Like Homebrewer says, 0-50-34 is bordering madness and should be treated as such.
Do you use Bloom / PK boosters?

It's just repackaged monopotassium phosphate.

Thats true most of the ingredients in these bud boosters are available for 15$ for 50lbs at a farm supply. Pot growers love to pay extra for "specialty" fertilizers.

Actually monopotassium phosphate is in most nutrients. There is nothing wrong with it as an ingredient in a nutrient blend. But once it's repackaged and given some cool name and called a bloom booster it is nothing but a money grab by nutrient companies. Plus it's not needed since any decent nutrient line already has adequate amounts. If you need to add a bloom booster then the base nutrients being used are not providing everything a plant needs. This is mostly by design as it's a way to sell another product and increase profits. I use a three part water soluble nutrient. Part C which is used in flower is just monopotassium phosphate. I've been using this nutrient for well over a decade in soil, hydro, and coco. Everything is there and no need for any additional repackaged MKP with a fancy label called a bloom booster.
I've been using Canna coco a&b, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, and calmag+ for this grow. I'm new tho.
I'm about to flip the lights this weekend, any info on bloom cycle nutrients? Dont need to explode my head with a bunch of info I'll probably just ignore anyways. I just need numbers and a couple suggestions.
Also, is using blackstrap molasses really a benefit for carb loading plants?
I have Flower Fuel 1-34-32, and Humboldt Sticky & Sweet arriving this week. That flower fuel seems really potent and makes me a bit nervous. I was thinking of using half dose for a feeding to see how it does and if good after a few days, then maybe up it some. Full strength tho could go all bad I think. I really need this crop to be successful tho. 6 Grandaddy purples are taking in 1.25 gallons per feeding every 3 days under my 630 cmh light in 5x5 tent

I've had really good results with Canna products I've been using. Coco A&B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym. Cannaboost was always too expensive in my opinion. I trust Canna but at some point you gotta wonder how much is too much investment, right? I also use CalMag+, but have dialed it back except when really needed. Messes up my ppms to easily. I average 1.95 EC and 960ppm TDS in 6.1 PH tap water in Alaska.
I'm in bloom now, using Humbolts sweet and sticky, and flower fuel. The flower fuel is used at a reduced rate (better under than over anytime). Flower Fuel is 1-34-32. It's less than 20$ for 250g. Was cheap and will cover any needs my plants have period. I use three of the small scoop (roughly 3/4 of a teeaspoon) with every 6 gallons. My 6 plants to a gallon a day each. No nutrient burn yet. I'm in week 2 of bloom cycle finishing stretch.
My nutrient profile is affordable and does wonders with my GDP clones. I got stalks thicker than my thumb with only 4 weeks of veg. 6 plants in 5x5 tent, under 630w cmh

This man is correct. You don't need all those fancy bottle to get good meds. Spend your hard earn money on quality genetics and you'll be fine.Actually monopotassium phosphate is in most nutrients.

Any booster that is 0-50-30 +/- is 99% Monopotassium Phosphate. I mix it up 920gr of MKP and 80g MAP in my shop and sell it for what it cost me wholesale or less for the brand names.
You also only have to feed it once a week from say week 3-6/7 and not every single time you water.

I use the MOAB in combination with the HG bud xl. I start with half strength MOAB and after week 3 of flower I go to full strength. There are a few additives that I have used that I don't see differences with, but the MOAB and Top shooter products definitely make a positive difference in my grows.
