Technaflora & Advanced

I have some questions mixing BC Bloom and BC Boost with Advances Big Bud, and b-52, over drive.

i was originally thinking of using Bloom and Boost & 52 first week second week to 4th week add big bud, bloom, and boost and bud candy then the 5th to 6th add 52, and over drive.


would this work fine?

can anyone advise me?

Yes, it would work. Salts are salts, it's just that some salts are more expensive and diluted than others and have some hippy shit on it.

Yeah but I was told big bud gives better results them the blossom by technaflora

KDP is KDP is KDP

Mono potassium phosphate (KH2PO4) has an NPK of 0-52-34

It doesn't matter what you call it or what kind of tigers you put on the bottle, KDP is KDP.

Big bud is 0-15-35 and says it's derived from mono potassium phosphate and potassium sulfate

Blossom is 2-11-11, probably mono potassium phosphate buffered with potassium hydroxide or potassium sulfate also, can't find the ingredients.

Isn't big bud suppose to be used by its self though? But bloom & boost equals the same results or am I wrong?

If I'm not mistake, BC Boost contains the calcium nitrate and the iron while bc bloom has potassium nitrate, mono potassium phosphate, and magnessium somethingate (i forget).

What I'm saying is it really doesn't matter which brand it is as long as you have the right amounts of NPK, Ca, Mg, S, and Fe.

Big bud you'd use when you want to raise P and K, but K more than P.

Blossom when you want to add an equal P and K ratio

and KDP when you want 0-52-34, more P than K

Thanks, a bit advanced for me to truly understand all of what your saying. But for the most part, it makes sense.

you said blossom was 2-11-11 and big bud was 0-15-35 wouldn't that mean I'd get to much P or K since the numbers are much higher then blossom by technaflora

Ok, I can definitely help you, but I need some more information. First of all, your description of your proposed feeding schedule was a little difficult for me to understand. (Assuming we're discussing your flowering cycle) will you please write it out week by week for me? Also, it would help to know what kind of system you are in (or soil/soilless hand-watering?). The only thing I can tell you so far for sure is that Boost and Bloom have to be used together to work, and that the supplements you want to use would probably work together, but you might be headed towards overkill. I ran a hydro shop for a couple years, so I have usually have a pretty good idea about these things. I just need some more info. Hope I can help!

I'm running hydro, clay as medium, top feed ebb and flow as the set up.

i intend to feed A & B of bloom and boost. I was going to buy blossom and mix that along with some candy bud then the last 2 weeks run over drive for the last 2 weeks..

8 week grow

Technaflora's Awesome Blossoms? That sounds like a pretty good schedule to me. Just remember to always add Boost to your solution first and keep your pH, EC and ppm in check. Obviously, you will need to back off on some supplements to "make room" when you add another one so you don't spike your EC/ppm and burn your plants.
