pk 13/14

[skotty]

when is the best time to use pk13/14 or any pk boosters for that fact

as you know certain strains will start flowering at different times and some will flower longer than others, so what is the best time to add the pk boost to your plants ??

some say when the hairs are just froming into buds while others will say 3 weeks before harvest

but what is the proper way to use these products

 

[sci-fi]

I always hit my plants with pk booster's week 5 one feed, and week 6 one feed.

thanks for the reply mate, i thought more people may of had more input on their methods of pk13/14

 

[War Mongery]

I usually put it in three weeks before flushing but I used PK13/14 for five weeks on my Onyx grow and that was a mega yield mate!

thats the thing i cant detrmine wether to use it for a longer period or just hit them for 1 week, but which week

i guess its gonna have to be a find out for myself job

cheers

I used it for weeks 2-5, after I stopped i developed a PK deffic. I think it was becaouse i used it to long. I will use it for only 1 week starting week 3. Only one plant had a problem the others were fine. Like said before its trail and error.

 

[Hammerhead]

I used it longer then that. Im using Bat Guano in a tea it's High in PK.

I use Hydroplex week 4 and Top Booster week 5. I've heard if you run these too long your flowers will finish before they're really done...

 

[skotty]

ok for anybody whos interested i think i found a pretty good answer to my question and hopefully this will help people if they encounter the same problem

i grow in grodan and i just ended my pk 13/14 supplements one one of my strains...started her very early as she has amazingly fast formations...she got a dose at 8ml's per gallon of pk from day 13 to day 22....other strains not quite, start my sourdubble (6 mils per) at day 15 and will feed for about 7 waterings....this will stretch to about two weeks as she is only taking water every other day...just slowly starting to dial it back in as i just recently returned to hydro....have been thinking about this very question lately...wondering if anyone can tell me: does using pk the entire flower cycle affect the taste of finished product? i dont have a reason to think it does, but i know a grower who tends beautiful gardens, uses it from start of flowering to flush...everything is healthy, herb is beautiful, but a number of strains all have a similiar taste underneath....and the pk is the biggest diff between our regimens...

 

[skotty]

i seem to get the idea that its best to start off low and work your way up with the amounts of pk like the hesi regime above

the reason for this is your building up the amount of p and k in the res and lowering the amount of nitrogen, plants dont use much nitrogen in flower mainly veg so by de-creasing the n and replacing with pk you gotta be onto a winner, i think thats the added benifit of growing hydro is that you can pretty much dictate what the plant has to feed

i think with a proper flush then everything will be all good

ditch the pk 13/14 and get some potash and use it from 2nd week of flower up untill chop . run it alone side headmasta .

 

[skotty]

headmasta is a pk booster aint it??

 

[cheesey]

headmasta is a pk booster aint it??

sort of . its a cheaper canna boost . works better you get more for your money . and only use 1ml per ltr unlike canna waterdown boost 3 to 4 ml a ltr .

 

[Greyskull]

sub!!!!
weeks 3-6 (days 15-42) pump that shit up with the pk13/14!
i like to cycle it up and down peaking in the middle weeks 4 & 5...

pretty sure however you handle it though its gonna come out 1. stellar, & 2. kick ass

 

[Greyskull]

sounds like headmasta & bloombastic are similiar

 

[cheesey]

nope headmasta is nothing like doombasic . its more like canna boost

 

[Greyskull]

i havenet used either headmasta or bloombastic, but i love me some boost.

ill have to check into headmasta as boost is pretty pricey i wouldnt mind the same results for a little less coin
