I'm using 3 part GH flora NUTRIENTS, liquid kool bloom, armor silica and +LIFE (similar to white shark).
What other nutrient could I add that would further promote bud growth I'm in my 4th week of flowering. Medium:Coco...strain:xxx og. Any suggestions. Thanx in advance 20171031_194326.jpg

your plant grows to its weakest resource. you are providing every needed nutrient currently. I would focus on the missing resources above the roots. Lights, air quality/flow/exchange/co2/RH/temperatures. Once provided along with good feeding/watering habits your plants will grow to their potential. If you add items that produce better results...means you were shorting those already.
Most breeders today provide fire seeds, its the grower that puts that fire out imo.

The only things I might consider would be somehow working Chitin into your bloom nutes to help stimulate SAR and maybe a foliar from the end of veg to around week 4. Neither needs to be expensive, you can get Chitin from numerous soil amendments or flowering nutes. And the foliar could be as simple as kelp and some form of calcium possibly with a growth stimulant.

You could buy enough dry amendments for well over a year for about 40 bucks if you planned on making teas yourself. Otherwise there are many bottled products that would work.

This is also very true. Your plants can only grow to their weakest input. Keeping it simple is the way to go until you start getting the same yield consistently, at that point you want to evaluate what's missing and work forward. I went from pulling 3/4 a lb from a 1000w hps to almost 2 from the same light by doing this.


There is an entire thread somewhere on the forums about how people grow fire with nothing but maxibloom powder and cal mag essentially. Most everything that affects your potency and yield comes from providing *basic* nutrition to the plant in a good environment.

Yes there's 2 that are a must in every garden CalMag and Microbes either from mammoth p "growcentia" or photosynthesis plus from microbe life. Other than that nope i promise you will see s noticeable yield increase if you add those 2Here's a example.

Oh and insect frass is a excellent source of chitin it can be used as a top dress,mixed with your water or a foliar spray application

Yeah insect grass is great as well, I'm actually about to get some for the stuff im flipping into bloom this week.

Probably going to top dress with milled malted barley and frass on half of them to see if it improves over my usual method. Im also getting a sample of mammoth p shipped right now, i was planning on using that on everything as I'm not that worried about it negatively impacting anything, but before I start spending that kind of money on nutrients I like to test them first because I'm always skeptical of a $100+ per harvest bottled nute.

Try photosynthesis plus from microbe life if you're looking to go a little cheaper it offers the same effects as mammoth p and is more affordable. The samples mammoth gives you are minimal and only enough for maybe 1 plant through the flower period.
