cannaboost?

[lid]

So i was looking over canna nute charts and it says to use 15 ml per gal of there boost during 12/12. Well this stuff is like $100.00 u.s per L.!! Do other people use there full line of nutes including there boost? What do you guys think about it? What if i leave it out? Has anybody else? Thanks in advance for any advice you guys got.

I use 10ml per gallon. I've done 2 runs with it and 1 without. The runs with it turned out slightly better.

 

[lid]

did you run it every week of 12/12 like they suggest?

 

[Calimed]

Yep, I started using it when stretching was done until flush.

i run the whole canna line and i love it. never grown without the boost but my friends comment all the time how frosty and tasty my nugs are so i think it helps….IMO 15ml/gal is a wack amount way to much. i run it at 5 ml/gal for the 2-3 weeks of flower then up to 8 ml for a week or two then i max out at 10ml/gal till the final 2 "flushings" (i dont flush).

theres a thread by hazy lady you might want to check out...
its also used by great growers such as dutchgrown & zoolander... they can tell a difference.

i pretty much wont bloom without it...
i should probably try it at full strength (or even as a foliar as they suggest.....) i might like it even more.

i can tell a difference when using boost - your flowers will show faster, they will be more resinous, they will really taste better, and you will yeild a little more. fact.

of course it really helps that your shit is already dialed in... if your shit is not rocking already save the money dial your room & nutes in, then add the boost. my opinion anyways.... good luck

great post, very true that, before wasting any money on any boosters or flowering stimulator etc unless you have dialed your room in otherwise fully. air circulation, enough light, the correct ec level for your strain, medium, temp and rh all come first. when all that is dialed in as good as poss, then it's time to start adding the expensive additives of your choice.

personally i go through phases, some times i'm using boost and even biogreen or pk 13/14 all on top of A+B and zym product. other times i'm doing whole flowering runs with nothing but A+B and zym. i'm always sing a zym product as i re use my coco 3 or 4 times. when looking purely at yield i some times find it hard to see any difference from adding boosters. when it comes to taste i honestly haven't paid it that much attention. but with such glowing references i might well incorporate cannaboost in my nutrient solution again in the future.

peace

Hey I cant find it now, but there is a thread/journal where a guy was hand watering plants in coco. He did one plant with Canna Boost one with Blackstrap molassas (spelling?) one with both Boost and molassas and one with no additive.

The Canna boost produced bigger buds more frost and he said the taste was amazing. In second place if I remember was the 1/2 boost 1/2 molassas followed by just molassas then in last was nothing.

So he showed that it does help, he didnt do it at full strength he did it at like 10 or 8 ml per gallon. I use it now at full strengh I like it so far, its not for the penny pinchers tho..the worse part is I hand water to waste so I just poor it down the sink too

 

[Greyskull]

if you are using boost and your room is dialed, you can expect to yeild at least an extra 14grams, which will provide the extra means to cover the cost of the Boost

Thank you for the information everyone I went ahead and picked up there whole line. I'm going to be running (3) 4x4 tables (coco beds) hand waterd drain to waste. How many gal. on average of nutes do u think i will go through per wk? Its going to be SOG with just enough veg to establish roots (less than a wk).

I am about to start running BioCanna's BioBoost. According to Canna, BioBoost and Boost Accelerator only differ in that the BioBoost does not contain any additional nutrients or fertilizers.

I chose the BioBoost not because it was a good $20 cheaper, but also because I am bad about burning my plants late in bloom with too much ferts.

My plan is to start using it on maybe 8 of my plants after the stretch completes and flowers start forming. Around day 20 in flowering. I also plan on doing a 10 day, every other feeding, addition of 4ml PK 13/14 during this time so I'm running it light at 4ml/gallon to start. I plan on working up to 10ml per gallon at some point, but I hope that 8ml per gallon would be fine.

I agree, that it is very expensive, and they don't even bother to sell it in a gallon or 5L. By my calculations, even at 8ml/gallon for all of flowering one liter would cover about 6 plants on a 9 week schedule.

I do 12 plants on a 10 week schedule, so 2 liters of the stuff is a bit much for my wallet right now... but when I consider It only adds like another $0.10 per harvested gram to run it then I think that even at the high price, if what I hear is true, it's worth every penny on harvest day.

Im way curious if your gonna run a pk boost more that the pk 13/14 canna says. I am trying the canna for the first time rite now and im really wondering if its worth it? I have been running a weird combo of GH, and a few additions i have come up with lately and it works great! I am still going to use some Kool bloom with the canna cause i dont feel like its enought pk without the kool bloom. Way stoked to see how you turn out!

 

[Greyskull]

ive used the pk13/14 only week 3, only week 6, weeks 3 & 6, and weeks 3-6... i feel like i got the best results using it (at about 50%) weeks 3-6. stellar results. pk13/14 is super cheap ($20 per L) and you dont need to add too much, so that L will last for a while even when using 100G water per week.

imo you wont need the koolbloom + pk13/14 simultaneously... one or the other as they are both pretty much the same thing = PK blasters (2-48-28/0-10-10 & 0-13-14)

Hey anyone, This might be a bit off topic but I just started using the Rhizotonic from advice given me from Bulldog and Dutchgrown. The boost; can I use it with MY nutes? I use B-Cuzz A&B hydro and am in 1st coco run right now. Boost (as lid stated) is really expensive and I do not want to buy any of it if I can't use it with my nutes.
Also, to stay on topic. Does it REALLY do what it says it does? I did some reading on it and Canna claims that boost will in fact boost/speed things up? Or is it just a bloom booster? As in bigger buds? I use the b-cuzz bloom booster, and only use it for 7-10 days right before I start flush....and that seems to only pack on a bit more tighter of a bud. What exactly does the Boost do?
Thanks and sorry for going a bit off topic in your thread lid.

puff puff pass

 

[Greyskull]

you can use boost with any nutrient regime...

i dont use it full strngth but i have seen flowers form faster heavier and they smoked better to me than when i hadnt used boost. its not really a bloom booster, its more of an enhancer. if you get great results without using boost and your room is dialed, using boost will impress you further

not sure if you're aware but the dude who formulated bcuzz also formulated canna

you need to read thru hazy adys threrad to get the full gist
