good nutrient supplement to produce bigger buds?

[mobby420]

is there any nutrient or additive i can use in flowering to make my yeild bigger?

i heard superthrive is good?

i have hard water and am using very little nutrients now to compensate the high ppm....

i am using optimum hydroponix a + b flowering nutes for hydroponics. i add epsom salts and a bit of hygrozyme also.


something that would work for both earth and hydro would be best, thanks!

anyone?

im sure some of you add something in the floweering stage to get bigger fuller buds?

Most nute manufacturers produce supplements (usually a few) for use during flowering.

Looks like your nute manufacturer is selling something called sonic boost, and mermix powder which has high concentrations of Potassium.

i honestly don't know. i figured the same manufacturers products would compliment each other but who knows?

I dont think so

a lot of people like fox farm & advanced nutrients(very pricey).

I dont think so

i wonder what makes you say that. Most manufacturers publish their feeding schedules and recommendations and i don't think any of them recommend using a competitors products during any phase of growth.

mobby420 - you should scan the grow journals to see what other folks use as far as mix and match.

i think the best thing you can do is listen to the plant - it will tell you what it needs. And i think the single most important thing you need in order to get those inflated calyxes: patience.

You're right, molasses is many growers' secret ingredient. "It will raise the energy of the plant and act as a natural fungicide." It can increase yeild around 20% if you add it properly during the last six weeks. Do some research before you try it of course.

ive read about them, but havent read anyone using it in hydroponics, im growing in rockwool blocks! so thats what im trying to figure out !

 

[butterflykisses]

use Dr.pepper instead of molassas in hydro it works the same way without messing up your equipment

 

[heavenlysmoke]

i dont add mollasses i add manuca honey!its good stuff!

 

[aeroponics]

Dr. pepper WTF you cant be serious

 

[Bongman]

Oh, I forgot you had a hydroponics system. Not sure about molasses then.

 

[mobby420]

dr pepper?!? has anyone else tried that ? lol !

I've juss seen grow journals where people mix different stuff, so I juss assumed if you know what ur doing you can do that, I dont Though i find it much easier to go with what the manufacturers reccomend. And of course manufacturers arent gonna reccomend another brand, that wouldnt make much sense.

Here's what you need to get. They are pricey but well worth it. I'm using the A.N. products and I'm very happy with the results.
