New Grower Any Advice On Booster Use

[Bobblunt]

Hi All,

I am looking for some advice, i have 4 Autoxtremes in soil that have just hit their 4 week mark, since week two i have slowly built up the veg nutes but keeping to half strength as the plants are doing really great as it is.

Now ..... when would i use Buddhas Tree pk 9:18 booster, if at all?

Any advice on whether at 5 weeks i should start adding flowering nutes alongside a lesser dose of veg like 1/8 strength?

Any help guys Thanks

With autos, I normally wait until vertical growth has pretty much halted before switching to flowering nutrients. It will delay your harvest time a little bit but help add as much growth as possible. When you do start adding flowering nutrients, start adding your PK booster at the same time but start it slowly, like 1/4 strength and work your way up to full strength. If you don't notice any burn at all at 1/4 strength then move to 1/2 strength on the next feeding and so on. DP breeds BIG plants, you should be able to get to full strength with their autos pretty easily.

Thanks A4! Some pretty valuable advice there, I appreciate it! Sure I know what you are saying, DP plants are vigorous growers all 4 are super healthy and averaging around 5cm growth every 24 hrs, they are dank smelling monsters, loving Dutch Passion so far! Only problem is 4 in 15l pots in my 1.2x1.2x2.0 grow tent are pretty much filling the tent! Wow!

Would you you add a 1/8 strength of veg nutes to each watering alongside flower and booster as well or?

Thanks A4!

No, once I switch to bloom nutrients I cut out the veg. Normally your bloom nutrients are going to have enough N to sustain your plant. Too much N promotes leaf growth and retards flowering.
