Anyone know what shooting powder and top booster actually are? From the H&G nutrient line?

top booster is used on week 5, and shooting powder weeks 6,7 and 8

if there two differant products, use 1 of them not both, you only need to use 1 pk booster unless there ment to be used together

They are used in different weeks, I believe they are additives and neither are pk boosts

Use Shooting Powder at the end of the flowering period for the last three weeks.



Prepare your nutrient container by first adding your base nutrient (e.g Cocos, Hydro, Aqua Flakes or Soil) to the water container. Reduce the strength of your base nutrient when using Shooting Powder. Add Shooting Powder and check pH and EC according to plant stage of growth.



1 sachet to 100ltrs during the last three weeks before harvest

2 sachets to 100ltrs during the last two weeks before harvest

2 sachets to 100ltrs during the last week before harvest



Only use Shooting Powder when your plants are sufficiently healthy as it is a very strong agent. Always adjust the EC value of your base nutrient to 1.2. Do not use Shooting Powder in combination with any other PK booster.



ALTHOUGH SHOOTING POWDER/TOP SHOOTER MAY STIMULATE INCREDIBLE PLANT FLORAL GROWTH AND SERIOUS YIELD INCREASE, THEY CONTAIN NO HARMFUL PGRs, SYNTHETIC HORMONES OR HARMFUL CHEMICALS.

Top Booster is the REAL PK 13/14 for serious floral production! Using premium mineral phosphorus and potassium (plus added EDDHA – FE Iron) to encourage the plant into a final stage of reproductive growth. Top booster encourages autumn hormones (ethylene) to reinforce the plants biological response to a changing light environment. Top Booster PK 13/14 is generally only used for 1 week in the middle of the reproductive stage. With this floral trigger and reinforcement of the flowering process, the plant will form larger flowers and fruits and encourage faster, higher quality yields.

both are P/K BOOSTERS

you should never use 2 differant p/k boosters together

if you buy them both, put a pic of their labels here plz. i'm curious to how much info they disclose

i almost fell for Atami Bloombastic back when i was starting out. i figured anything that expensvie had to be good. lol. went with my gut though and never did.

I got the ingredients in my prior post off of a website selling it. I have since found an actual label and what I posted previously was incorrect.

It's pH down and potassium oxide

the info i posted was from there web page

You really need to learn how to grow a plant without pumping it full of shit.

What would you recommend the most important variables are, it sounds like you dont feel addavies are so important?
But I have found some of these products really do help to the health of the plants without using things like silica, em1, veg boost has also saved the plants for me before.

Thanks mate, Ive been told a lot of these companies dont post whats really in their products on their labels sometimes because people could potentially just copy the ingredients for a 1/100th of the price

Thanks I spoke to the guys at h&g and they said you need to be very accurate using Top booster as it can cause the plants to finish early

he said When the buds are about two inches use top booster, and better to use late than early,

this is horribly absent advice from how PK boosters work , buds become all sorts of sizes... and pk booster are very normal, they can make buds develop early, thats why you need to know your genetics photocycle before using.

the plant goes through many stages of growth, PK booster need to be used in the middle of the bloom cycloe to both induce flowering development and increase yield and t health
