Is there a really true Bud Enhancer or is it just Genetics ?

I have heard that flushing a myth in soil and/or organic grows, but is necessary for hydro or chemical fertilizers. Something about crystallizing minerals on the roots? I'm curious if there's any truth to that or just an old growers tale?

Fake news. In the Hydro Gardens feed chart for a 8 weeks strain, there is no flushing. The only thing done is reduce the amount of fertilizer the last 2 weeks, and nothing is ever completely eliminated.

Added CO2, or great airflow is something else that will increase bud size. Also temperature control... MPK will optimize bud size if used correctly, but it wont make it any bigger than is genetically dictated. All one can do is optimize every aspect of the grow to enhance bud size.
 
I’m a newbie but imho there are bud enchanters. Why ? Because even if you made a great soil or use best nutrients your bud enchanter is pushing your plant to limit of burning and that’s is it. It can be done by various “boosters” or good dose of PK and micro elements. So imho if you are newbie like me, just rely on feeding chart of some nutrient company with boosters. If you get some experience watch your plant and learn what he want by pushing slowly the bar up. There is no magic yet. But I strongly believe that soon some company will make some plant hormon based booster that will work without messing with NPK and micro and will work like steroids for human

If you like pumping your plants full of growth hormones to smoke sure. I wouldn't smoke those buds though.

Wondering , after seeing all the advertising of Bud bulking / hardeners , is there one that really works ?
Or is it about the soil , lights , genetics , environment ?

Flushing in any medium is a myth that accomplishes nothing. When you starve a plant, it sends all available nutrients to the buds as a survival mechanism. Why do you think all flushed plants have nice, GREEN buds?

Most people don't use their nutrients right ( WAY over feed ) so who's going to use this stuff right? Your average grower believes more is good and too much is just enough. The growth hormones used in these products are illegal yet they still get away with it because there is noone enforcing the laws. Don't put this shit in your plants!

if used right bud boosters are great and yes they do work

Everyone knows the saying you can’t turn a hoe into a housewife! Same thing with weed!! You can’t get award winning bud without genetics no matter how hard you try!
