These people who are advising on using them together obviously didn't read the bottles.
PK booster for middle of flower and finisher (overdrive) at the end. If your using a bloom food then that'll be used from true flower till flush.

So if you have a 10 week flower you would have....
weeks 1-2/3 normal grow feed routine on 12/12 till flowers show
Weeks 3-4 bloom foods (I start adding sensizyme from here also)
Weeks 4-6/7bloom foods and PK boost
Weeks 7 bloom food & finisher at 1/2 dose (I would stop the sensizyme here)
Weeks 8-9 full dose finisher
Week 9/10 flush with plain water.

Alzy, if the back of the bottle is so correct, then why use overdrive for three weeks instead of two like AN advise? same as canna ph 13/14 it says use it for one week, do you do this as well? i know i dont... lol

anyway, im using buddhas tree pk 9-18 in some plants and hammerhead in others and both of those are meant to be used from about two weeks of flower right up till flush mate....

Pk 13/14 is for catching buds when they start popping and fattening up imo, so yes mid to l8 flower, if you ever had diff branded pk13/14 lots have diff instructions on them some say 1 week some more etc, but all usually mid to l8 flowering like you say.

Come on IJ, you've been in my diarys, the MB and ToB are not PK 9-18...... More PK 30-50. So only need a few feeds for a few weeks over the course of the mid flower cycle, And I did mention using OD at 1/2 strength for the first week......

wasn't having a dig mate, was just pointing out that most of what is said on the back of bottles doesn't work in real life situations as most of us know from experience.. sorry if it came across any other way fella, not the intention at all.. was my poor attempt at being funny and getting a point across at the same time lol

no offense intended dude.. really dont think there is a right or wrong way to do things, just find what works best for you through trail and error and you wont go far wrong imo..

Well we both must have a sad, sour sense of humour. My reply was ment to be taken in jest as well. No bad feelings !
I agree what ya saying about the bottles though, but they also state its a guideline.
(I feel like a sales man lol)
The thing about trial and error is there are to many errors. Ahhhh
Lol
Gotta take all the good bits from all the advise and try and make it work for you and what ya doing.
