Big Bud usage - little help?

I would like your opinion on when to add Big Bud and for how long. Heard really good things about Big Bud and want to pump 'dem up as much as I can but still give preference to quality! Here is some background info..

I use B'cuzz Bio-NRG Grow, Bloom, Bloom stim, and Flavor products. B'cuzz promotes using equal parts grow and bloom throughout flower. Do you agree with that?

I recently decided on Big Bud powder for my bloom booster. I am at day 35 and will be changing the rez on day 36.

I am almost out of the B'cuzz Bloom stim and just received Canna Boost Accelerator. Any advice for that? Forego buying more B'cuzz Bloom stim and use the Canna Boost for a stimulator?

I keep a 20 gallon rez recirculating drip feed, feed once a day so far. I change it weekly. I also add Pro-Tekt, a silicate, and Inoculaid, a photosynthetic beneficial microorganism product. pH to 6.0 and plants seem to balk at anything over 1.5ec/750ppm.

I have TOO many dj original blueberry clones and one Motarebel Toxic Blue. I expect 63 days for the Toxic Blue and 65-70 for the bb's. I took a couple pics yesterday so you can see where they're at, I think they've got longer than 35 days to go but I've only got 4 or so grows under my belt so what the hell do I know!?! Each time is a little more familiar but is still like the first time.
Pics were taken day 34 of 12/12. Took 21 days to show buddage (for example, that was the day I saw the button tops for the first time on the tops)

duddits, if you go to the discount advanced nutrient site they have charts in which you can customize. but how i use it is: week 3-6 on a 8 week strain, weeks 4-7 on a 9 week strain and so on.

well u passed week3...and week 4....optimal time to start.... and your about to start week 5...did you just get it? why did you wait this long?

regardless of all that....
week 3 10ml/gal wk 4 20ml/gal week 5 20ml/gal wk 6 10ml/gal week 7 none.week 5 and 6 are also overdrive time 10ml/gal each wk.

as far as the rest of your post, im not too sure about 21 days to budage... usualy you should have , as i call them, "cotton balls" at week 2... small little white ball things. your b'cuzz line is great i used the NRG-flav before myself and like it.
good luck.

<<did you just get it? why did you wait this long?>>

Yes, I am being advised by a good friend to pick this but I was thinking about having it for this rez change. He gave me his blessing on the Big Bud but he is now confused about the Canna Boost.. the label says to use it at this point inconjunction with the Big bud. He had said its intent is to get flowers to form right away, and that it is used for first 3 weeks of flower Is that true, do you know, and should I use Canna Boost accelerator along with the Big Bud.

Yes I had those little puffs by end of week 2 . Thanks, tell me what you think!

Actually, my run will be 63-70 so I've got 6 and 7.

hmm ok then throw the Bigbud in this next change and run it 5-6-7-8, i run it 3-4-5-6 on 8-9 wk strains. the canna accelerator? this that the hella expensive(140+/-) one? i would go with what they say to use it. im not familiar with it, but ive been told its great.

Last time it went 65 days before cut and an amber trich on it was rare to see. What I loved about it was it's great head high and head/body mix. This is the second pheno so far from the pack and the first leaned much more to indica. This one seems to show me sativa/indica traits.

Yeah, that Canna Boost is $$$. Cost $35 for a 250ml bottle. They say to use 8ml/gal and I planned to use it at half strength of that.

i would not have mixed several brands boosters unless rally knowing their benefits. At least reduce all 3 to 1/3 of each'

I use BigBud 2-3-4-5-6 for 8week strains (unless in hydro then I do overdrive week 6-7).

CannaBoost I use at 1-2ml/l from first sign of pistils (10-16days) and all the way until full flowering is on, then I up the dose to 2-4ml until 14days left. Then I reduce it to 1/3 and finally the last 5-10days I give none. (I usually can go with 20-25% less ec nutrient this way.)

PS! Here is a nice site from AN and the calcultor there show you haw to implement bigbud with your regulart grow regime. (replace about 1/5-1/3 of the ec with salt-boosters like pk/BigBud/Overdrive....)

Thank you Kenny for your advice.

The Big Bud has yet to arrive, I really f*'ed myself. Was to have changed the rez last Tuesday and waited expecting Big Bud to make it by end of week. So, changed the rez last night, cut out the b'cuzz bloom stim and did add 4ml/gal of Canna Boost. Left enough headroom to be able to bump up the EC from 1.5, they could handle up to 1.8 I think. That is IF you guys think I should add it when it comes.

The last time I ran this blueberry the trichs were still all clear when I took it at day 63 so I am expecting to go to 70 days. It yields for shit but the high defines "kind" for me. The Toxic Blue in there is a monster and it will be taken at day 63.

Today is day 41 and I'll get a couple bud shots later.

What do you think, am I ok or no? (relatively speaking of course )
