3Adding a Bloom Additive

So I am at Day 29 post 12/12 and the girls are finally starting to take off after a nearly 4 week stretch. I am using GH Flora line nutes. (Micro, Gro, Bloom) I also use CalMg Plus. These 4 plants are pretty large. they take up a 6X6 space and are all right around 30" tall. a buddy said I need to add a bloom additive to help fatten the flowers so I got some GH Liquid KoolBloom (0-10-10). My question is do I replace the Flora Bloom Nute with this or do I add it in addition?

When the KoolBloom arrives I am going to change out the rez. right now I am running PPM of around 750. thats using 1 tsp / G of Micro, 1/2 tsp / G of Gro, 1 1/2 tsp / G of Bloom, 1/2 tsp / G of CalMg. I am starting to get some minor tip burn on one of the plants so I think its time to remove the Gro nute and cut the Micro nute in half. but I am not sure about the amount of Bloom to use when I start adding the KoolBloom. Any advice would be great! Thanks! :)

Are u in soil?

What schedule are u using, looks like soil amounts

I use GH Flora trio also
I use liquid Koolbloom, 1t /g from the start of flip, and no, it's an additive not a replacement

No, I am in a recirculating under current hydro system. I am using this schedule. this is only my second grow so I found this schedule during my first grow and just stuck with it. I am using the mid bloom ratios.

This chart is about half strength of the one I use

So kick it up and blow up those buds

Should I still increase the Micro and Gro nutes even though the one plant is showing some tip burn? I am definately going to up the Bloom nutes and add the KoolBloom. Appreciate all the feedback!

Why plant is different? Meaning strain, sativa or indica or hybrid...pics of it, can't tell on the ones u sent on my phone

I usually dump Grow by mid bloom, too much N for sure

And some Sativa I'll drop the Micro to,but usually they all go with the same

I'd bump to 75% of the chart I sent you, whish looks like a 25% increase

That said

If yer one is sensitive already, maybe just boost bloom on it

All 4 are the same strain. Seedsman White Widow X Big Bud fems. All have nice white HUGE root systems.

I have two separate rez tanks so that I can do multiple strains easily. but my plan didnt work as my Blueberry Fems all turned out Male (clearly a mistake at the bank which they made right) so I had to use the same strain across the board. the two plants on the right were smaller and grew different than the ones on the left from sprout, but have caught up to the other 2 in the last couple weeks. they were the ones I was planning on tossing initially but had to use them with my blueberry debacle.

The plant in the back right is the one showing tip burn. none of the other plants show any sign in fact I am starting to see some yellowing of the lower leaves on the two plants on the left. I do not think I lollipopped her high enough. next time I will know better.

Probably just that pheno

I'd boost em all and see what she does, worst case you can back them off

But I'd nix the Grow or Green one for both, that will eliminate a lot of N
