Okay... So I succumbed to intense peer pressure and ordered my bottle of Bloombastic last month. I'm now on day 29 of 12/12 with an Afghan Mazar bloom cycle and I started using Bloombastic along with my PureBlendPro and Botanicare nutes about 12 days ago on day 18. I'm very impressed so far. Although I haven't grown this particular strain before, I'm very encouraged by the early trich development. It definitely seems like the schedule has been moved up a week or so. I plan on alternating feeds with Bloombastic and Overdrive the last couple of weeks if I can just figure out when THAT will be!
Here's a few pic's of what's going on as of a few days ago on day 26.
Peace!

Greenplant nice plant.
IMO Bloombastic is just another product that is well-plotted marketing hype -- it's got all the same ingredients as all the other products + clay. You can buy volcanic clay in bulk at health food stores for cheap!!!
I use Foxfarm's Cha-Ching and I get bulky buds. I also use Big Bud because of the amino acids, for the final weeks I use molasses which has amino acids, sugar and copper + other trace minerals.--------
------
I think Bloombastic is fine for newbies or someone who is not really into the gardening aspect. The rest of us alchemists are going to continue to try different products always looking to get bigger and better results.

Didn't go through all 14 pages, so this is just meant to offer my experiences for ref as have used bmb for a while & prev used bb/od for a while... clearly both have marketing behind them, but one appears more concerned w maximizing profits... you can judge for yourself on which is which (beyond this thread).
have to say, like the bmb better. it's easier to use & a lot less applied (.5-1ml/gal = 60-120ppms). start at week 3, can wait til wk4, you can really see the difference. part of this is that i run my room hot & the structure is def denser/bigger w the bmb... may be diff in your room...? doesn't lower the pH but buffers it around 6.0-6.1... this would dep a lot on your local water/nutes used. very solid, easy & w tangible results. imho, better performance in the end.
just my take, just to balance against all the others... 14 pages!!! short attention span... peace!

Used bloombastic last grow,over did it.plants still did ok,using botanicare and lowered it to half strength and bloombastic at 1.2 per gallon.holly shit this stuff works.plats look about five weeks into flower at three.costs a shitload but you dont need much and i definetly noticed a change,but gona go real slow this time,not much crystal change but flower size and speed of wich they growing are noticable.but i do wana say this stuff is pricey and if you don't have a proper set up i dont think it would really help.Enviroment is way more important than high priced food.Doesnt make much difference what you feed them if they cant uptake it.if you get it be careful and you will like it.good luck all

Man, I totally agree that environment is important, but once you have that under control, high quality nutes are the next step.
If you want to boost your harvest, things like Advanced Nutrients are certainly going to help you - and even more so if your environment is rockin.
True, you can't give plants too many nutes - that's no good either - but the difference between 'just anything' and high quality products like Advanced Nutrients is noticeable. At least, it has been for me.
Any one else?

Huh, so I'm jumping in late to the fray, but it looks like Overdrive is this (well, according to their site):
Overdrive reinvigorates flowering and creates a renewed burst of resins, scents, terpenoids, size and other very desirable traits that will give you impressive harvests instead of disappointing ones.
You know what? It wasnt easy to create this late-season plant growth miracle formula. Our scientists spent several years examining plant tissue samples and running experiments on the kinds of plants you grow. They also examined the internal clocks that run a plants life cycle.
They discovered a never-before-used combination of vitamins, organic materials, nutrients and other ingredients that make Overdrive a powerhouse harvest-boosting formula used by thousands of growers worldwide.
For example, Overdrive contains special forms of folic acid that work on a genetic level to reprogram blooming plants so they produce larger flowers late in bloom phase.
Overdrive also contains plant-friendly forms of Vitamin C. These special vitamins increase photosynthesis efficiency and makes plants better able to deal with heat, high intensity lighting and stress.
All of Overdrives ingredients are matched so they work together to give your plants exactly what they need for late-season bloom building.
See Flower Size Increase Right Away
Now that you know how it works, Im sure youll be eager to apply Overdrive formula during the last four weeks of bloom phase, and watch amazing things happen in your garden. Cells repair themselves faster and increase their metabolism. Flower growth is ramped up. Roots take in more nutrients. Plants better resist disease and stress. The buds swell up before your very eyes when you use Overdrive.
Unlike many other bloom phase additives made by competitors, Overdrive does not rely on typical potassium-phosphorus augmentation. Instead, its a complete, unique feeding of ideal nutrients, vitamins and other substances that cause plants to redouble their flower production late in bloom phase.
Better yet, Overdrive is precision-engineered so its easy to use and safe to use. You will find that it mixes well and is taken in quickly by plants in any type of hydroponics system. Its powerful and fast-acting.
And this is what the Atami Bloombastic site says:
The Bloombastic formula contains biological minerals in combination with biological stimulants to create a one of a kind nutrient additive specifically designed for the flowering and ripening of your plants. The unique combination of elements in Blombastic will trigger explosive sugar and bloom production that will ensure a soft, sweet flavor of the bloom in addition to large compact buds.
Bloombastic will also stimulate the enzyme process on several levels that will make your plant less sensitive to stress factors such as: warmth, dry air, high light intensity, disease, and nutrient inadequacies.
This flowering innovation does not contain any ballast ingredients such as sodium and chlorine.
Compared to other cocktails, Bloombastic contains at least 50% more phosphorus and potassium.
Directions for use:
Bloombastic should be used in the final 4 to 6 weeks of the bloom and ripening stage of plant growth.
Okay, so when I read both of these, they seem like similar products, but I'm not as wowed by the Atami product.
Advanced Nutrients Overdrive sounds amazing. It sounds like it has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are happy for the plants.
Looks like you use em about the same.
Huh. Interesting side by side comparison.
I've used the Overdrive before - good stuff. Definite improvement in that grow, I have to say.

overdrive works well. AN have great flowering boosters additives. bud blood. bud ignitor. bud candy. big bud. overdrive.
Just thought Id add to this disscussion...... Im using Botanicare. pk 13/14 and Humbolts additives, and harvesting 2lbs per 1k. Its all about environment!!! my environmnet is dialed. i actually prefer to adjust my own PH due to the fact plants feed on magnesium, nitrogen, etc. at different PH's. just a thought. HOWEVER I MUST AGREE WITH ANYBODY who beleives all this advanced nutrients are just expensive nonsense! They do the same thing any other nutrient does. dont be fooled! plants all eat and need the same vitamins. they all just have different labels on them. ITS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE THEM.
AN has a 100% gaurantee thet they dont stand behind!! how many people do you know got money back from not being happy with there products??????oh ya? and how many of these big med growers have you talked to? Have you actually talked to one? Or are you just like the rest of the haters? lol its funny how we have non believers on how AN works better than other brands. Now I agree with BCtrippin that you dont have to use the whole line but once you've got this system down I can put money on it that my flowers will be bigger and more potent than yours. GH nutes can kiss my ass they are not specifically made for fast flowering highly resionous producing plants now are they? do your own tests before blabbing what you've heard from others or read in the forums, most of these cats running cfl's or nothing even more than a 400w hps. I"m not screwing around with that business I run real lighting, with real nutrients, no bs. But go ahead and hate on the AN lineup its all good I still know that my flowers are better and bigger than yours. Oh yea and how many other nute companies have a %100 money back guarantee with their product or 24 hr full time tech support? anyone...........so to let you know your in the wrong thread baggin on the AN buddy I asked at the begining of this thread to not knock on my nutes yet here you are haha go figure
and they are the only company who offers this because they know they have issues with there products and need to make the buyer feel safe in buying unstable products!! sorry love there overdrive and big bud but hate the company. went from spending a 1000 a month on there products and i got one bad bottle and they told me to beat it!!!

I feel the same way. If you can't stand behind your work then why bother
overdrive sounds just like shooting powder from house and gardens
same shit, different pile.
