What can give Lucas that extra KICK?

[dj_greenthumb]

Running Lucas Formula and I really like how good it is considering how simple it is. Just wondering though if any of you have added something closer to the end to really fatten up the buds? I want monster size and great density!!!

Any other general tips for fat buds are much appreciated as well!

Kool bloom powder half strength in week 6.

Exactly how I do it

 

[dj_greenthumb]

Why only half strength?

Just week 6 or from week 6 until flush?

Thanks!

i use a bit of the powder cha ching

 

[Guest 18340]

Powder KB is pretty strong and 1/2 strength is usually enough. Try working your way up from 1/2 strength if you like, just watch for signs of stress or burning.
I should've been clearer; I use powder KB for the last week before the final two week flush.
So week 6 on an 8 week strain, week 7 on a 9 week strain etc...

Thanks! Since I'm already with GH products, might as well stick with them and try Kool Bloom!

i just switched from 6/9 to maxibloom a couple weeks ago.

im throwing in:
floralicious+ @ 1ml/gal
liquid koolbloom @ 5ml/gal
powder koolbloom @ 1/4tsp/gal

***Kudos to Evlme2 for turning me on to Maxibloom***

A bigger boot with a steel toe will give him that extra kick.

Kool Bloom powder gets added here 3 weeks before harvest. The amount that I give depends on strain but half dose is normal.

 

[Hydro-Soil]

If'n yer interested in the kick without the nitrogen... try 32ml of GH Flora - Bloom.
I've read the numbers that Gr3atfulH3ad pulled up on that and it's nearly the same as powdered Kool Bloom.

Bitchin!

Stay Safe!

What's the lucas ratio mix for that? I haven't seen that one yet...

 

[krunchbubble]

when i ran Lucas, i bumped it up to 10 ml micro and 15ml bloom and it greatly increased bud size over the 6/9, no pk booster needed.....

 

[Ichabod Crane]

Krunch was that in coco.

 

[RetroGrow]

I also add Florilicious+ throughout and Bloombastic in flower.
Florilicious+ makes a great foliar spray also. It's kind of like a supercharged Liquid Karma. Also use Canna's version of triacontanol, "Boost", which makes them finish faster.

Advanced Nutrients Big Bud in weeks 3, 4 and Overdrive in 5,6 of bloom in an 8 weeker!

i would never go with anything but H@G for coco, had my best results and the yields were fucking ridiculous!!

one could make the argument that 'bumping' the bloom was your PK booster as GH Flora Bloom is a 0-5-4

Powder KB is pretty strong and 1/2 strength is usually enough. Try working your way up from 1/2 strength if you like, just watch for signs of stress or burning.
I should've been clearer; I use powder KB for the last week before the final two week flush.
So week 6 on an 8 week strain, week 7 on a 9 week strain etc...

FWIW

GH KoolBloom Powder (2-45-28) (NH4)2% Mg1% S1.5%
@1g/Gal
N 5
P 52
K 61
Mg 3
S 4
Derived from: Potassium Phosphate, Ammonium Phosphate, Ammonium Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, Potassium Sulfate.

(If we look at this, there is almost no N, so both ingredients with Ammonium are in very minute amounts, same could be said for S. The product is Potassium Phosphate and 'anti clumping/bulking' agent.)


I use 0.75-1.0g/Gal.

FWIW, what ive observed is a large Δ change in the PK is what gives the most noticeable immediate effects.

If you take the P from 100 to 130, that is only a 30% increase.
If you take it from 50 to 100, that is a 100% increase!

There is no 'extra kick' to Lucas, Lucas is KISS.
