Increaese Mass days before harvest

Hello all, First time grower seeks guidance.
QUICK QUESTION: How should I use the 4 bloom aids listed below:
THE DETAILS:
Seeds are legal here in Ontario, so bout 10 months ago I bought some and grew and sexed a few plants, TNR, Shaman, and a G13 clone. I personally don’t believe in the G13 theory, but he's had the plant for 2 years and its some pretty good smoke, so what the hell.
From these females I raised about 200 clones and transplanted them into 6 liter (1.5 gallon) holes. I understand the holes are a little small, but digging these 200 holes in the thru the hard Canadian clay by hand was hard enough!
I transplanted these ladies on June 1st. (Remember, Ontario. That’s the start of our outdoor season, we had a frost less than a week before I planted)
That was the good news, lol.
Bad news is, only about 60 remain. These ladies where spread out in groups of 5 - 10, and deer got 1/3, slugs got the other 1/3.
From what I understand, the average one can expect (hope for) from a plant is about 1oz. So, from these last 60 ladies, if they all make it, the first Oz they give will be for my personal stash. If I can get a second ounce off them, that will be gifted to my family and close friends (and 60 oz would go in a few months with them).
What I would love, is a third ounce. With this third ounce, I would sell, and try to recoup some of the 5 grand I've spent on this operation. 200 holes worth of Black Gold gets pricy.
4th ounce would be a dream come true. Maybe a Jet ski, but I don’t think it is possible.
My question:
Below I have listed the four products I would like to use, although I suspect he first and fourth to be the same thing. Anyone have any advice or opinions on how these should be used / applied? IF you can be specific as to quantities and frequencies I would be most appreciative.

Hey TO Twister,

I not going to be able to help you decide on those nutes...never used any of those before. My advice to you would be: don't overthink this. Basically all you need from this point on is something high in Phosphorus to help with flowering. A trip to Canadian Tire or Home Depot and you'll find Miracle Grow or other fertizlizers used for flowering on tomatoes. Just make sure the P (from N-P-K) is higher than the other numbers. If you want to go the organic route you can use Bone Meal (but be careful - it sometimes it attracts pests like racoons). Persoanlly I use Bat Guano (2-15-0) for flowering and it works fine.
And as far as yield is concerned, for an outdoor grow I would hope that you get a minumum of 3 ounces per plant. I usually figure on getting 6 oz per plant, some more and some less.

The only thing that concerns me about your grow is the size of the holes. Hopefully they're in good natural soil beyone those holes, because 1.5 gallon ain't that big.

Best of luck with the rest of your grow. Be sure to check in with us in the fall....I'm curious to see what type of yield you end up with.

I do the same thing with molasses or something I make like botanicare sweet with sugar molasses and epsom salts. If its at the end of flowering I add 2 tbl per gal for soil 1 tbl per gal for hrdro. It realy adds the mass. You can also use stuff like foxfarms cha ching (Iam) or gravity that is made for just what you are talking about and it is made just for herb. Helps grow more crystals at the end of flowering and that helps stops mass loss when you dry. The first item on your list is best for hydro but will work for soil the last (molasses) is best for soil but alittle will work for hydro. For soil I add stuff like sweet or molasses or with every watering the same for hydro. For the cha ching or gravity kind of stuff I add to soil every other watering for hydro I add with every watering as per the label up to one week before harvest.

Hi,
I have done a good bit of outdoor growing in your climate and really so much depends on the weather. All the nutes in the world won't help if mother nature doesn't cooperate the next five weeks or so.
I hope your able check for boys and just let them take care of themselves until first frost. You don't want those ladies tasting all chemically now do ya.
Some years a half lb was common on 1 plant always a half oz or better on poor years.
Even without the nutes you will not believe the bulk those ladies put on the last couple weeks of cool weather.
I don't think your getting a new jet ski but I bet if patient, you'll be amazed.

Ps. I do know clay:hug:
