Will they start drinking more after they stop flowering?

no they are just running the course, this is all a good sign as your plants are nearing the end of their lives, how are you sure its a 12 week strain is that the breeder time or just a guesstimate? do you have any photos

It may become highly debated but I usually only feed pk boosters in the first 4 -5 weeks, not sure if it helps after that.

Most people suggest to use it 3 weeks before harvesting, even the coco guide says the same. I’ll give it a try this way if i don’t see any change in bud growth i’ll try using it earlier on the next grow.

yea i use also use 1-34-32 so alittle goes along way, I only use it a handful of times as it's easy to go over board and start locking things out

Thats even stronger right? I’ve heard people use it also at the very last week before harvesting too. Do you mix it with other nutes?

I honestly just use my pk booster to off set the N in the base feed, have yet to notice a difference, starting to think it's all genetics...

Dinnit listen to the sales rep of feeding charts they say use x amount so ya end up using more then buying more . It's all a con .
Don't think more feed bigger plants .
Keep ya ec 1.2-1.4 max in full flower unless ya plant or plants are asking for it .
Keep ya ph to 6.2 from week 3 flower ya carnt go wrong
