My plants just started week 5 of flowering. I've been using big bud for about 2 weeks now and about to start using Overdrive. Are these 2 good to be using together until the final week of flushing? I've been adding 1/4 tspn/gal of big bud, should I be adding hte same for overdrive? Also, will I need to lower the amounts of bloom ferts I give them once I start overdrive? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

So I should quit using Big Bud after 5 weeks is done and use Overdrive up until flush? Shouldn't Overdrive be used longer than just a week before?hey dude i use both overdrive and big bud.You dont use the 2 together u use big bud till 3 weeks b4 harvest then overdrive till 1 week b4 harvest

overdrive is used after the big bud .....use it like only a week if that is the schedule
Those calculations seem to be a little too high to start out at... do you have any good amount to start at (tspn/gal)?the easiest way dude is to go onto advanced nutes website and look at the nutrient calculator u can put how many weeks you flower for then it will tell which weeks to use big bud and overdrive
exactly dude big bud should be used 2 weeks after flower till week 8 for you then overdrive for 2 weeks then however long you wish to flush.i personaly always go with the lower flower time that way i can just extend my flush.sorry dude i use 6m/l syringes for my nutes and i work mine out in litres you could check the e.c but i generally put 2 6m/l syringes of bloom for every 1 syringe of big bud
So you start the overdrive out at 1/2 the strength of your bloom nutes pretty much? And how long do you try to flush for?exactly dude big bud should be used 2 weeks after flower till week 8 for you then overdrive for 2 weeks then however long you wish to flush.i personaly always go with the lower flower time that way i can just extend my flush.sorry dude i use 6m/l syringes for my nutes and i work mine out in litres you could check the e.c but i generally put 2 6m/l syringes of bloom for every 1 syringe of big bud
I start adding BB week 2 of flower thru week 7-8 depending on how they lookso when did you start to add the overdrive with big bud? Do you keep using that same amount until flush?
I start OD in week 5
BTW I also use GH 3 part for my base.... One One One
I start to reduce the BB about week 6 or 7 and start to up the OD. So For 15 gals I would use in week 6 if everything was looking OK 2 BB 2 OD
Week 7 1 BB 2 OD
Week 8 No BB 3 OD

And you're talking in ounces right? So if about 6 tspns to a ounce then you'd be doing 12 tspns of BB to 15 gallons? I thought you were supposed ot keep the BB at about 1/3 of that the whole time. If it works for oyu I'll probably try to do what you said and see how it goes.I start adding BB week 2 of flower thru week 7-8 depending on how they look
