Liquid and powder koolbloom work good, still have around and use them sometimes.
AN bigbud liquid is a great product for a sh!tty price, I will only buy if heavily discounted (like half off).
Last couple runs I have been using the fox farm powders. If you use them carefully and flush good they produce well in size and quality.
In the end whatever works best in your style go with.

Bloombastic is designed to be used with any base nutes.
I dont use AN though, so i couldn't say for sure.
I would think it would be fine. If your worried about it just use less of your base nutes.
Trust me, it's worth trying.

thanks for the response
heres a quote from YosemiteSam. "yep...big bud and overdrive are both PK boosters.
I almost hate myself for saying this but my guess would be you are gonna be better off sticking with big bud and overdrive. It sucks that AN does not just put everything you need in an A/B formula (they easily could). But they leave out shit just to sell additives. So if you got to use that line their additives probably are best balanced for their base nutes...just don't buy into how much you need."

i dont know maybe i should just say fuck it and try it out and see what happens
Another vote for bloombastic. Was using bcuzz bloom stimulator, diamond nectar, sweet and Kb powder for almost two years along with maxibloom. Last run with maxibloom and bloombastic was way better on all levels and plus my buds barely shrank after a 5 day hang. Sticking with bloombastic!

I think it depends If your strain can handle it ive use cheap p13/14 and canna boost with superb results.ive used shooting powder with excellant results adwell,but go easy on them pk is good at 1.5 ml a litre for 4 days .shooting powder as instructions say but keep base feed low ec 10 once shooting powder is added it rises fast so flush weekly.imgoing to try pk 9/18 soon See If advanced are good as well .izzy

I saw something in my garden center and was wondering if it would be a suitable "bloom booster." It's called Garden Elements Bud and Bloom, it is a 10-52-8, and is made of Potassium and Ammonium Phosphate, with some other things. It recommends 1 tsp/gallon water. I put all this up there because I can't find any info on the internet about this product (there was a website on the can for a ingredient origin page, but I didn't buy it). So would this be a suitable booster? If so, when would be a good time to try using it if feeding to autos? I use a half strength fox farm schedule with molasses at different intervals.
Any help is appreciated.

After doing some reading and checking ingredients, it looks like this product has the exact same ingredients and a pretty close analysis as both Fox Farm's Open Sesame and Cha Ching. I am going to give this shit a try, at 10 bucks for 1.5 pounds vs. 60 for 2 pounds I think it will be worth giving a shot. I have 2 autos at 1.5 weeks of flower, so I will start on the next feed, using 1/4 tsp per gallon.

I like Bloombastic at 1-2mL/Gal starting once I start seeing flower formation. This is on top of micro/bloom (head recipe).
I get much larger colas using this boosters vs. others I've compared it against. (Hesi pk 13/14, koolbloom dry, koolbloom liquid).
When using BloomBastic I have to be ready for falling colas come week 5-6 when normally I wouldn't need to support until the very final weeks.
I've seen no reduction in quality or taste when using at these amounts in coco.
Shit works...and is hardly expensive when you consider the minimal dosage required.

FYI- Bloombastic has clay in it for a carrier which is not good for water culture type systems, drip systems, ect. Clay does not dissolve in water....if you take a clear container and mix it up and then wait for a few hours you will see the clay separate and laying at the bottom of the container. Not exactly the characteristics of a "top shelf" product by my standards anyhow.......I know Koolbloom liquid or powder does not do that and is completely soluble in water which is very important if your using deep water culture for example.
This product is better suited for soil and soiless growing methods IMO.
It does however work pretty well, but how well will depend on what type of system your using, and for the record, have gotten as good results using liquid and powder koolbloom combo from GH.....never really compared the pricing but I would assume the GH product is cheaper or comparable in price but I think it would be only fair to mention that Bloombastic is a very concentrated product which makes it a good value in my book, or at least a fair priced one......
Another good combo booster out there is Snow Storm Ultra and Gravity, used together will get you a very large increase in final yields.......hard to beat this combo for sure!
MOAB and just about any PK13/14 product together makes for a mean finish as well.
Bottom line is your environment and type of growing methods will always determine which products will give the most bang for your buck.......and be "the best".....

Interesting.. I use bloombastic with 3mm dripper tubing with no clogging issues. Perhaps it's settling in my barrel before it gets a chance to cause any clogging problems, but I certainly still reap the benefits of using it. I see a mass difference within 3-4 days of first using it.
Careful with the Gravity.. anytime I've used it it totally beasterizes my crop. Makes everything look hairy and significantly reduces quality in my opinion. I've got a few friends who still use it for density, but in very minimal doses.. like 1mL/Gal watered in once or twice. Anything more and the stuff looks like trash in my opinion.
Just my 2c..
