Big Bud with Overdrive?

So wait, when you just start flowering do you use overdrive with big bud or one before the other? I'm not in the mood to be wasting gold if you know what i mean. The overall plan is Sensi-bloom AB with tarantula, big bud, and OD.. cleaning with final phase when all is said and done. Am I on right track?

you can use them both at the same time, just keep an eye on your ppm since they both raise your ppm by 300. nice plants by the way, looks like a nice scrog setup. you may need to move that screen up though and get rid of the undergrowth. and if this is hydro then stay away from the carbo load by AN. and always keep in mind that when you pay top dollar for nutes like you have from advanced nutes, you can always call their help line. long live REMO

My grow shop totally advises against this; they are veteran herb cultivators. Even advanced nutrients own calculator doesn't suggest both at once.

week 1-2 Normal bloom fert

week 2-4/5 Normal bloom fert + Big Bud

week 4/5-6/7 Normal bloom fert + Overdrive

Weeks are inclusive of the figure stated.

Big Bud, imo, assists in pistil dev and resin
Overdrive, imo, assists in calyx dev and trich maturation

I use both and do not recommend using them simultaneously. I have used them simultaneously before and at the wrong stages and it doesn't help bud production in the slightest, imo, compared to using them individually and as I stated.

for week 2-4/5 how much of each one goes into a gallon of water?
 
I would definitely not use them together. You have a good chance of burn and theyre just not intended to be used together. Last 2 weeks switch out big bid for overdrive, like cappeeler said.

I like your grow set up, next time I would suggest moving your screen a little higher. Maybe around 12-18 inches and make sure u trim out from under your screen to get those nice powerful colas above. And if you've got it handy, give em a feed with b-52 after trimming to help against stress and to give them a boost.

But plants r looking good!!
