Starting monster bloom too early?

I know the feed chart says to use it during the last 3 weeks, but if i ran it at week 4 to 8. Would it cause my plant to ripen faster, losing a week at the end? Just wondering if i should stick with running it starting week 5/6 or if 4 is okay.

0-50-30 is madness, unless you like P burn/lockout issues.
It's just repackaged monopotassium phosphate marked up significantly. It's already in most nutrient lines in their base nutrients. Used in excess it can have detrimental effects on the overall health of the plant and can actually reduce yield. As @budman111 already said, it can cause burn/lockout issues. There are tons of posts from people wondering why their plants are crapping out midway through flower after dosing them with bloom boosters because they think more is better.

It wont ripen it early unless you feed it way more than needed. All the MKP based products are 6grams per 20L of water and range from 150-200 extra PPM. You can feed it once a week from week 3-6/7 or 8 if you flower for 9-10
