bud ignitor big bud and overdrive are pk boosters kindof a 3 piece set that u use at different stages throughout flower. im on my 4th run with the bi in the mix and side by side plants with it have been noticablly larger and have much more budsites and r just a step ahead of the others early in flower. i would def reccomend it if u use AN products.
dude ur plants look amazin by the way


my expiriance that using overdrive burns my leaves and slows growth.i'm using big bud all the way till end



wow man, nice setup!!
your plants looking great!! :yes:
congrats!!
peace n grow!


thanks its all a game of fine tone and dailing it in

A few questions for ya DG. When changing locations using different water. Do you adjust your feed program as far as nutes dosage or do you adjust PH?

I'll get you some day 16 shots of a few plants soon, and I'll hold off on my Phospoload until I take the photos.

My thoughts are these boosters can be great, but can also really stunt the PK if too much is applied. My current one that is a little too foxtaily may be too much Phospo for too long.

i check the water to see ec levels and if its low then R/O is not needed..my top off water i pre ph before i add and i top off nutrients daily with about 100ml of each base nutrient

HS i dont see much of difference between the use of a booster at 14 days but at 19 days theres a big difference in size.tomorrow makes 20 days for 20 gal room and will post some pics on how much they grown..tomorrow is 15 days for 10 gal and look like your pic.i would like to see your 20 day pic to compair somewhat.i'm starting to beleave in the boosters guess it kicks in after 14 days? but maybe its the Big Bud booster doing it because few days later its on and popin.Big Bud is mixed after two weeks of flower and i plan on using it till last day before flushing i'm not stoping 2 weeks before flush and adding OverDrive for the last 2 weeks its big bud all the way home.hopefuly my therry is right and they swell more this time...i been working on my own feeding schedule

I think it comes down to part of your arsinal, your plants have always been top notch. I don't think it is one nute or the other it is your attention and zen management of the ladies. The best way to tell is for me to run one with standard mix and one with standard + booster. I think I'll do this with this run.

OverDrive burns my leaves everytime..i use big bud at the dose from their nutrient calculator from their website at full strength.i got powder this time because i think is stonger and has a better shelf life

this is my last chart but at the end notice i mix big bud and overdrive and that threw off my ph they cant mix together trial and eror so is the only thing that need to be corrected use big bud and stop and use overdrive or just big bud all the way,great chart this is for 96 gallon rez just do the math off of my numbers to your res size
by the way this is big bud liquid on this chart if you give me your res size i can do the math for you

this is 96gallon res

here is the one without mixing big bud and overdrive together the way it should be mix.put them together and its all hell i did it for two days and had to flush and just do overdrive
chart for last PK grow

I love this strain. Nice job keep it up I'm tagged. I have to try this type of growing. There has to be a way to incorporate Organics into this type of grow? I have only done Organic soil

ya can do hydro organics but from my experiance ive always had easier runs with a organic chem combo, certain thing in this mix are organic others arent i would say im bout 50 50 . my experiance with organic base nutes was that my plants were more suceptible to problems ie root rot bugz etc. mainly due to enviroment, but plants with chem or a mix can put up with alot more shit and enviromental changes. but im far from a pro like dg and dont have a chiller, iguana juice is organic so is mother earth, imo in hydro organics is more work and probs and less yield, but im sure others will disagree.
keep killin it DG

Yes I am the infected dirty cousin of ICmag. The 1.5gal of TakeDown have been mixed. I've had mites for years and don't like using poison so I only use the plant derived pesticides. I've given mites to several members of ICmag. They love the PK so much it is worth having to kill the little buggers.

The good news is that I win the war even if I lose a few battles.
