Just picked sum bid bud boost up today,been advised to use it on top of my usual nutes,the thing bothering me is that i thought during flowering the female cannabis plants need more nitrogen,however the npk is 0-1-3 have i chosen the correct boost here?????Advice waqnted
Here's what you need to know about Big Bud (one of my personal faves from AN):
Big Bud is designed to supplement a regular program of mineral nutrition in your garden with a complement of 19 amino acids for alkaloid and protein synthesis.
The 19 amino acids in Big Bud are precursors to every metabolic process that occurs in plants. This is because amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. Furthermore amino acids are the direct precursors for many plant biochemicals, especially alkaloids.
The intense growth of high-yielding plants presents the grower with many more metabolic processes that can be supplemented directly with Big Bud s ingredients. These ingredients will bulk-up growth because amino acids are hoarded and stored by actively growing plants. Plants recognize them as precious precursors for proteins and alkaloids, and once amino acids are inside the plant, being moved along with the sap of the phloem, they are directed to areas of high biosynthesis and growth.
Amino Acids are called reduced nitrogen , since they have the amine or -NH2 group in their structure. Amino acids are the first thing that plants synthesize when they are fed mineral nitrogen such as nitrates (NO3) or ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3). Other Amino acids get synthesized from the simple ones like glycine, aspartate or serine. Amino acids are sometimes called organic nitrogen as they have both carbon and nitrogen in their molecular structures. Using Big Bud regularly will by-pass, or jump ahead of the conversion of mineral NH3 and N03 into organic nitrogen.
Big Bud provides your plants with 19 pre-synthesized, biologically active amino acids; these will be stored for later use, or be converted into alkaloids, protein and new enzymes, bulking-up all plant growth.
