Why would a sudden blast of PK cause that? I don't think it does, plants take what they need and leave the rest behind- why would they all of a sudden benefit from massive amounts of PK when they are almost completely finished, or in my case have had almost only PK from week 4 onwards?
Because as I mentioned in the H&G thread recently, the trick of selling a PK booster is to tell users to use it around the time plants enter that swelling up phase regardless so they perceive control. That's what cannabis nutrient manufacturers sell, the false perception of control, and you're totally falling for it.
And no I don't believe your theory on PGRs being in all boosters, seems like something you tell yourself to continue using them, being afraid you will have less bud, while clearly you actually already know better. You're almost there. Have the contents analyzed, should be cheaper than wasting money on PK boosters.
PK13/14 (and similar) is a scam. It adds nothing that isn't in your base nutes already, it only fucks up the ratio. There's is no point in a cannabis' plant cycle where it needs that much P and K, or more than you could provide with base nutes.
Only a "bought" hydro store employee and those brainwashed by those think Canna is the best. Reminds me of the other guy that works at a hydro store, mick or something, he wanted to pretend AN must sell better quality of the same salts... I can walk into a dutch growshop and get nearly the same recommendations PK_Boosted is "advertising". They all have contracts with nutrient manufacturers, they all get a bonus for converting growers to competitors. PK_Boosted being a classic example, throwing around brand names as if they mean something, while they just pay the highest incentives (stuff like for every 10 customers you sell the entire line too you get 1% additional discount, hence profit).
They are no longer able to be intellectually honest as they have been given an incentive for their deception. Money. Hydro store owners and nutrient manufacturers do not want to help growers grow the best quality and quantity, they want your money. And since plants, including cannabis, only needs basic elements (which is what defines a plant and their role on the planet...) they NEED to scam you. Else you'd be just buying the cheapest quality (clean) base nutes, or like churchhaze mix those yourself. Aquarium hobbyists have no problem mixing their own nutrients, because they aren't clouded by the idea of getting more "drugs".
Canna started the veg+bloom bottle (vega and flores) which made them quite popular amongst cannabis growers. It's when cannabis nutrient manufacturers and others figured out "Hey, those mj growers get high on their own supply and are suckers for anything that supposedly gives them more bud..." AN took that to a whole 'nother level (for example using tissue culture research that doesn't apply...)
@PK_Boosted: most of the people who replied to you here can actually agree with you on something: there is a lot of nonsense in forums. Much of that is coming indirectly from scammers like you. We love to debunk it, and with no financial gain, just to help prevent others from taking over bad advice like yours.
from advanced is awesome product as well as super thrive and thrive alive foliar spray
Superthrive is a scam... you're the one that's stuck in the last century, "The Myth of Vitamin Stimulants" has been debunked by scientists as well as hobbyists.
They are all similar it's everything you give your plants that make them flourish and promote high wielding thc and terpene content including yield mass and size.. 3 part gh doesn't stand a chance in any side by side grow I don't care what you're doing.. It needs other supplements and additives to become beneficial the bases are just that they are bases..
Lies to make people like you and your masters money. All a plant needs to thrive are elements pointed out to you in this thread. The 3 part gh offers contains everything a plant needs to create compact, frosty, large buds. Actually, as Lucas and the many growers using his socalled 'formula' show over and over, you only need 2 of the 3 parts, even less money for you...
"
Can I use additives with Lucas Formula?
You may. It is recommended that you do not introduce additives until your setup is dialed in. After you've ironed out any deficiencies and fully understand how your plant and strain likes to be fed, feel free to begin using additives (such as Floralicious) - not that the additives will help. For increased quality and yield, focus on good genetics, and ample light and temperature control, rather than trying to compensate for those with additives."
Cup judges not being bought off? Bullshit. There is a huge motive for a seedbank who's only in it for the money to have a cup winner. The kids buy into that crap as if there is ANY technical specification for the product. Ever see Peter Jenning's Pot of Gold years ago? Guy and his wife in the pot cafe was a friend of mine. Knew the Dutch cannabis biz very well. He told me the date and time where Arjan of Greenhouse Seeds bought off judges regarding one or more of his entries.
The only thing I like the cups for is that breeders do tend to submit their best stuff and they do tend to use their best growers to produce them. But "winning" a cup means little to nothing. Anyone at the HTCC in Amsterdam for example can buy a judge pass, which is basically the 5 day ticket instead of 1 day. It's a little over $300. You don't even really have to buy "off" judges, you can simply buy judge positions for your buddies.
