:weed:im going through something similar, a friend told me that i should flush my plants and then give the nutes at different times of the day. its supposed to give the plant time to finish with one and then work on the other.And i would give it to them at week 4 and five, maybe a little of 6.:bigjoint: (7 week flowering schedule)

yeah the theroy is the plant can handle one set of nutes at a time better then having to deal with two. i have used thst method for a week and a half and I do see some improvment.

when i did it, i flushed my plants, about a half an hour later I gave them 1/8 strength of the reg bloom nutes. then a couple hours later 20 min. before the lights were going out I gave them the bud enhancers at an 1/8 strength. i did that every 2-3 days(flushing included) and the problem started to clear up.

only thing i would suggest if you are not using a meter, go half strength with everything until you this problem quits. less is more in dwc

You need to make sure that you are using 25% less of the Big Bud and the Bud Candy when you use them.

And personally, I would only use them with AN nutes, not with GH. The two types of nutes might conflict. I try to stick with one brand at a time.

Otherwise, you might have unforeseen complications that neither nute company could anticipate. After all, they don't test their products with the stuff the other guys use...

Don't mix stuff up, IMHO

Throw the additives away. Everything you need is in that 3 part and you don't even need 1 of the parts.

I am convinced the rest is snake oil. Sure, some of it might help but they aren't helping you. So why use it?

first of all big bud and bud candy are almost the same type product big bud creats 20 % more yield and bud candy creats around half of that used stand alone bud bud candy will give you enhanced flavor even the site recommend that u can use them together with there guide but i think its just a way for u to spend more money lol i say do a test half ur plants use bb and the other half use bc and maybe on one use both just to see the notable differences
