Late Pk boosters

So currently am using shooting powder weeks 5-8 along with bud XL weeks 3-8 but am getting horrid foxtailing. Suffice to say I plan on switching to moab however with a 0-50-30 ratio its (to my. Understanding) undesirable to have higher levels of p during final phases and something like big bud (0-1-3) would be better suited to the final budding stage. I use H&G hydro line along with various microbes and enzymes. Although sp definitely stacks a rediculous amount of weight the immature growth and blown out bud structure is imo not worth it.

So I was wondering what you're pk regiment is and anyone who can shed light on the right times to be hitting em with p and k. For instance, is it, low amounts of p during the stretching phase with exacerbate the stretch.

Most of this is probably redundant however as it's hard to regulate the levels in the rez as its a 800 litre multipod iws system and although I can change the water in the butt's there's about 200 litres that sits in the modular buckets and there's no way to replace this during flower so the water doesn't get changed during the cycle just replenished so I can only regulate what I put in an ppm/pH levels. The shooting powder gets added week 5 but there will be residual amounts right up until chop.

I don’t feed boosters at all just feed them well their entire grow.

A 0-50-30 ratio is monopotassium phosphate which can be had for under ten dollars a pound. If you're paying more than that you're paying too much. I don't use boosters either. I just feed properly throughout the entire grow. When I was using chemical salts I included monopotassium phosphate. No need to add any additional boosters and make things any more complicated than they need to be.
