Hi ppl, i have just bought this product to add to the mix and give it a whirl, any1 used it?? The directions tell u how much 2 use, but not when to start using it, so i presume as soon as flowering starts? Any info on this product will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Harry, I don't know this Monster Bloom product, but I do know one thing...plants should receive nitrogen rich ferts up to and including at least the first week - ten days of flower. Most bloom boosters are P-K rich and shouldn't be used in early flower. With this in mind take a look at the specs on the bottle and you should be able to figure out more or less when its best indicated. I use bloom boosters only after week 3 on my faster flowering plants, week four for those that go 60+ days.

Or you can wait for someone who knows the product to answer

(wry pseudo-italian humor

)

are you in hydro Harry? Well I'll be darned, had you figured for a soil man

generally I beleive you start adding bloom boosters around week 3.

Yep...Blue and HOG nailed it!! I use bloom boosters 3-4 weeks into flowering...next run I'll add my ionic boost 2 weeks in and see if the plants benefit any...

Right, so add it at the same time as the Buddy, it is an extra booster, on top of the Vita-link bloom a and b, and Buddy, an extra.
the n-p-k on it is 0-50-30, the directions are
"Use 1 tsp(6g) for every gallon(19ltr) of liquid in your nutrient.
This one isnt a liquid, it is a soluble powder., hey, at least i can use my digi scales to measure it, lol. Im gonna check out the website, i'll post what i find.

u dont need monster bloom and buddy they are basically the same ,just like the booster by ionic that so quick uses ,which should be applied 3 weeks into flower for best results imo

Harry Gypsna · 12-02-2004, 01:37 AM

Grrr, that bloody growshop, he specifaically asked me if i use buddy, and said if i add that, which is what he does, blah blah, im sure u get the rest, i think me and him r gonna be having words tomorrow, dammit, lol

Hey harry...the pk seems really high...pretty much almost like kool bloom...I forgot what the exact readin was, but when I read it, I was like "holy hell" that's the reason I decided to go wit the ionic boost...the numbers are a li lmore comfortable to me...but anyways, I would recommend using 1/4 of what they recommend and see how your ladies like it...them boosters that read high like that can stress the plants to finish earlier than their suppose to, so watch out!!

Hi, thanks SQ
Hazey, ye it was a tenner for the tub which contains 130 grams, came with a handy little scoop for measuring it out too. Im going to the growshop in a bit, see if he'll swap it for summat else. he is a good bloke, so i cant see any reason y he wont, it aint been used, and there were no seals or anything on the tub that are broken. I think ill put another 5er to it and get a dope scope off him for harvest check.
