Hi!


Bloombastic 20-21 W/V (1ml./L.)


Nitrogen (N total) 0.11%
Phosphoric pentoxide 17.74%
Potassium Oxide 21.2%
Natrium Oxide 0.23%
Calcium Oxide 0.28%
Magnesium Oxide 0.6%
Sulfur Trioxide 0.67%



Atami Blossom Builder 20-32 W/W (0,5ml./L.)


Nitrogen (N total) 0.11%
Phosphoric pentoxide 19.51%
Pottasium oxide 32.98%
Natrium Oxide 0.23%
Calcium Oxide 0.28%
Magnesium Oxide 0.20%
Sulfur Trioxide 0.13%


Blossom Builder is 0,5ml./L. but you think I can be used at 1ml./L.? If I do It can be like Bloombastic or even better, and 3 times cheaper! :woohoo:

My feeding program would be:

week 4&5= Monster BloomZ 50-30
week 6&7= Blossom Builder (0,5ml or 1ml?) or Bloombastic?

I answer to myself lol :laughing:

Bloombastic in W/W is 0-14-15, BBL is 0-9-19

Therefore for late flowering BBL wins and x4 times cheaper.

IDK... I've ran many PK boosters over the years and nothing, absolutely nothing, has compared to the swell and trichome production I've seen when using Bloombastic. I as well have been curious about the Blossom Builder, but I never tried that one. I know Bloombastic has a ton of shit besides just PK.. lots of hormones and goodies the ladies seem to love. Bloombastic FTW!

If you're concerned with price of Bloombastic, check on eBay. I've the 1250ml bottles for as low as $135 shipped, that's almost $100 in savings plus no sales tax.

^^if you use boosters correctly it does not ruin a plant.. just need to adjust accordingly…

I think I'm going to use at week 4 Beastie BloomZ and the other weeks Blossom Builder, because Bloombastic 1,25L. is 120€ and Blossom 1L. 30€ and both as I said they have a very similar composition, only change the ratios.

With Bloombastic I always get +1gpw with coco, let's see with new nutes :)

KushTrees are you talking about the swell from cyco or big swell from soul synthetics?

used bloombastic for years in combo with over drive in soil had great rock hard flowers and burns clean without any chem taste with not much if any flush. Seemed to always let the natural terp file show through.

Now being in coco I havnt tried it been using canna a+b as base and a few different things due to standing rez now instead of daily hand watering.

Any thoughts on using bloombastic with canna as base in coco?

My experience with BloomBooster was I tried a sample and it seemed fine but for soil I think I like the thick sweet smell of the Bastic.

Im thinking BloomBooster would better for mixing rez

How do bloom boosters ruin plants ?

Bloom boosters 'boost' elements that don't need 'boosted' in the first place. It's the typical mentality of the cannabis grower: if 1 is good then 3 must be better (not my quote).

The average bloom formula turns plants yellow anyways so how would more P and K be of any benefit when the plants clearly don't like it in the first place?

^^what would happen if you reduced your base when applying boosters? Wouldn't that help with the yellowing you speak of?

I think that would make matters even worse considering PK boosters don't contain anything that promotes lush, healthy growth.

nonsense, lots of people lower the base and up the boost, myself included

Well it of course matters what NPK you're lowing and how much P and K you're adding back. The point is that P and K don't need 'boosted', even in the most balanced of formulas (e.g., 1-1-1 NPK ratio).

^^i for one use "boosters" for the other components making up the formula, not the npk, per se..there are alot of different extracts /vitamins / aminos for example, that actually make these said boosters,, boost..if it were simply npk, nobody would use them.. we would just raise our standard nutrient regimen.. always turning this shit into something its not, always trying to deter growers from doing anything u don't do… its very stale now

I've been down these roads before, I've done the side-by-sides, a fool and his money are soon parted :tiphat:.

then u fucked them up, just like you fucked up your connoisser/dynagro, side by side.. I've done side by sides that completely say the opposite,, kick rocks
 
Lots of folk thing bloom boosters are excessive.

I've had very good results without any premature yellowing using Bloombastic at between 1/4-1/2 strength for weeks 5 and 6. I'd never recommend using a bloom booster at full strength. There's that much truth to it - plants don't need NEARLY as much PK as is in most bloom boosters. They usually do need a trace element supplement partway through flower though IME. Bloombastic does that. I'm not sure if their other bloom booster does too.
