using pk13/14 with organic grow/bloom nute?

I just picked up some biobizz grow and bloom and now i need a pk bloom enhancer. i noticed that biobizz is a little lite in the pk department....

would a pk13/14 bloom additive have a negative effect if mixed with organic bloom/grow liquid nutes? would it kill or disable living biological bacteria in the soil? I thought about getting a bottle of humboltd ginormous pk. it is biodegradable and free of hormones but not organic. aslo says it's derived from natural cheletes(whatever that is) not synthetic.

what do you guys think? should i avoid a pk that is not organic?

well u can use it , BUT imho PK13/14 messes up the taste even with flushing.

After having usezd it for 5 years i will never use it again.

i just added organic npk pellets 6-4-11 and some bone meal on top and i had even better buds.

So i think those pk boosters aren't so great and mess with the taste

why do people buy p/k boosters when you can just add more P and K individually? Its the same things just not in one bottle...

well iadded p and k lmanually outdoors and i had much bigger buds on that plant , than on the plants where i used pk13/14 , taste was much much better too
 
Great Post i have thought this same thing about PK13/14. Ruins the taste of anything its been used on even after a good flush.Its highly acidic and sure it may work but i cant say i have seen a major difference. They may BLOOM additive now and another organic BOOST that is molassas mainly.

Haaaa so i am not alone then , i fucking flusehd my plants 4 weeks lol still that pk13/14 taste :(

i am sticking with solids this year i put it on the top soil 3 weeks before flowering so it will be working by then and the plants have a steady supply of nutes they can eat at their own pace.

For the plants at my home i will try bio bizz I'll feed once per week and also give them topmax and bio heaven

i stopped using pk13/14 becouse of the taste. i now use bat guano through weeks 5/6 flowering.15 ml. high p bat guano top dressed in 3 gal pots. buds are tastey with no chemy taste. not so sure of the ecological impact of harvesting guanos but i did read that ordinary bat caves can have tons of guano in it.
