Best additives for bud and trichome growth?

I just bought Big Bud a little late as my Afghani Bullrider is 7 weeks into flowering but after 6 days of use (2 feedings) I saw a HUGE difference in bud growth.

Now I'm curious what additives could I use to get dense buds and trichomes that look like sprinkled sugar over the plant.

I'm using the 3 Step basic AN Nutes + Big Bud so far (Saving these for my next grow which could be Skywalker Kush, Critical Jack Herer, or Critical Kush.

What else could I add? I heard Blackstrap Molassess is great for flowering.

Really looking for dense buds but really want that sugar trichome look

I use the Fox Farm trio with a 0-50-30 bloom booster in Happy frog soil and I've always had no shortage of trichomes.

Did you grow without it and see a difference with a similar strain? That is what I'm curious about. I really just wanted a real dense cola or a real frosty plant which takes work not only $ on nutes but I'm curious if people actually see a huge difference with it than without like 20% more buds or 5% more frost

I don't know... You sure you didn't see a natural bump in growth? In a 8 wk plant you get quite a bump during week 6... then.... depending on genetics, you see another couple bumps before harvest.

Super frosty nugs?... that's a genetic thing.

I like using Dyna-Gro mixed with AN for flowering. For veg I just use Dyna-Gro Grow and Pro-tekt. For flowering I use Dyna-Gro Bloom and Pro-Tetk, AN Big Bud, AN Bud Candy, AN Overdrive, and some amino aide. This nute lineup has done me very well.

Humbolt's Snow Storm for trichrome production.
You could use a UVB Reptile light to increase trichrome production. The UVB light takes more time, and cost more than the bottle of Snow Storm.
Humbolt's Gravity for denser buds.

There are other supplements that will do the same thing as Humbolt's supplements. There usually in a small bottle, with a big price.

^That's right.. I forgot. UVB lighting.. Kite High has some convincing lab results that showed higher THC (I think it was 2 or 3% jump) when using UVB.

As for a bottle? If something REALLY worked, I would think that there would be lab results to back it up by now.

Here's what to do: Go to your favorite hydro store, and ask what's the biggest 'seller' [you want what all the other noob's are wasting their money on...].............................................. Ask for this---- "The Biggest Bottle of 'Pure' clear Snake Oil" Ask him with a straight face, and stand there and wait for an answer... "Yes, I want the biggest bottle of bull sheiot snake oil you have, that will guarantee to make my buds better.." That ought to make his day...GOOD LUCK!

0-0-3... potassium.

I've played with the PK boosters before. I don't know. No noticeable difference, but I didn't ship anything off to a lab to be tested. Visually, smoked, I didn't see anything.

I'm just saying it increases the amount of trichromes on your plant. Which it will.
I'm not saying it will make your plant more potent.
I trim all those small bud leafs, there loaded with trichromes I run through a rotary hash screen. I get a pile of nice hash.
The buds have better eye appeal. Every body likes nice frosty buds.

Those pics you put up are nice. Looks very resinous.
