I grow some of the best weed in my state and I never use PK boosters
on auto's or photo's, thats my suggestion
gotta love ya dude
good advice my man
Thanks for the response. I guess I'll just keep feeding them as I have then!
just be sure it's not s simple nitrogen thing man, many, many, MANY growers have this very odd and incorrect belief that cannabis doesn't need nitrogen during flowering
which is 100% incorrect...
remember all the "green" growth is being driven by photosynthesis, and nitrogen is crucial for any of that to happen. regardless of when, so sativa and sative dom hybrids in particular will use a good amount of N, especially if they are stretching (as sativas do)
in fact it's arguable that when considering the amount of nutrients needed, throughout, nitrogen may be the most needed macro at virtually allstages of growth, the exception being the absolute end of flowering where almost all growth is slowed to a crawl.
but its all about the hydro companies...
and their greed..
but who can blame them?
In this world that's how it works, don't do your due diligence and you get taken.

AUTO GROWTH CYCLE:
Veg stage - 3-4 weeks
Flower Stage - 4-10 weeks - use bloom booster specific to each flower stage ((early, middle and late))

Yes you can use bloom boosters

yea, you could...
sooo you are saying that you believe that in order to grow cannabis correctly that you'll need three different types of "bloom buster" nutrients?
just so I can make sure I understand you correctly
or did you mean "could" in the literal sense?
cuz we could give them a whoooole lotta things, doesn't mean we should.
just try and remember that many growers are coming here for advice, so the difference between could and should are fairly significant.

you are hopefully aware of cation balances, and what happens when they are lopsided...
right?
that's always fun to try and chase a deficiency that isn't actually a deficiency..
annnnd considering how much cannabis uses calcium...

Bloom Booster help bud development, growth and taste. You can grow marijuana with using them but using them helps terpene and essential oil production and yields

For the most part I agree...HOWEVER.. when running dry organic ferts....a pk boost about a week prior to topdress at flowering and again a week beyore at 2nd topdrss....it gives em a little more kick, while waiting for the dry fertilizer to kick in....so while I agree it's not required, it does, for some, have a time and place. Just my thoyhhts
