In my opinion PK13/14 isn't strong enough or in the right ratio to use a decent booster/hardener and it's more expensive than using monos to do exactly the same job.
Canna's Mono Phosphorus and Potassium are both 20% solutions @ about £12 per litre.
And PK supplementation is near useless without applying a proper EC regime.

ok cool, so can anyone confirm if it works.......
this run has been done on hydro organics....through the flora nova series......
since switching from Dutch pro to this tric production has rocketed, smell has remained the same, but and this is the big but. ......
as flora nova is Lucas formula in a bottle i have followed the exact reccomended dosages and that fucking rancid Dutch pro taste is non existent.....
edit: i was only using 10ml per 20ltr res...flora nova works out at 21ml per 20ltrs so i wernt over ferting before!!
the popcorn nugs ive been chopping through out taste amazing....
i will now never ever flush again!!

I've never used the PK13/14 product but it's made from only 2 salts, Mono Potassium-Phosphate and Potassium Sulphate (I've used both extensively).
The same 2 salts are what makes up 2/3 of the ingredients in 99% of all commercial synthetic hydro flowering nutes/hardeners (same shit just marketed differently).
Yes it will work if you follow proper EC/PH (useless without it) but your best bet is to just buy a bottle of P mono, a bottle of K mono and mix the PK ratio yourself.
A decent flowering feed ratio is about 3-2-6 (scale up in parts), PK13/14 has far too much P in it for flowering (especially late).
I'm afraid Big Mike from AN is right despite all the shit he gets, he studied the botany and got cannabis tissue samples tested to prove the point and still nobody listens.

yea im fully clued up on the AN gear and rep, however i can think of no other brand off hand that uses and tailors there products towards weed.....
there's hundred of bloom boosters and shit in the shop...if i do persue this route as im good with my ec and upping it at what i feel is the right stages.....ill probs use the ghe bio bloom for all the additional additives etc (and im not a fan of mixing brands)....
next q is canna boost (the really expensive gear) im assuming this is like AN bud ignitor.....i have use this before...on that huge slh tree you Lott have seen before.....
i had 3 bottles and can remember adding them like nothing during flower....(i didn't even know what they were for at the time)....so does anyone have any experience of this???

Morning lads I've got a wee question have any of yous heard of using crushed up garlic in water to treat thrips by spraying the water on the infected plant. It sounds a wee bit suss to me lol. As I can't afford neem oil to end of week and I've a clove of garlic there I can use but as I said it sound a wee bit suss to me lol. But this cunt I know is like it's cool I've used it lots of times it's like a organic spray instead of chemicals. I still don't buy it bit if you's have heard of this I would like to hear what you's have to say as I think he's talking pish lol.

How to kill thrips organically indoors
Written by dannah swift
Blooms like this are out of the question if thrips are present.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Thrips are microscopic insects capable of doing great damage to flowers and flower bulbs, as well as foliage. Thrips attack both indoor and outdoor plants and make short work of valuable houseplants. Frustrating as these pests are, not everyone is comfortable using pesticides, especially indoors. Fortunately, garlic and hot pepper emulsions are effective thrip killers. While there may be a faint garlicky-peppery scent in the air around the plants, this solution is definitely chemical-free.

Things you need- Blender
- 3 garlic bulbs
- 2 cayenne peppers or habanero peppers
- Water
Instructions- 1
Place all three bulbs of garlic and peppers in the blender. There's no need to peel the garlic, as you'll strain out the solids later on. Fill the blender 1/3 to 1/2 full with water, replace the lid and blend the garlic, peppers and water until liquefied.
- 2
Pour the liquid through a sieve or other straining tool to separate the solids from the liquids. Compost the solids and place the liquid in a 1-gallon container.
- 3
Fill the container with water and shake the liquid to mix it.
- 4
Pour 1/4-cup of the mixture into the second gallon-sized container. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil. The vegetable oil will help the mixture stick to the plant parts. Gently shake them together and fill the container with water.
- 5
Use that solution to fill a spray bottle. Test the solution on an inconspicuous part of the plant to ensure it doesn't burn the plant. Wait about an hour to see if it has any negative effect, and then spray the affected parts of the plant thoroughly.
- 6
Treat the plant daily until you notice a difference in health and growth.

AN only tailor the ratios to Cannabis, the chemicals inside are exactly the same as everybody elses.
After P and K the only other nutes you need are Nitrogen (Basic grow feed you should have), cal/mag (you should have) and maybe some trace mix (if feeling generous).
Mixing brands is bollocks mate, I don't know how many times I have to say it but all the chemicals are the same.
All boosters are bullshit, if you use give the plant the basic elements it needs in the ratios it needs, when it needs them then you'll grow dank trees as standard.
Stop calling that plant SLH Lemon, it isn't.
Call your shit exactly what it is, Lemon Skunk.
