    Default Bloom activator nutrient question

    Hi all. I am not really sure what I’m doing but the bloom food I used last time was running low so I ordered another which arrived. This one is a very small concentrated bloom activator, which is just 2 drips into a litre of water. I’m not entirely sure If this stuff is all that I need to feed my plants.


    TA pro bloom “bloom activator”

    The old food I used successfully last time was a large 1l bottle of plant magic old timer organic “bloom 3-5-4”. 2-5ml per litre.

    I still have about quarter bottle left which I’m sure is enough to keep using. At the moment I’m alternating whst I give my plants.

    Any advice appreciated. I am feeding them most times I water but occasionally I just give them water.

    Plants seem to be doing good but maybe I’m giving them too much.

    I would use that activator as a additional supplement. And not replace your bloom source. Did you only use oldtimer bloom Last grow? No oldtimer grow?

    Any pictures?

    I will add some pics tonight

    Last time (and this time too) I used the old timer grow. I stopped with that when I switched them all to flowering. Good stuff!
    Was using tap water but recently started to give some fresh water too which may not be good. I used mostly only fresh water last time and it lead to bugs for a lot of them and poor quality. This may have just been the seeds I used though and also the time of year (summer!) Less chance of bugs around at this time of year I guess? . This time I’m only growing amsterdam genetics, as the most successful one last time was from them. Love their strains!!

    I would agree with V8 and use the bloom activator along with your regular nutes. What do you mean by fresh water?

    I think maybe he's talking about distilled water instead

    More likely rainwater,hence the bugs.

    Love to know what the ingredient list says. Most Bloom boosters are nothing but high K fetilizers, basically snake oil to sell a product that you are probably already adding.

    I’m not sure the ingredients to be honest. Chucked the box out. This is the stuff I’m using (occasionally)
