im about 3 weeks into flowering now, and im useing a bubbler setup with GH 3 part nutes mixed 0/1/3 (g/m/b) @ 1300 PPM. my question is what kinda of bud boosting nute would yall use? im wanting something simple yet effective. i was thinking something like carbo load, but if yall have tried any other products that work better please let me know. please tell me of any pros/cons of any product you have used. this is my first hydro grow so any input is very helpful.
thanx:peace:

Try GH's Kool Bloom.

the Carbo Load wouldn't help much, if you like AN you could use Big Bud or Overdrive.

You will want to cut back on the basic salts a little when you start the bud booster.

try banana manna, its great stuff

all natural

but smells like shit.

made from real bananas-and works like a charm-a little pricey though

I'm using Monster Bloom at the moment, But my buddy is using Diamond Nectar. I think his may be a little better then mine. I could tell a difference in his buds the day after he added it. :peace:

i will be using beastie bloomz from foxfarm. Its the phosph. that bulks up the bud, and there are no extra nitro. Its like 0-50-something?

Anyone have an opinion about Awesome blossom.
Used it before and it worked well.
Same with Bannana Mana.
keep hearing good things about Fox Farms too.
I'm finding it hard to really decide what works best.
So much out there and I really want to stay as organic as posible.
The sugar thing makes all the sense in the world especially since you
get everything else you need with a good bloom.
I have had very good luck with the pure blend products.
Interested to hear what others have to say.

Kool bloom eh?
What in particular do you like about it?
Have you always used it? What is your take
on some of the other popular Bloom boosts,
and why the preference?

Kool Bloom is strictly chemical, if you want to stay organic, you are using one of the best in Pure Blend Pro.

Hey Pot, how much should you cut back on nutes when going to the Kool Bloom.Just bought some today(as per your validation of the product), and I mixed like it said to on the bottle. I am using GH's flora series and the directions on KoolBloom say to mix nutes as normal and then add 1 to 2 tbsp./gallon of Kool Bloom to that. Does your experience say otherwise?
thanks to all for input.

That's a strong nute mix. Your PPM is up around 1700-1800. I know that's what GH sez to use, but I've never used that much. And GH sez to use less flora with the KB. If you've got 60+ watts/sqft, and CO2, and high temps, your plants can use that much, otherwise, it's just a waste of nutes.

PotRoast,
what do you mix per gallon? what do you recommend? My plants have never shown signs of stress, and appear to be budding nicely(for what I know). Haven't started the Kool Bloom yet.Am going to dump res. today and start with nuted/KB mix
please show me the light bud master!!

I measure in ml/gallon, and use this for Micro, Bloom, and Grow:

early veg 4-3-6
peak veg 5-4-8
early flower 6-8-4
peak flower 7-10-3 plus Kool Bloom

I've been using General Hydroponics flora series, and just started on Kool Bloom bud booster. This is my first dro grow, so this is all I have experience with. With the advice from theses forums , and a really light green thumb I beleive my first harvest will be relatively good.

Thanks Potroast,
Good to know about the Kool Bloom.
I'm all about organic, always have been and plan on staying that way.
I'm about week 4 now considering a bit of Awesome blossom around week 6.
Other than that it's
Pure Blend pro and a godd water flush all the way.
