Just looking for insight on nutes mid-flower

I'm an "over-informer so bear with me...

1000w HPS (20-24" from top colas)
Soil/coco
7 gallon pots (3 plants....1 got hermed)
Indoor/sealed
Ending Week 3 of flower
Healthy plants
Grow space temps (71.5-81.5 F)

My plants are doing great, very healthy. Excellent roots, bug/PM free. Just started to get frosty...

With that said, I am looking for NUTRIENT SUPPLEMENT information. Currently feeding FF Tiger Bloom 2-8-4, AN Sensi Bloom 2 part/AN Carboload, Phoyosynthesis O+ (stinky fungus for roots), Cal-Mag, minimal Superthrive and 2 tsp unsulphured OG mollasses once a week. I'm alternating pH (6.25-6.75) and feeding 950-1100ppm. Approx EC 1.6 for now.

My question: What can I add to increase Terps/fatten buds? Preferrably not another $150 jug of nutes I will use 100ml of. I want bud yield AND flavor. Would rather have a smaller quantity of 10/10 than a little extra 8/10

I thought about Bud Candy, or Voodoo. I can do some finishing nutes in a couple weeks (pre-flush). I checked my feed sched. I'm doing what they say.

Maybe I don't need anything?? I just want to max potential while keeping quality/smokability paramount. Thanks for reading!

I have pics but they are tinted yellow from grow light. I know that gets y'alls leaves twisted!

Check out Humboldt county's own Nutrients. They have some of the lowest residual salts, triple refined, and ph adjusted. I do NoTill now and use raw amendments now. All those bottle companies are scams are at least most.

HCO Gravity #10 would be great for you now. Found out that is basically kelp extract.

People here are mostly all about simplifying their nute schemes. Is this your first grow btw? I'm just asking because if your plants are healthy now, I wouldn't change what you're doing, since you already bought all that stuff. Just keep doing what you're doing. Adding some "special sauce" isn't going to do anything special for you. The only extra's I've been adding beyond a complete nutrient formula is an amino acid supplement, like fish hydrolysate or soy hydrolysate, and chitosan. Look up "systemic acquired resistance" and "induced systemic resistance"-possibly the best route to increasing the quality of a crop beyond basic nutrition and environment. The chitosan is more for fungal prevention, but if it stimulates my plants to produce more trichs/terpenes, hooray! You could try feeding them a dose of aspirin water if you want to do something extra. The dose is one 325 mg tablet crushed/mixed into a gallon of water-but I'd research it first so you know what you're getting into. Simple is better though! Light and genetics will matter the most if your plants are generally healthy already.

If your plants are doing great and are very healthy why do you need to add anything else? You're already using at least 6 products.

My feed sched calls for 8. Most of what I add is for plant health/maintenance. Only 2 are direct nutes, one is basically sugar. Plenty of feed scheds call for 10 or more.

Also my post indicates I recognize I might not need more.

My first indoor grow. I was a "lab rat" at a few bigger grows here in PNW. Did my own outdoor. Never screwed around with liquid nutes.

You’ve already got enough going on. Drop the superthrive, thats snake oil imo

be careful with the molasses also, that can turn in to more of a headache than help as it builds up in the medium

Molasses dropped. I can drop superthrive. I think the carboload covers it. Thank you.

It is a really, realy big deal to keep healthy plants as long as you can. Much better flavor and bigger harvests.

Think about how to keep them dialed in green and watch for changes. Adding anything will not make it much better if at all.

i totally agree, that healthy plants are key for whatever your max is in your grow in the last few weeks of mid turning into late flowering , i got a crop going an no burn my ec is 1.6 and ive been giving them 13-14, they seem fine, im watching them carfefully, i dont really belive in flushing it just adds to defincies and paleness, so ill be upping the carboload im in the begining of week 3 of flower i have 3 clones, i gottum from someone and i couldnt read the name of the strains, i think by smell one is a UK Cheese and one is a Northern Lights the other might be a pineapple express i name i got this glue hybrid mixed with GSC thin mint pheno from seed fem and shes a monster the indica side of the traits are huge i, shes in week 4 of flowerong and still no buds yet, so i may just transplant her into a 5 gallon pot, shes in a 3 gallon now the branches are as big as the trunk, ill try to post pics tommarrow
