Hey everyone. Just wondering what ya'll would recommend for stand-alone blom boosters.
There's so many different bloom boosters out there!
Currently I'm using Fox Farm "Big Bloom", and Humbolt Nutrients "Big up". I of corse have the option of adding anything elese but it is costly to buy. I like to stick to Fox Farm brand but I don't have the money to buy "Cha-Ching" or "Open Sesame" but I would of corse like to maximize bud production.
Is using "Big Bloom" enough?

Although i am not a fan of ff three part i have had good luck with open seasame, cha ching, and big bloom. I actually had my best yeild ever using the powdered form of those three growing a auto flower of all things, got just under 6 oz dry. its the plant in my default picture.

Im with skunk doc, i had to learn this the hard way its not fun and deff not worth the money. just get complete nutrition down. bloom boosters are just to boost the pockets of nute companys.

Like everyone above says fella, bloom boosts are ALL a ripoff, most learn this relatively quickly but some have literally spent $1000's on high P nutes and will defend them to the death due to their own stubborn stupidity.

The best and only "bloom boost" is a huge root system and lush healthy foliage. ;)

Practice this and no boost is EVER needed and the plant is healthier without the 'Junk' food of the "nutrient" world...

plants have differing elemental requirements throughout its lifespan. If you are growing with non soil medium you will be feeding on your own opinion when your plant is hungry, you will be feeding with nutes chosen from your opinion, maybe based on someone else's opinion. However, if your plants require a .. Ratio.. That you are not providing with your base feed or certain elements that are omitted from your base then another product could provide this. I like buddhas tree. I believe you could like it too and others but you'd have to try it to agree or disagree not base your judgment on others (even if they have a huge following)

i have done many boosters.. 9/10 of them are PK based. If you buy a simple bottle of PK 13/14 you will get pretty much the same results imo.

triacontanol mixed with alcohol then added to water and sprayed on the plants during the night cycle

You can also add it to your feed if the feed your using has none in it already

The down side is it can make your plants shorter but during veg it makes them side branch more and during bloom it speeds everything up

Most of the bloom busters that actually work are just PK or Carbs or both, some use natural sugars that also have plant hormones in them but molasses can pretty much cover that

But Triacontanol is the single most effective thing I`ve ever use outside of "normal" feeding

GA3 works too but it`s more for making plants grow high fast so you probably don`t want any of that during bloom but some people use it to get their buds longer

i gotta agree with skunk, bloom boosters by nature are only gunna help if your base nutes are lacking. god damn marketing slows so much of the progress in gardening knowledge.

how large the numbers are doesn't matter, its about the ratio :) bigger numbers just means you are dealing with a more concentrated product with less filler!
