Hello all, im coming up for week 5 tomorrow of flowering (see my journal if you want?). Ive been using Hydrotops Solo Soil all through with great results. However I just want a bit of boost as I feel that my nugs should be a bit bigger than this (first time growing Critical Kush).

Hydrotops are lacking info on their range so had to email them for NPK values as their launch 5L cans had nothing but a small sticker labeling 'Grow' 'Bloom' and 'Boost'
SoLo Grow N7 P7 K10
SoLo Bloom N7 P7 K13
SoLo Boost P10 K25


Im going to buy either Atami Bloombastic or the Home & Garden Top Shooter Gel. Not sure yet... But at the mo ive followed the feeding schedule they provided and ive cut out the Grow now and on 5ml Bloom and 5ml Boost per 1tr
How would I use either the Bloombastic or Shooter Gel with a nute range such as I have?
Is it worth it with NPK values im using?
My PH is 6.8 and runoff is 6.2 in soil if that helps too... As Hydrotops claim to adjust their nutes to the particular Hydro shop post code area they are sending to.

Any help would be greatly received, im sure someone has the knowledge I need! Big loves! :weed:

Check out Mad Farmer's M.O.A.B. (Mother of all blooms) its cheaper than shooting powder, and Bloombastic and works damn good. I just switched over to it from overdrive and I am really impressed. also if you're going to use a booster such as these I wouldn't use the booster from solo together with these other boosters

Save your money. You already have plenty of P & K in those nutes you're currently using. Boosting it up higher is just going to cause problems. If anything you need to be giving it more N relative to those values.

I use a 9-3-6 for most of my plants growth and start mixing in some 3-12-6 the last 4-6 weeks. Haven't had any problems with nug density so I doubt that is your problem.

Take a look at your amount of light, temps, frequency of watering. It's easy to blame lack of nutes or throw boosters at your plants.

Dont forget also that plants bulk up quite a bit the last couple weeks of flowering. So unless you're almost at harvest I think you'll see some good increase towards the end.

Thanks guys
I didnt get any in the end... Just using a bit more boost than the 5ml's... Upped it to 8ml and finish off with 10ml. If your interested, take a look at my Critical Kush grow! Im surprised how fast theyve come along!
