PK 13/14 is supposed to be a mineral 1 time boost. the idea is that by harvest those minerals will be long used up and burned up by the plant.

although i do understand an organic grower not wanting to use it.

they now have something called bioboost which acts to better the uptake of the normal flowering nutes, giving a boost that way. this stuff is biological and works well, just too expensive in my opinion.

but the point is the pk 13/14 will compact and harden your bud if used correctly and you will not notice it in the taste if you correctly flush the coco before harvest.

interesting about the pk 9/18 never heard of it before.

ah cool

didnt know u were a soil-pro

i never tried bio nova so i cant speak about its eficiency.

with Canna A+B - pk is not allways necesary.

i should add that as far as i know Canna makes the coco nutrient series out of distilled desert plants - and that doesnt sound very good either. :( hope to find some info that says the oposite somewhere!

it is very discussed, the issue about beeing organic nowadays and i respect it a lot. i prefeer my food organic so i know what it is all about

anyway i normally tell the experienced soil growers i know, that are thinking about switching to coco - not to do it - the reason is: once u controll one method and have outstanding results - there is no need for changing is there

i will again in the future grow in soil since i like the low maintenance of it. on the side of the eden project i have other coop grows with friends - soil and with organic aditives most of the time.

i dont want to upset any soil growers so i will refrase my post above that started all this

peace

Great starter info in both of those. The other details are readily at hand in the unofficial coco thread, or in the forum here.
