails that I am keeping an eye on. I have been interested it Terpinator but that will probably lead to the same results; no difference.

You said in the other post you made that it was from the LED's. But really, I get plants just as frosty with my HPS and nothing but base nutes.

You don't need any of that crap. It's nothing but the same chemical salts already present in virtually every nutrient line out there. They take a few pennies worth, water it down, put it in a fancy bottle with a fancy label, give it a cool name, market the shit out of it and sit back and collect the money.

Anything with 'Big" or "Candy" in the name is more marketing than product. Nutrient companies like AN are literally RAPING uneducated cannabis growers.

I've identified three segments of the cannabis growing ecosystem that use slick marketing over facts to sell their products

LED light manufacturers
Nutrient companies
Pollen Chuckers masquerading as breeders.
