Pk 9/18 vs pk 13/14

I've never used it but I wonder if using twice the amount will increase yields by 80%.

"Buddhas tree is the only PK 9-18 soluble solution currently available on the market, created in the UK by a company who have one of the top four chemists in the world working with them who formulates fertilisers for many of the worlds record breaking food crop producers. They have produced this formula that promises to increase yield by at least 40%."

It depends on what you're trying to do with it.

I use PK 13/14 to do the same PK bump 4 weeks before harvest that Canna does with their coco line. I've never done a side-by-side, I just rip off their ratios because they have a good reputation and it's been working for me.

I also use it just as a minor source of P in my regular veg and bloom juice. I've got a GH Micro clone for N, seaweed extract for K, and then I use the PK 13/14 to get the P where I want it. Then add calmag, epsom salts, potassium silicate, a pH adjuster, Floralicious plus for the stink, and powdered barley malt for a root enzyme. After that, all that's left after that is to switch to Jacks because I somehow fell into as many bottles as running AN's full line.

The p/k 9/18 is what I'd want for pot. The other is better for tomatoes. Overuse of P especially after the stretch is what leads to that 'chem' taste and I never get that using Big Bud which is 0-15-35, 10%S etc over the usual PK bloom boosters. I do have the p/k 13/14 and use a bit at the flip but just BB afterwards. Also have straight K that I will use along with Epsom Salts while lightly feeding Lucas Formula style if I think they need it. Not the full Lucas but a ratio 0f 0-1-2 of my 3-part hydro nutes. After mid flower I like to see fan leaves fading as long as it's not sudden and fast so I know the plants aren't overloaded with nutes.

:peace:
