Hi there I'm currently growing 2 cheese (have a diary also with these plants)
Iv got them in 15ltr pots in coco , I veged them for over 6 weeks and they are now nearly entering there 4th week flower !!

I'm feeding them 20ml canna A and 20ml canna B, per 5ltr water !! (This is the max dosage that the canna bottles say, touch wood iv had no problems at all.

I have fed them this since veg... They are now drinking 5ltr of nutrient mix each !! Every 2 days !!

Iv now added to the 5ltr nutrient mix 10ml of canna boost they have been having this approx 2 weeks.
I was reading the label on the boost and it says 40ml per 10ltr water (obviously iv been giving them 20ml per 5)

It also says for extra flowering strengh use 40ml per 10ltr of water !!!!!!

Could I mess up if I add the extra 10ml of boost ????? If they are on the max nutrients then correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't they be on max boost too ????

Well iv been feeding them for the last few days and I'm giving 20ml A, 20ml B, 20ml Boost and started with 2ml PK13/14 and they been fine !! Iv now upped the PK13/14 to 3ml and the next feed will be 4ml and so on until I get to 6ml then ill stop the PK13/14 as it says only use for a week !!
So far the plants have no signs of damage or stress and are actually filling out the buds quite a bit now :-)

I thought boost was all just complex carbs for better fruit production with very little NPK rating, so I can't see u fully wiping them out.

Always air on the side of caution though mate

the canna boost is safe to use at full dose its just carbs etc but as jimmy says cut the pk down no more than 2ml a litre i only ever use 1ml per litre and if you using the whole canna range just use the pk as they say on the web site they know what they are on about,

and u could cut back to 30ml A+B on feed and same result, just full strength the boost and as stated with the PK 13/14

boost accelerator in my experience doesn't seem to bring the food level up, PK 13/14 will do that, boost accelerator is nothing more than a mollasses with food colouring....although it works well there are cheaper alternatives like Humboldt's Honey Hydro (for hydro) or Humboldt Honey ES for pots (not drip feeding)

Make sure u give a good flush from time to time in coco,to wash the salts
Out of ur medium,especially if ur feeds are strong

Besides amount stated on bottle there is a good chart/feeding guide on canna's website.
Not sure if I'm aloud to link to site but just put in few settings and gives you a chart for light or heavy feed quite handy as a baseline i printed both as a reference :)
