Could someone please recommend additive(s) to the Foxfarm Line?

Ive been growing now for close to a year, soil only, and while ive been extremely happy with my results, I feel I could still get better buds. Im sick of getting advice from local shop owners, because at times ive known they are just trying to sell me whatever they have the best profit margin on.

I use Fox farm Ocean forest as a medium and for nutes, the whole FoxFarm line, minus Open Sesame.

I use Superthrive, Grow Big and Big Bloom during vegg and then follow their feeding schedule by using Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom, Bestie Bloomz and Chaching in flowering. I definitely have noticed a difference after adding chaching to the mix. I always flush 7-14 days before harvest.
Now that i have a better understanding on what exactly a plant is doing during its life cycle, could someone recommend something(s) that is NOT in the foxfarm nutes I use that would provide me with juicy, fatter, better tasting buds?

Also, if anyone has done a comparision of Foxfarm nutes vs other brands, id love to hear, because im also open to trying a new system.

Thanks!!!

I used to use ff but then switched outta dirt and into soiless with botanicare. Since then i have had less def's and faster growth.

The Fox Farm line-up is pretty complete. I have had great results with it. I think a carbo load may help try something like Botanicare's Sweet. Also I had a few calcium def. probs so I had to use a CalMg supplement as well when using foxfarm nutes.

The bud candy is similar to the sweet from what i've heard. The bud candy just lasts longer. Whats the difference???

fox farm nutes are a good choice. they have been around the longest and you cant do that without a good product line. I also use it, but as was said above, you could use a carbohydrate supplement like carbo load. I also had issues with a calcium deficiency, therefore, i also use cal/mag to help. If you use distilled or reverse osmosis water, you definitely need a calcium supplement. You dont need advanced nutrients line, unless you can afford it. Just use technaflora additives or botanicare or something along those lines because they are way cheaper. One last thing. Bud candy is a great product to use from advanced nutrients, but what they dont tell you is that it is just molasses. No shit. You can experiment with it, but i use about a teaspoon per gallon. it works.

What about deuce deuce by humboldt nutes? On top of using the full line of botanicare can u add this muck K 22 that seems to be way too much to me. Throws the ratio way off>>im confused with this stuff but i got a bottle and wanna use it just not sure how much and not sure exactly what it could increase...???
