What pk booster is the best

Most PK boosters use the nutrient double salt monopotassium phosphate, known as MKP, 0-52-32.

So just look for the best price for this nutrient.

I use Kool Bloom Dry. IMHO too much Phosphorous. I've begun mixing it with potassium sulfate to even out the PK ratio. You have to be really careful with the PK boosters - they can fry a plant quick, but they do work. I'd suggest using a TDS/PPM/EC meter if you plan to add a PK booster to you feeding schedule. I'd also start with ~10-20% of the recommended dose.

Also 14g dissolved into 100ml of water will make a nutrient concentration of MKP that increase EC by 0.1 when using 1ml per 1litre.

If people read the labels on those shiny bottles they would realize that. But many don't bother reading the ingredients as they only read the name of the product and are convinced that Big Bad Bud Booster will give them huge increases in yields. They don't even realize they're paying $25 for 0.25¢ of actual ingredients.

This is the story of the water bottled nutes industry. The minute you learn even a little chemistry, you get pissed off at how much you've been ripped off!

If this is the case then stick with your base nutrients and learn to grow a healthy plant start to finish using minimal nutrients.

ive been growing for around a decade and still only use minimal amounts of nutrients.

base A/B
Epsom salts
Calmag
minimal MKP

That’s it
Ahhhh alright thank you

Is this about the right stage of flower to start a pk booster❓ Too early or too late❓

Did you read the thread? Using PK booster is not adviceable by many, especially with dirt in containers. I would focus on supplementing sulfur instead. Either Epsom salt or low dose fish emulsion, then you also get all the amino acids from the fish hydrolysate.

It will do more for potency and quality than any "PK booster". Sulfur that is. Cheers!
