Advice on big buds?

[Grow46]

My first grow and I'm just curious about what I can add to increase bud growth. I've been using fox farms trio and stated using blackstrap molasses as well. There are 2 600w lights in a 4x4 tent, 7 plants approaching 3 months. Anything else I can be doing?

Patience? Hang in there? Looking good so far to me and looks like it will be well worth the wait. Green color looks a little strong but led lighting is wild when it comes to phone pictures. I was shooting my pictures through LED sunglasses. Walmart online 14 bucks. Mine clip over my script glasses.

You can also us a Bloom Booster Like Big Bud, Nirvana, Age Old Bloom......

Here we go with the Booster bullshit. The plant refused the shot.

Like pure said. I too favor the Advanced Nutrient nutes. Big bud, bud ignitor, carboload, B52, Overdrive always added.

Yep Most of them are giving 1st weeks of flower ,
However, the critical moment to use bud booster nutrients is during: Weeks 2, 3, and 4 of flowering
I could never really figure out which ones to use myself.

I add Nirvana from day one, Age Old Bloom in wk 2 and Big Bud starting wk 3 and finally Overdrive wk 6.

I cut Overdrive 2 wks out and flush 10 days out.

Is that a carb load?

I only use Carbo Loan in veg ..... I switch to unsulphered molasses in flower. I think the molasses gives more taste and flavor on the finished product.

I use floralicious really messes with PH though

I just follow the web site recs. A couple are used throughout flowering, one is first 2 weeks, one is last 2 weeks.

They have pretty in depth info on these nutes and additives on line, good description of how and why. Once you study it a bit, I just started adding them. Still playing around.

They have 3 or 4 different types of base nutes. I've been using the Sensi line, pute likes Connesuer line. Once you pick your base nutes, you start reading about additives.

The base nutes are divided up into two parts, A and B. One has more nitrogen, so you can use equal amounts, or you could use less of one and so forth. I don't use the Veg A & B, soil I use has enough to get through veg. Only cow bell during veg. Begin with nutes at switch to flower.

Any PGR’s in those boosters?

asking for a friend

 

[Bubba]

Some of Advanced Nutrients do I'm sure. I think Big Bud does. They don't use any "banned" PGRs, but just because they aren't banned doesn't mean they shouldn't be I guess.

Bubba

 

[Bubba]

I don't think the base nutes have them, it would be good to know. I don't recall them listing them, just saying "they used no banned ones," and I assume but don't know they use "non banned ones? I do not know.

Bubba

 

[Bubba]

Still reading but bud ignitor has no PGR. Still looking....big bud says they don't use

"Note: At Advanced Nutrients, we do not use paclobutrazol, daminozide, or any other banned plant growth regulators in our products"

Bubba

 

[Bubba]

Big bud doesn't list any PGR, does list L-Amino acids. It gives the above statement about banned PGRs.

^^^^Sounds like Bubba has it covered. Anything else you want to know...ask him.
