Helloooo good friends

Has anyone here used these two nutrients? If so, at what week in flower with your autos and did it make a difference?
 
I use biotabs products but a couple of weeks after flowering starts I start using overdrive, just 25%dose working up to 100% in the last week. I find it makes a big difference
Indeed it does! I have been using it. Big bud and overdrive is the sheeeit
 
They both work well as bloom boosters during early and late phases of bloom (like other similar products). If these are the only 2 bloom supplements you use, you can't go wrong. [I have used Overdrive the last 3-4 weeks or later half of bloom, not just the last 2 weeks of bloom as Adv. Nutr. recommends].
 
I hate growing without Big Bud but like to add some P/K a week before flipping to flower or in the beginning of flower with autos as they need lots of extra P at that stage. After a couple weeks I switch to the BB for less N and P and higher levels of K and S which really pumps up the buds and trichs.

I've used OverDrive in side-by-side experiments and consider it one of the many snake oils AN sells as it's just a P/K with 1% Mg and has more P than K which is off balance for late stage flower. You're only going to see a real difference if you're low in P and K. Some Epsom salts with Bloom nutes will give you the same thing and you can spend the money you save on more seeds! :)

20 years using AN and stick to the 3-part with BB and some Rhino Skin in hydro as it is made to work with the pH Perfect stuff. In pots of Promix HP I just add some Diatomaceous Earth and green sand for a dash of silica. Any old calmag will do and of course some Epsom Salts. 4kg of Epsom at Costco for $10 but a small carton of it from the drug store will last for years. I have a kilo bag of 0-52-34 P/K and on of 0-0-62 K only to tweak my mixes with. Also add some Zn, ascorbic and citric acids, B-1 and chelated iron a couple times each grow to make sure they have those.

:peace:
