Canna Boost Ingredients ?

There's no "might".
It definitely contains triacontanol, which is the main ingredient.

one of my top 3 fav additives....works insane bro!!! just keep the liquid out of any light or it will clump up and go bad....
If you order the 5 gallon amount call the lady owner and make sure its on stock...I've recieved a few of my orders Late...Its just like Liquid Light from DM execept cheaper better and not as deadly...I spray it on everything from seedlings to huge plants..never in flowering though...the blue spray can stain so be careful

I was using growek monster bloom, which i was told has the exact same active ingrdients as boost by the guy in the hydro store. It was the best additive i ever used and only ran out a few weeks ago. Can't find a site that sells it, so might have to go back to the hydrostore. Though, i'd like to check it does actually have this triacontonal in it first.
Hi BerndV, i have a EU bottle of Cannas PK 13/14 and its
guaranteed analysis is 13% P2O5 and 14% K2O
at 1.5 ml/L adds 0 - 56 - 116 ppm so we still get the optimum 1:2 ratio like you said, but i think thats only beneficial for max 2/3rd of bloom, after that something like Hammerhead & MOAB to get a good 1:3 ratio for late bloom works best in coco peace

all the places you guys have found are wildly over priced. 5 grams will last you a long time! just mix with polysorbate 20

Adding tricontanol to the soil is not going to give u any big results.
Cannaboost is 0-0.1-0.1 so its dammmm weak on the makro nutrients - and yes no aminos.
Its fun tho i have been trying to understand there boost but i stop using it 4 years ago and to this day i keep pumping out massiv buds
because i have become a better grower and i found out that u need to spend alot of time if u want succces every time
I really feel this product is more fore pepol that had a bad grow and want a solution and canna has a botte that will help - maby
If u want Tricontanol look into Calcium 25 - thats the stuff u want.

so in theory could we make up a litre of homemade canna boost using Triacontanol, humic/ fulvic aicd, and mollases? or does it not even contain these?
this website has great info on how to make a concentrat with Triacontanol

no one knows and no one ever will most likely.
we can guess all we want, maybe even get 99% of it right, but for sure, we will never know.
obviously, by there pricing, as canna doesn't make many products.. them knowing what goes into it, dictated the pricing. they know what they were after making it, and seems they feel confident by the reflection of pricing. Let's all be honest, canna is not AN with 30 additives, they focus on a couple products and you are assured a good product when you buy something from them..
that's not to say other things are shit.. hell I'm sure some people could outgrow canna with a $10 bag of ferts from home depot, and media from home depot too.. but canna is a trust worthy company if you buy them or not..
I'll tell you there watered down compared to H&G. but talking to my "guru", and discussing things, swans are bad energy.. canna, better energy.. ( take it for what you want.. I tested my "guru" with like 12 products I've used and had laying around.. knew everything about it looking at the bottle... it was actually kinda mindblowing ) ok, bringing the "guru" to the hydro store next time to show them the boost

I think the tria in boost comes from alfalfa and boost smells sweet almost a little bit like molasses. I just did a fermented plant extract with em-1 alfalfa and molasses and it look similar to boost but does separate when left sitting. Boost on the other hand stays evenly mixed all of the time. I think I will add more alfalfa next time to try and get a more consistent mix.

You are incredibly stubborn and wrong again. The active ingredient is Triacontanol whether or not you want to believe it. You are just spreading disinformation for unknown reasons. You have no credibility. You can neg rep all my posts. Just shows what a douche you are. You are completely clueless on this subject, and everyone knows it.

ok that seems like a good idea, im going to try brew some [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]alfalfa in concentrate form, and some fulvic acid and fill up a litre bottle with mollases, then il have a concentrated botttle that will probably be very similar to boost at a fraction of the price!
gota be worth a try! il let u know how it turns out!

IBA is a plant hormone in the auxin family and is an ingredient in many commercial horticultural plant rooting products. Rooting hormone.
B vitamins=Superthrive
Triacontanol is a fatty alcohol of the general formula C30H62O, also known as melissyl alcohol or myricyl alcohol. It is found in plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax. Triacontanol is a growth stimulant for many plants, including cannabis. It is the main ingredient that makes "boost" what it is.

thanks retro very enlightening. any one know of the cheapeast source of Triacontanol in the UK? im gona have a go at making my own up. 2grms of powder on ebay is £8.00 not sure if thats good value or not
Yes, Ebay is your best bet.
Note: Triacontanol is not soluble in water.
This is how you put it into solution for drenching or foliar spray:

Sorry if repost. You need polysorbate 20.
There is also a video on U-Tube:

Here's where you get a kit on Ebay:

Just a few questions...
Is this something you would just add to your nutes, or do you use this as a foliar?
Would using molasses or anything else be beneficial if added to your nutes? I usually make a 5 gal nute solution at a time.
At what phase in the plant cycle would you use this, just a certain portion of flower, or throughout veg as well?
Interesting info.
