Yes i do. I did some more research and this is what i came up with for bigger stickier tastier buds. 1) Kool Bloom by General Hydroponics for big buds. 2) Ultra Snow storm by Humboldt Counties Own Emerald Triangle for extra sticky buds. 3) Sugar Cane by General Hydroponics for natural flavor and aroma. And by natural I mean not flavored like grape or some shit. 4) Clearex by Botanicare for the last week flush. What do you think? Is this everything?

It all starts with genetics.

No I'm sure you could buy a lot more than that!! lol
I think what the other guys are hinting at is that you can buy all the snake oil in the world, but it's genetics and environment that will determine your outcome.
Don't believe the hype.

UV light (not some cheap lizard light, HAH pls), jasmonic acid. Both have shown to increase trichome production.

Its a california light works LED full cycle 200w. Best LED's on the market in my opinion.

Ooh, why are using those blue tubes for air hoses and water levels?

So they do not let in light which will create algae. I had the clear kind before and they got all gunked up with algae. Since I've been using the blue kind i have not had any issues with algae.

I find that the best way aside from quality genetics is to keep your plant GREEN and healthy all the way to harvest. Boosters,additives,and snake oils hurt you plants. You might find one that will give you a lil bit more frost but it will more than likely hurt you in yield. Those things might stress your plant into producing more resin but overall bad health of the plant will kill you in every other department.
Green healthy plants equal more and better bud.

Lets put it like this. I have been active on the topics about root slime prevention, and most of the people taht came there with problems were people that were using aditives. Their problems would regularely go away once they stoped using aditives and kept using only inorganic nutrients and microbe tea.

I use organics and additives and no tea or chiller
genetics X environment.
edit to expand: you could add a tleast 4 ~40w cfl's around the sides, normally you'd have groomed off a lot of that lower growth that's far away from the light, as it is much weaker than the sun. but overall it doesn't look like a bad setup.
the key is never what super additives you use, it's literally as simple as allowing good genetics to do what they can do in a perfectly healthy environment. as long as her needs are met, basically. follow almost any decent feeding schedule.

Ive looked at every bloom booster on the market & most are a complete waste of cash , especially shit like pineapple , grape ect ect , the npk ratios are what tell the story , ive tried several boosters that came as freebies when i load up on GH Bloom & Micro & the only bloom booster ive found that gives real results is Botanicare brand Hydroplex , it's npk of 0-10-6 which is perfect for budding & it also contains an assload of micro nutes such as Calcium , Magniseum , Sulfur , Iron , Cheleated Iron , Maganese , Cheleated Maganese , Molybdenum MO , Zinc & Cheleated Zinc , you will not ever experience micro nute deficiencies running Hydroplex .
At my high point i had 8 seperate 4ft x 8ft flood n drain tables going so it was easy to do side by side comparisons running different bloom enhancers at the same time in different tables while keeping 1 table fed with the General Hydroponics 3 part system for a baseline , the only brand that gave reliable results of larger yeilds was Hydroplex , i added 10% to 15% & retained those numbers to this day by using Hydroplex 50/50 with GH Flora Bloom , the GH Kool Bloom & Advanced shit added nothing except ppm .
You might want to forget about using that Clearxex crap too , flushing with it didnt make my buds any smoother , infact your working against heavy yeilds by flushing instead of feeding , the last 7 to 10 days the buds are still bulking up & you loose that when you stop feeding , your best to cut the Nitrogen by week 4 vs flushing ,

Additive for extra big sticky buds... genetics?
