hey RIU,
so i just read that pk13/14 should be given at low dosage from early in flower and gradually build it up to full strength after few weeks, is this a good idea? iv read also that if i give my babies the full dosage straight away it will burn them, if thats true why does it say that on the bottle?

So what ive gone for is 1ml pk per ltr water but rather than 30ml A and 30ml B on flores ive done 20ml of each and usual 40ml boost.... does this sound like a better plan???

any info would be great as the www is getting on my tits with all the different shit ppl put on there

cheers RIU

you in hydro or soil, i know it aint coco cos they have one feed for veg and flower.

as for canna pk 13/14 i have had four bottles all say different instructions on the back, i don't listen to them any more.

i use pk13/14 at 1ml/l for one week only, lowering my base nutes to 2ml/l and boost at 2ml/l in coco. usually around the start of week 3 (when all the little buds have started forming)

edit, i noticed you postd in teh hydro section duhh :P

the pk 13/14 is really salty that is why i only use for a week max, be careful not to burn the pants with extended use as your hydro nutes will have higher pk already

Yea. If youre going to use that stuff more than once it would be wise to go half strength. Don't use any longer than a week if in hydro. It can totally burn.

boost can be used when small flowers appear until you start to taper nutes. pk 13/14 should be used for 1 week only at about week 5 or 6 when the flowers are starting to elongate and grow together
as ghb suggests, cut back on everything else during pk week
only use1/2 dose of pk. it is very hot

cheers for the swift reply,
I did hold back on the base nutes only given them 2ml a and 2ml b rather than 3ml but i didnt on the boost giving it the usual 4ml. hopefully this wont burn them!

do you think the pk + boost is worth doing? my buds are getting there but nowhere near what i thought, just hope they put some size on

only in week 5 of 12/12

pk is worth doing imo. the trick is to get the timing right.
boost also works but I use a cheaper version ..BudXL

i take it these big bud will fill out alot in the weeks coming coz they look small at the moment

iv used the pk now and i think its the right time as my buds starting to creep up the stem and branches to merge
thats right isnt it??

as stated, pk boosters should be used for 1 week at week 5 of flower. one thing to remember, is to reduce your base nutes. if you don't you're more than likely to burn your girls...
