At the moment I’m using Cal Mag GHE flora bloom, micro and gro, in about 2 weeks I’m thinking about cutting out the GRO and replacing it with big bud (the plants will be 3 weeks when I do this) the plants I have at the minute are 1 critical orange punch auto, 1 banana blaze auto and 2 auto blueberry mango. The orange punch and the banana blaze are in coco and the 2 blueberry mangos are in 50% top soil 50% coco. Always watering them between PH 6 - 6.5

How about just feeding a balanced nutrient from start to finish? That's all you need to do. Dumping a bunch of stuff on your plants just leads to those pictures of plants with crispy fried leaves that so many think look great these days. Base nutrients fed in proper amounts will grow plants as big and healthy as dumping a bunch of unnecessary boosters and additives on your plants. There is no replacement in a bottle for keeping your plants healthy from start to finish. Too many people use too much stuff. It leads to stunted plants, crispy fried leaves, and a reduced harvest from a grow that has the grower chasing problems.

Water soluble potassium sulfate. $10 for a pound $15 for 5 pounds. Will last you forever and is what Big Bud is made from. 1/4 tsp per gallon weeks 4 - 6 of flower with you're normal regime. Keep an eye on ppm's when you start adding other stuff. The nutrient company feed charts will have you frying your plants. You are better off cutting back than using full strength.


I saw this and it looks interesting.

Potassium magnesium sulfate. Only $6.60 a pound.


"Source of Sulfur, Potassium & Magnesium. KMS is a natural source of readily available 22% K,11% Mg, and 22% S. One gram in one gallon of water yields 48 ppm Potassium, 29ppm Magnesium, and 58ppm Sulfur."

I'm ordering some right now. I don't remember seeing it before.
