    Default PK boost

    I'm looking for a good PK booster for the last week of flower before flush. I hear that giving a dose stresses the plants a bit and encourages big, dense buds. I don't want to spend a bunch. Here are my finalists.

    Anyone have any opinion or advice?

    I'm defo a rank amateur but my understanding of pk is better to use early on flower help them stack on, I would've thought starting to use so late on would be too little too late.

    However hold on for someone who actually knows for sure

    No I'm using a lesser pk booster now. These are specifically to stress the plant at the end.

    Yep and yes. These are all very similar products. They range in size from 170g to 1kg. The general instructions are 1/2 tsp per gallon during the last 1 to 3 weeks of flower. 1kg will last for years, and I'm already using that line, so I'm leaning towards the koolbloom. I just hate coming off 20 bucks right now. Damned 200 dollar battery!!!

    I'd be inclined to use the same range if as most manufacturers claim they are made to work in harmony with other products of theirs, I suppose the thing is will it make a noticeable difference?

    Stressing the plants with p and k to give better returns is a myth

    These dont look very good for the end of flower. The ratios arnt the best, Opt for somthing with a higher amount of pottasium than phosphorus. Give the plants what they need at the back end of the grow. Dont force excessive amounts of phosphorus through them.

    forcing increased p-k at the very end also gives ya weed a terrible taste/burn
    week 4-9 'depending on indica/sativa flowering length' pump ya pk vs npk then water only 7-20 days

    doesn't decrease yield and a better quality at the end
    it's when ya girls swell up in mid flower they need pk, not at the end of swelling
