Potassium Sulfate As Bloom Booster?

I have some left over potassium sulfate (0-0-50) used for Dr. Who’s Terpinator formula. No more than 100g or so. To my understanding, P is primarily used during beginning to mid flowering for increasing bud sites and K is the element that causes increased weight (correct me if I’m wrong please). I’m wanting to make a bloom booster with the left over potassium sulfate since all the other late boosters seem to contain more P than K. I’m not a chemist, nor do I pretend to be lol. Anyone have any tips on how much to mix in a gallon of water and application rates? I’m growing in soil FYI.

PS: If you’re not a chemist either but have had good results using a particular K heavy booster, feel free to post it here along with pics if you got them.

The terp formula your using is doing the K boosting for you!

I've settled in on a formula I like for everyday bloom use out to the last 3 weeks or so...

227 grams of the K sulfate to 1.5 tsp of DB sugar.....This is a 6% solution of the K2SO4.

I use it at 10ml per feeding, every feeding.....Stop at 3 weeks to go, as K will reduce THC concentrations late.

This covers your early bloom needs and acts as you "booster". I do not increase P levels over my delivered ratio. Some very minor increase late for slow finishing strains can help that. BUT, like I said minor increase and maybe a tic of Ca too....

If you "feel" you "need" to increase P.....Simply water once at 4 weeks with a nice home made AACT bio tea. The increased bio activity will raise P availability enough to work for that just fine...(think of it as doing your own addition of "Mammoth P" without spending the stupid high price for it!).

Hows that?

That’s exactly what I needed! That terp formula has done wonders, she’s really frosty. Thanks again Doc.

Just to be sure anyone reading this understands...

That formula above is to 1 gallon of pure water Ro or Distilled will work fine.
