mate dutch pro explode is a bloom stimulator not a p/k booster,

let me explain, a bloom stimulator helps transport the nutrients around the plant at faster rates and speeds up the process of the plant wanting more food, because your not giving the plant extra food the leaves are yellowing cause she is drawing from her reserves

you need to use that bloom stimulator alongside a p/k booster ill give you some examples

canna boost= bloom stim
canna pk13/14

advanced nutrients bud candy = bloom stim
hammer head = pk booster

vitalinkmax biopac = bloom stim
vitalink buddy = pk booster

they need to be used in combination with each other and by the way dont get hammerhead its shit the ratios are whack get pk 13/14 it has higher ratio or use what i use which is superior potash

if you drop the dutch pro explode for hammerhead all you are doing is switching the problem, id stick with the dutch pro but get a decent pk booster to compliment it and maybe increase your feed in the meantime

hope this helps

Sorry mate but im pretty sure that dutch pro explode acts as a bloom stim and a pk booster thats why you use it all the way throguh the flower just at different rates

no need to appologise mate as i checked up before i made the post

info taken from ducth pro website

Explodeis the pre-eminently bloom stimulator, to give the plant in full bloom all the nutrients it needs in this phase. This bloom stimulator, consisting of several micronutrients, vitamins and acids, gives the plant an explosive hardening of the tops. The plant will have more resistance against diseases by administering

a bloom stimulator will only work if you have enough n-p-k nutrients to keep up with the plants requirements

to explain in more detail a bloom stimulator is the equivalent of giving a person steroids, when a person takes steriods it keeps there receptors open for longer which enables them to put on mass, if the receptors are open but there is no extra carbohydrates then you cant build mass, ( if you chnage carbohydrates for n-p-k its the same principal with plants)

i tried to look deeper into why they proclaim it to do this and find the n-p-k ratio for dutch pros blooming formula but i couldnt find it, im guessing thier bloom formula might be higher in n-p-k ratio hence why the added dutch pro explode is given for support to transport the nutrients around the plants at a higher rate

hope this helps

Thanks for you post, very educational, im a first time grower mentord by a friend, he is insisting to use PK13/14 as ive been using Canna range of Nutes,
I wanted to use canna boost, but i couldnt afford it, but the guy at the hydro shop managed to talk me into buying some Dutch PRO Explode. he told me that i dont need to buy PK13/14 as its part of the explode.. you seem like you know what you talking about, but have you used this yourself?.. if so i will be addiing PK13/14 to my next barrel, but as a firstime grower ive had problems with food/nutes like nuteburn from over feeding, so last thing i wanna do is ADD MORE nutes to my tank and raise the EC more, if i dont need it if you get me?..

Thanks... P.S maybe you could advise, my ec is now at around 1.7 and im in week 4 flowering, and its stable as the tank emptys, ive been told that if the plants are eating lots, the EC will lower, and if there not eating enough the EC will increase, so you saying that Explode should cause my plants to eat more?... i dropped some explode in and got yellow leaves... :L

Safe, Carter
