Info on bloom boosters

[New Grower777]

I have my first female and was just wondering if I could get some info on bloom boosters. I was thinking of Tiger Bloom 3-5-8. I have heard low nitrogen is best for flowering.

get jacks classic blossom booster - http://www.jacksclassic.com/

for flower the best ratio you want 1-3-2

Would a 3-5-8 be bad?

 

[Imaulle]

it isn't bad, no. but the 10-30-20 from jacks is much better, and it's a lot less $$$ (for soil)


if you are soilless then you'll want something else... look into the dyna-gro stuff. currently those are the best for complete foods.

I am all about the Jack's classic.

All I can get my hands on right now is Tiger Bloom witch is actually 2-8-4 not 3-5-8. Will I see any results with that or am I just wasting money and time?

IMO flora nova bloom is better than dynagro for a complete food. Tiger bloom will be fine as a bloom booster. I personally use bloombastic

Tiger bloom works great for me, check out my Sig

So I just started using Tiger Bloom and was just wondering what concentration I should be using it at? Right now I just did what the instructions told me, 2 teaspoons per gallon. Is that too much?

Brilliant. For flowering you need at least as much K as P, and both higher than N.

Read my small link below. Good luck.

REally need to use half strength at first. Then work your way up to full strength. Just keep am eye on the tips, if they start to burn flush your plant.

i've used the tiger bloom (the whole liquid ff trio actually) and gotten very respectable results but i find my plants yellow a little earlier than i would like them to, even when given adequate nitrogen during veg. i am currently on my first go with jack's and only about a week into flower so we'll see how it goes.

I have noticed a little burning of the tips, should I flush? If so how do I do that?

 

[letitgrow77]

I usually give the plant straigt ph'd water. 2-3 times the normal amount. After flush I give it 1\4th recommend strength nutes.

 

[New Grower777]

Should I do that now, or later for the next watering?

 

[letitgrow77]

Just keep an eye on them, if the burning gets worse then flush asap. If it doesn't get any worse than it is now atleast you know the plants tolerance level.

 

[New Grower777]

Since there was some burning, should I go 1/4 strength from now on?

 

[letitgrow77]

Yeah I would, then work your way up to full strength. How are they looking? If their not too badly burnt then just give about half of what you did before

 

[rene112388]

I agree with letitgrow I would just give the ph'd water next feed then start at 1/4 strength this has worked for me as far as type of nuts its more a personal preference what works for one grower doesn't always work for another

This is what she is looking like now. Those tips are the worst of all of them, the rest are all just the very tip.
