is there any nutrient or additive i can use in flowering to make my yeild bigger?

i heard superthrive is good?

i have hard water and am using very little nutrients now to compensate the high ppm....

i am using optimum hydroponix a + b flowering nutes for hydroponics. i add epsom salts and a bit of hygrozyme also.


something that would work for both earth and hydro would be best, thanks!

Most nute manufacturers produce supplements (usually a few) for use during flowering.

Looks like your nute manufacturer is selling something called sonic boost, and mermix powder which has high concentrations of Potassium.
Optimum Hydroponix™®

i wonder what makes you say that. Most manufacturers publish their feeding schedules and recommendations and i don't think any of them recommend using a competitors products during any phase of growth.

mobby420 - you should scan the grow journals to see what other folks use as far as mix and match.

i think the best thing you can do is listen to the plant - it will tell you what it needs. And i think the single most important thing you need in order to get those inflated calyxes: patience.

You're right, molasses is many growers' secret ingredient. "It will raise the energy of the plant and act as a natural fungicide." It can increase yeild around 20% if you add it properly during the last six weeks. Do some research before you try it of course.

I've juss seen grow journals where people mix different stuff, so I juss assumed if you know what ur doing you can do that, I dont Though i find it much easier to go with what the manufacturers reccomend. And of course manufacturers arent gonna reccomend another brand, that wouldnt make much sense.
