Concentrate on healthy leaves.
healthy leaves = healthy plant = vigorous growth = plentiful buds.
throw too much crap at a plant and you risk stunting it, burning it etc.
too many people get hung up on bloom boosters and magic tonics etc when keeping your plants green and healthy should be your only
Concern.

Fox Farm has powdered bloom boosters you should look into if you like FF. I've used Beastie Bloomz at the end of week 4 and 5 in the past and cha ching in the final weeks of flower. Use once per week.

A nice, cheap and organic boost which will sweeten the flavour and smell and boost density, which you can add as a foliar spray is good old molasses. Mix a teaspoon in a gallon and spray it on the plant a few times a week.

Screw bloom boosters .... you are basically buying and using MORE fertilizer . Excess phosphorus can be an issue to plants.
One of the easiest “ bumps “ is to use kelp seaweed instead.
Simple , organic and full of micronutrients / cytokines.

Gotta agree with the stuff. It's a great for root breakdown preventing rot and has metabolic benefits. It's a great substitute for products like Cannazym which can add up.

I'm running moab for the first time in Coco haven't noticed anything better from when I run cool bloom liquid and finish with the dry cool bloom but it's still too early to tell at this point

I always drop my base nutes and add booster at the end. I have never gone without some type of booster. I would try but im getting great results the way im doing it so im going to continue but it would be interesting to run some clones side by side testing it out. Im in coco so hitting them with 6 watering now im the end of flower so it could really depend on your medium. if i was in soil i wouldn't use the same boosters i use in coco.. but I still believe you can get it really awesome results without all the extras.

If you want to reduce your base nutes and add something to increase K only, then use potassium sulfate...BOOM homemade terpinator. Those monopotassium phosphate bloom boosters are just the goofiest thing, how long will it take for the cannabis fertilizer industry to stop forcing useless amounts of phosphorus on us? Totally agree with seaweed, I run it through every grow, one of the best flavor enhancers along with all the other benefits. Epsom salt is a reasonable addition for as well-don't need much, I'm talking 1/4 teaspoon per 3 gallons (1/4 teaspoon per gallon if you're actually deficient in mg). A little extra sulfur in the form of epsom salts or potassium sulfate goes a long way towards making dank buds.

There is no magic juice to improve yields ...
Many growers will run 3-3-3 / 4-4-4 type fertilizer all the way thruout grow ... nothing else. You want bigger yields ? - grow the foliage out bigger up front , keep as much green leaf thru grow , run better genetics .
No need to use sugary liquids or limonene heavy additives to skew the” flavor “ ... or “ cartoon bottles “ . Maybe a little Mag sulfate ( epsom ) to keep green , calcium to strengthen cells , and kelp.
Put mountain dew back in fridge.

Low ppm diet (1.2 EC max) with a dialed environment gets you the best yields. At most just add a little more of your PK imputs that you are already using if you feel like it needs extra. You can use super bud boosters to get bigger buds but they will taste like shit and give you heartburn no matter how long you flush.
